I've got a 1-ton Harvey Frost crane here, much like the Epco, looking
for a new home.
It really does lift a ton, & probably a bit more, I unloaded my
Bridgeport Series I CNC mill with it with the aid of some creative
slinging.
Warrington area, though, probably not much help if he's talking about
Norwich.

Funnily enough, I have a Harvey Frost Easiload vehicle mounted crane
that I'm rennovating to replace a crappy Lucas electric Swinglift.
Sorta like an engine giraffe, but with a turntable and mechanical
slewing at the bottom instead of legs. Gave £30 for it at a farm sale.
Rarer than the Epco's, but fully as good...
When buying lifting tackle, I try to stick to Epco, H.F, Morris, Felco
or Bradbury (there are a couple more, but the names escape the memory).
Bit pricier, but I know I can get them rebuilt & tested and rely on
them safely for a lifetime.
