got word from a friend at sterett their 1500 was coming to town. was suppose to set beams tomorrow but got cancelled for some reason, but will probably have a job here mid-late week. told me they were attaching the boom, but i couldnt make it over to the yard as i was accross town at work. but after work, i went by anyway to check her out. they pulled the boom back off about a half hr before i got there but my buddy said he will text me when they go to the site later in the week. anyways, I HAVE FINALLY SEEN AN LTM1500 !!!! not the best photos as she was parked in the back by trees, will get more hopefully up close soon

Thanks I'm really thinking about a repaint, repainting my ltm1200 and 1300 right now, almost finished. I really like the factory yellow 1500 but it would look good red and white

Very nice pictures overall. I really like the beam trailers. Just got a Euro Nooteboom windmill mast trailer. Will eventually remove the supports and use a beam I made over the pivots... Stephane

wow, its been a while since i last posted on this thread. i quit posting updates on the bridge as it seems there isn't much interest in it but anyways, got the info of the whereabouts of the big girl, sterett was called to put in this pedestrian bridge. whole span was 173ft i think, split into 2 sections. they used a ltm1300 and the big girl, ltm1500 with super lift. the biggest span weighed in at around 120,000lbs and had to be set at a 92ft radius. the 1500 is a 2001 model so it doesn't have the split Y-guy, but still really cool to see up close. she was pretty much at max capacity at radius, maybe 3-4k to the good, still close. was hoping to watch them tear her down today but they are taking it down tomorrow, so i won't get to see the boom come off. alright, enough jabbering... this was a 96ft radius
