No, he wasn’t threatening to break my legs over something I wrote. Actually, he’s associated with a transport company called G-Force Enterprises located in South Range, Wisconsin. The company has a variety of construction equipment for sale. Guido was inquiring if I knew anyone interested in restoring a piece of Lorain history.
"I hate to scrap it. I was just wondering if you knew anybody that collected or restored them. Let me know if you do. Thanks for your time.”
I told him I would see what I could do to help. If you know of anyone that would be interested, Guido can be reached at gforce_enterprises@yahoo.com.
Anyway, Guido’s email was a nice reminder of the days when Thew Shovel products made the name “Lorain” known throughout the world.

Dan,
Let me suggest forwarding Guido's email to the Western Reserve Historical Society in Cleveland - https://www.wrhs.org - they mostly focus on Cleveland/Cuyahoga County history, but they have a good sized vehicle collection, and given the rarity of a running Lorain shovel they might be interested, or know someone who is.

If any one sees this I sold an antique crane on new years 2021. It was a Lorain and I believe the buyer was from the east coast. I am trying to contact the buyer. I recently found the original owners manual and blue prints . Any help would be appreciated greatly. I was told it was going to be restored.
Is lorain company still exists..
@ Anonymous,, out of curiosity, what did you sell the crane for in 2021?
