Don't have very many on hand but this is what I have:
Think I can dig few older ones out. 
1986 Mecedes Benz Tubo Diesel 1117, 5 ton marion hi-lift
From 1996, the one in the left front is the 7 ton marion lift stock. the lift goes nearly as high as the one above and would most definitely go hiher except for the way it's configured. Easily can be converted to 9 or 10 ton.
From 1975 ..My Uncle and his tow nephews, the handsome one on the left is me.

Yea that last one is something, my Uncle has a lift that was for one ton and mechanically operated. Pretty much worthles as far as I can tell, might s well just shovel it.
