Just found some pictures of an old crane on a Dutch forum:

Judging 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.

Re: Jones Cranes.
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
