Volvo FM480 - P.L. Jessen
In 2007 I got this, new at that time, Volvo FM480 8x4 of P.L. Jessen from Fredericia (DK) for my camera.
The tractor parks here at the conpany yard and gets washed.

It has a rather short wheelbase for a crane truck. Behind the cab stands a Palfinger PK100002, the F-version that reaches up to 17,3 meters and can lift 4,12 tons there.

It has got a drawbar coupling because it can be equiped with a flatbed and used as a truck. Just above the rear lights you see a knob on which the flatbed can be mounted (at the front, beside the rack, you can see another one).

On this side it has got a large toolbox and a smaller V-shaped version that is mounted between the rear axles.

The crane is equiped here with a PJ170E jib, that gives an outreach of 30,2 meters.

A nice compact crane truck. The front outrigger also provides good stability, as the builder (Hadsten Tipservice) has reinforced the chassis to the front aswell.
