Stole these pics off of instagram, but does anyone know who the manufacturer is of this Waste Management Crawler crane is. It is used at a local sand pit for extracting sand. I've been told its a Sennebogen, but it looks identical to a PLM cycle crane to me though. Thanks for any help, they got a very cool operation where this machine is located at.

It's a PLM, no doubt whatsoever.

Thanks Weserhutte, I thought it was a PLM, but it is always good to get a second opinion. They also got several Manitowoc 4600 Draglines working at a neighboring pit too.

Yes this operation is located in Morrisville PA. They operate 2 pits, a compost site and 3 landfills in the area. The sand pits I believe are use to extract sand for cover material. That whole area has always been largely been used for sand mining, some of the original operators was the Warner Co, and Van Sciver sand company. The Warner Co was the largest sand and concrete producer in the Philadelphia area. They where founded in 1794, and had a huge fleet of mining equipment, boats, barges, they even had a walking dragline. They have been out of business for quite a while now, I believe Hanson acquired them.
