Just found some pictures of an old crane on a Dutch forum:
http://www.bouwmachineforum.nl/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=7708Judging by the wheels it looks like a Jones crane.
Who knows more?

Hello
I Wrote to Jones cranes and received this leaflet when I was a boy in school. I would have been about 15 so that dates it at about 1955.
At that time a local saw mills had a not very new KL33 which doesn't figure in the leaflet.
They advertised the steel outer rims on the wheels as a "Jones Patent" saftey feature.
A friend of mine still has a JIF6 ( Jones Iron Fairy 6 ) in daily use , I'll get some photos.
Meanwhile here are a few more photos, including a crawler.

Looking for any pictures of the Jones KL 11-7 model, especially interested in the ones mounted on a six wheeled chassis in the late 60's/ early 70's ......don't think there was many of them!! Does anyone know the whereabouts of any that might have survived?

I have just received some old Jones catalogues and I think this particular model is identified as a KL 15 - 30

Hi Adrian and Brian,
Thanks for your replies,
either way there can't have been too many of these built.
It's very difficult to find info. on these cranes now, I'll just keep looking.
