That crane is really god and strong, nice and sturdy, but it is a fecking pain in the back side to store, ad move. Its really big and funking heavy.

I dont know if you have a garage to keep it at, or what, but my advice would be get a lsightly less bulky one if your pushed for space or have to get it out the shed or something?
