Cool shots Jason. F.Y.I there is another Lewis crawler (those guys must be busy) at Market Center and 35E in Dallas. It's another Zoomlion. This one is a QUY 120. During daylight hours jobsite security is pretty lax. My apprentice and I put our hardhats on and walked right up to it and got some great shots. It was still there last week.

Figures I should have drove that way. I was killing time yesterday and drove up 35 to Denton in search of booms up in the air. I should have drove my usual route and I would have seen that craneWhatever Ohwell maybe next time

Looks a great looking crane, specially with that, i think its called luffer, extension on the boom too.

As Mammoet says "SIZE DOES MATTER". Slowly collecting Mammoet 1:50 scale stuff. Mainly cranes!

Nice catch Jason and sweet pics really like that classic cool front end unlike the dull looking ones on the HC278 Linkbelts.The Centurian cab was another great lookin frontend with the massive below bumper counter weight also seen on mobile drill rigs.Not much USA style unlike the sleek German made units on the new HYD. Leibherrs and Demags !

Chet

Great picsApplause I still do not understand why some companies do not like us taking pictures of their equipment!=>:-< < Confused That is one thing I have never gotten about some companies most like that you take an interest in their company ad work. Like at school we have a new base ball field going in and I am photographing the progress and all the contractors are extremely nice to me and even give me company hard hats when I go on site for pics and they let me keep them. I have also talked to the operators and they like my interest. So when the demo company was finishing up I made them a movie of their part of the project as a way to show them my thanks.
