In July 1971, Cranes Today reported on the Coles-Priestman summer show which had been held over a period of seven days the previous month at Feltham in the UK. Highlight was the introduction of the Priestman MC350, a diesel mechanical 35 ton rated lattice boom crawler designed for grab or drag line operation. It was demonstrated erecting a simulated industrial pipework complex. Also on parade for the week were a range of Hydra telescopic truck cranes from 7 ton to 25 ton capacities and the Hydra Husky 10 ton and 15 ton rough terrrains.
