I was going to work yesterday and noticed this big boy and all it's ancillary sitting in the parking lot and waiting to start their next lift. Swung by and took a few phone photos. Didn't know what it was initially and couldn't find a data plate, and that Demag name threw me for a loop, but it maybe an AC 500-2.

Nice pictures!

This looks like the AC500 with the ninth axle.

This is a unique AC500-2 for use in the US. Not only does it have a removable boom and super lift but also a removable 9th axle. Maxim also owns an identical unit.
Plenty of pictures of Maxim's unit about 1/2 down the page.

I thought air ship hangers were a thing of the past that looks new.
