Comments:

Purchased as government surplus from the National Research Council of Canada workshops located in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Still works perfectly. Just posting since there are not many examples shown of the equipment manufactured by this company. Today this would be described as an Engine Hoist but Lempco marketed it as a mobile crane (trademarked MobilCrane) as per the brochures/advertisements shown below.
