Let’s cut to the chase. JOMAC is now offering a 10-year limited warranty on all cranes. Manufactured at the Carrollton, OH headquarters in the heart of US of A, JOMAC offers unlimited possibilities of customized and fabricated truck body cranes.
Recognized as an industry standard, JOMAC has perfected the craft of fabricating and engineering, creating truck-mounted knuckle boom, telescoping, and mobile hydraulic cranes for most any trade and application.
Now, upping the ante, JOMAC has released their 10-year, limited warranty. The fabricated structure of the crane will be guaranteed for 10 years, and parts will even be guaranteed for a year (not including cables or hoses).
As with any device, structure, truck, microwave, or weed eater, if the product has been abused, overloaded, neglected, misused, or altered (don’t try to hot rod your crane, dude), the warranty would be voided. For all of us responsible, law abiding crane users, that should not be a problem.
As a recognized industry leader in knuckle boom, telescoping, and mobile hydraulic cranes, JOMAC has the most generous warranty period in the truck-mounted crane market.
10 years is an awfully long time. Some call it a decade and a whole heck of a lot can change in that time period. Except a warranty on a JOMAC crane because that stays the same. Duh.
In all seriousness, here’s what was going on 10 years ago, and it will almost definitely put into perspective how long a JOMAC crane warranty will last.
1. Stock Market Crash
I am still trying to forget this one. Ten years ago we were approaching a full blown recession and faced some of the worst economic conditions of our lifetimes. Luckily, it seems everything has turned around.
2. Joe Flacco had just been drafted
Yeah, it has really been that long. Some things don’t change though, like me hating the Baltimore Ravens. That’s a topic for a different day.
3. Your cell phone probably looked like this
While the Iphone 1st generation had launched in 2007, no one besides Warren Buffet, Scrooge McDuck, and John Rockefeller could afford one. You probably had something that looked like the photo above. And if you did, you know how much easier it was to carry a phone in your pocket. Oh simpler times. RIP Motorola RAZR.
4. The Dark Knight is released in theaters
The jury is still out on whether or not Heath Ledger’s performance outdoes Jack Nicholson’s in the 1989 Batman iteration. Regardless, yeah it has been ten years and 3 (I think) Batman movies later, in case that’s important to you. Which it should be.
5. The Golden State Warriors were 28-53 for a .353 winning percentage
It’s like I can’t remember that they used to be bad. I don’t think anyone can. Manta Ellis was the biggest name on the roster.
Who?
Exactly.
6. Steel service truck bodies were still heavy, impractical, and prone to rusting out
They still are.
I mean…
This one was kind of obvious.
Some things don’t change.
7. We still printed out directions on Map Quest
Remember that comment earlier about cell phones? Well we forget what sort of convenience the fancy shmancy pocket computer has brought into our lives.
Ten years ago, if you were headed anywhere unfamiliar, you had better print out the detailed directions on Map Quest.
OR
You could stop at the local gas station and get directions which probably sounded something like this…
“Well, your gonna go bout’ two miles and you will see a yella brick school house. There will be an intersection there, but the stop sign was ran over two Sundays ago, and the county ain’t put it back up yet. At that intersection take a right. No, maybe it’s a left if you’re coming from this way. No, yeah, it’s a right. Take that about half a mile up and look for the place with the white mail box.”
Yeah, that was ten years ago. How time flies.
Ten years is a long time. It’s even longer for a piece of heavy machinery to last. That’s why the JOMAC guarantee on portable, truck-mounted cranes is so unbelievable.
