It is a good study in earlier generation Manitowoc gantry designs and cab designs in the crane shots.

Gotcha
I can see a green looking big gantry holding a spreader beam from here.
It's a little north of big SJPA dock clamshell crane at gypsum and cement plant.

I've been seeing your concrete beam convoys moving in the afternoons making the left onto Morgan.

John Suckoe's beam convoy..











Going in to dig out the corners..



People who design Junttans, obviously don't think about the poor soles that will have to work on them..





ooops

Finished driving sheets with the old girl 4000.
Laid gantry down and walked her under wires to add fixed leads and new Junttan hammer and power pack.

Thanks for the update Joe. Looks like Samuel Grossi and Sons is busy, they currently have two of their Link-Belt TG-1900's set up on jobs across the river. I think one is an Ex Falcon Steel crane.
