Default Wanted to buy: One Man Rigger

My home-built rigger (built by a friend, not me) uses large pneumatic
tires. It works very well on dirt, gravel, grass, and pavement. I
removed the height adjustment jack to make it smaller and lighter and
simply drilled and bolted the height to where the wings slide into each
other. Minor vertical adjustments can be made with the trailer's cradle
jack.

Let me know what you have.

I guess one question should be asked...... what kind of surface/ground are you typically going to use the rigger on?
Some set-ups work great, but only on smooth/flat/hard surfaces.
Other riggers are "so-so" on smooth/hard, but work on soft/rutted surfaces.

Maybe users of riggers can explain what surface they are normally on to help you with your selection.

Just a thought. ;-)
