  • 1943 Toro tandem roller. This little roller was designed for use on tennis courts, sidewalks, lawns and other light duties.
  • Built in 1940, this Unit 617 dragline shows the conventional boxy house Unit used before developing its standard high-visibility cab.
  • c. 1952 Unit Crane & Shovel 1020 crawler crane. The profile of the house, with the cab roof much higher than the roof of the engine enclosure, was a Unit hallmark and made for excellent visibility.
  • This fixer-upper is the upper works of a 1920s Universal Crane. In 1919, this Elyria, Ohio, firm developed the first crane for truck mounting; they furnished the crane for the customer's truck.
