    That is the sort of kit the Navy had on their carriers. Grove call them "Carrydeck" and I think that one is a GCD15 (Nerd hat on now). Had to be powerful but small for a carrier.
    Quite impressed how some faffing, easy start and an extinguisher got that little beauty running and even working. Of course there was never any doubt with Ted supervising proceedings.
    RIP the booster pack.

    I actually grew up 5 minutes from grove manufacturing in Pennsylvania. It’s in the middle of farmland in a rural valley. Always cool to see these cranes all over the world. I saw a good many in London in 2019.

    Looks like a Perkins G4.203 engine, worked on one some 10+ years ago. The piston crowns have a huge machined dish in them to drop the compression ratio from that of the diesel 4.203.

      The "boom extension" is a fly-jib and it provides extra horizontal, not vertical, reach.

      @@kcnmsepognln
      There are fly jibs, luffing jibs and purely boom extensions bolted or pinned straight to the telescopic boom.
      If it's inline wit the telescopic elements,it's an extension,and it will have the same angle relative to the ground as the boom itself.

    Nice find mate, little 'pick and carry' cranes like that are rare as f@&k in the UK now.
    Even old Coles Iron Fairy's aren't common anymore.
    That looks like a Perkins G4.203.
    They made a few of their engines in petrol/LPG, diesel bottom endsl with different pistons/heads so pretty bomb proof and they were factory, not converted as a lot of people think they are. Mainly used in forklifts. Better off replacing all the LPG stuff with Impco stuff - cheap, simple and easily available.
