I've been in this racket for years and as far as I'm concerned tow trucks are a lame peice of equipment when used for scrapping.

When I had my yard the excavator with a thumb was number 1 over the Michigan loader then came the crane truck that had an Atlas picker on it. That Atlas does't even come close in comparsiom to the Palfinger. Albeit the Atlas was a step up from the old Hiab cranes I've owned.
I just took a tour of the factory that retrofits Palfinger Cranes ontp trucks and stuff. NIIICEEEE
