is that the stick and bucket sitting on the ground to the left of the 345 loading the skip
Why is "phonetically" spelt with a "ph"?
... It's better to be silent and thought a fool, then to speak up and remove all doubt
The complex of Newgrange was originally built between c. 3100 and 2900 BC,[2] meaning that it's aproximately 5,000 years old. According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.

Wow must say such a sad end to a machine couldnt they just order a new stick for the machine? Suppose its too late now if they scrapped the bucket and q/c. Seems a little dumb...

Cat966f: The spelling of that is "Vierendeel truss" - it is named after its Belgian inventor.
DC Craneman: I was under the impression that Favco stopped producing the telescopic crawlers a while back, unless they've restarted due to thier recent popularity.

Per their web site, the Faval Favcos are still built. You never know exactly where they are sourcing their machines though. The base of these appears to be a Cat excavator though and not a purpose built crane machinery deck as in the others. I believe that someone else tried this too.
Another major crane manufacturer building telescopic crawlers that I failed to mention earlier is Liebherr. Their telescopic crawlers are availabe in 60, 100 and 1200 ton sizes.
Whether Grove is interested in getting back into this, we shall have to wait and see. They did just introduce a new 150 US ton rought terrain.

Dump on the edges, the middle will take care of itself. Never look down on ANYONE! Unless it is to lift them up.

Just because it was placed in a drop box, does not mean it was scrapped, We haul lots of stuff from the jobsites to our yard in drop boxes; sticks, attachments, bobcats, salvage timber...
