This is a blog about trucks and trucking from Halifax Nova Scotia, Canada, hence Truckfax.
My aim is to share photos of trucks from my collection and to post items about interesting trucks that I see from time to time.
I will take a pretty broad view of trucks- from pick-ups to semis, buses to amphibians, and from all continents- not just North America.
Since I probably will not post something every day, it would be best to sign up for e-mail alerts. That way you will be notified immediately when I post something new.
A crane truck with Alberta plates has appeared in Halifax. Did he overshoot the driveway? Perhaps with the slowdown in the western Canada economy the owner is expanding east. In any event it is an impressive unit.
It is a Manitex 4596T, with a 90,000 lb capacity.
The chassis is a Western Star tri-drive, featuring twin steering axles forward and three drive axles in the rear. The heavy frame also carries a fifth wheel for hauling a semi-trailer.
