you dont see many of these working nowadays and its a pity it was the first Crawler Crane i learnt to drive, i used it as a crane, dragline, but mainly with a demolition ball attached, in my opinion the the manual crane was more accurate than the air version, the swing on the air version seemed to do what it wanted to do and not what you wanted to do, i also drove, NCK, Smiths, American Hoist, Manitowoc, Linkbelt, those were the days, last 20 years i have been driving Hydraulic crawler Cranes.
I wouldn't see why you would want air cintrols on a 22. They were easy to operate if you knew how to set the clutches. I'd a lot rather have a manual any time.
hello do you mind telling me what type of engine the 22rb uses and where might i find more info on it. i found one with the engine disassembled and no markings or signs of engine number. i plan on rebuilding for hobby.
That is not a long & wide, it has the standard track base... I am surprised it hasn't got air assistance if it is 1979 model, maybe it was an option. The 22RB had a number of engine variants, including water cooled & air cooled!,
I drove one of these laying railway track at Peak Rail in Derbyshire. Lovely machine always started first time.
My granda used to drive one of these dragline version lovely machine!!
I think this is a much older machine because it has telescopic backstops, the knee type were introduced in the middle 70s.
I love these old 22’s but never realized the drive sprockets are basically riding in the dirt
Anthony, this 22rb had a dorman engine fitted. Some of the bigger rb cranes have paxman engines in them.

Does anyone know what the actual weight of this crane is? Not the lifting weight.
Hey where can I find the clutch liners for these dragline to buy

Buy a 22RB and you will never have to walk your dog again!

Yes it's a long and wide for sure. It's got 7 rollers in the track frame the standard machine has 6. You can also tell by the drive sprockets.
Ballymena heh
