I'm not sure who uses this truck, but I'd guess that it's the signal maintainer's ride. It does not have steel wheels, so it is limited to roads. |

| Description: |
It doesn't tell too much. The particular statistic I was interested in, date of manufacture, is not preJent. The U.S. patent number is for "triangular truss walkout cantilever", patented way back in 1989. See http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/5008967.html for more information. |
