Thanks Steve! It seems that all of the LTM1800's in the uk are non stop workers, liebherr must have done something right with this crane!

Sam your right there, when it was on our site back in September, talking to the operator, said they were in London on the Sunday , de-rigged Sunday and drove straight up to Fleetwood arrived on site at 02:00 am was rigged up by 10:00 Monday morning, we had it on our site for four days, then off again to Birmingham, opperator was saying he will not have a decent break for at least another fortnight  As you say Liebherr got it right with this one, for a crane thats nearly 20 years old remarkable.

Excellent action shots as usual Sam  I really like the demolition ones and was surprised that the big hook skips(is that what you call them?) weren't blown away with the force of the demolition.

Thank you all! And the morning spent taking the demolition pics was great, the hook skips were all filled with rubble, about 20t a skip, but they did well not to move at all! And the ones protecting the house were held together with wire rope and then were wire ropes to the building also!

Steve. Sounds like they're run off their feet! And i find it amazing that a crane of that age is still as in demand as the brand new ones
