Very disappointed in you Bob...letting that other miscreant near that crane without Mammoet attire.......plain a simply ruined that picture .....nice pics guys and thank you so much. That was very civil of the security guard also...don't get that very often I would hazard to guess.

Great great that is an amazing crane. Sweet set of pics I am glad us Texas guys do not get all the fun. I took my little crane model out today and we got some great shots of the 21000. We actually got on our crane, you guys need to do some sweet talking and get up on the cranes next time. What is that yellow crane any close ups? Will post my when the wife finishes up her homework  Jason

Thanks guys-we had a great time. AS you can all see it was impressive to see one of the worlds big ones on station! As a note there were at least 20 other cranes on site, most all of them with luffers. American's, Link Belts, Manitowoc's and several Liebhiers. On any other day Zach and I would have been Oh Yea and high fiving, but today it was like, oh yea there are others here, but hey that PTC is unbelievable!! We also were able to see about three axles of a line up of SPMT's with a a huge Mammoet spreader bar on it, but the photo op was not there. I am going to see how much longer the PTC is going to be there. We also have it on good authority from the Q-man himself that they are going to add more boom and get the unit over 500 feet. It looks like today it was at 280-300 feet. So I am off to send a message to my Mammoet friends to see what the schedule is!! Now, I may just be inspired to get out the extension kit out for my PTC, after all I have tomorrow off................

Nice pics of the crane.
Hey Todd, You are a week late. Gillen had two of their Soil Mec's working in Naperville on the new Jefferson st bridge But Catom moved them both out of there a week ago. One is setting in the Catom yard and the other one went to West Chicago. My inlaws live about a mile from this job in Naperville.

WOW that is a thing of beauty. Not to mention an engineering marvel when I look at all the lines run. I am not very smart when it comes to cranes but dam that thing would have me sitting there for a whole day tryin to figure out how the heck does it all go into containers. How long does it take to break it down and box it up?????
