This weekend see's a very busy one for Ainscough, we have just about all our big stuff out and the job I'm on had seen a cross hire of Mammoets GMK7450 & one of Mcnallys LTM1500's. We are removing two ageing railway bridges and replacing them with new ones. All this had to be done in 36 hours so as you can imagine it is go go go.

Did not get great pictures as I never took my digital SLR so they where off my phone sorry, that and I was flat out rigging. I like to get out the operators seat every now and then and do a big of hard labour. The end of my 1st shift saw the 500 remove the 1 section of the old bridge, I'm back at work in a few hours for my second shift which will hopefully be day shift have finished removing the old bridge and the new one in ready to go in.













My handy work, see not just a cracking crane operator i've got other talents


This was my final view before I headed home to bed, the old bridge comes out in 3 sections and the new one in 2. Glad to see my rigging did the job


I'll see if i can get a few tonights shift but it will be dark!

Falling a bit behind on my post recently due to a lack of high speed internet, sorry bout that so i'll try make it up with a few pictures of late. This week i'm up at Immingham docks loading out some wind turbine components into storage, working along side another LTM1150.

view from side of my cab, looks familier!


Quite difficult moving the tower sections around, need a lot of space.


Seeing double


Quite a lot of moving the 150 around, couple of lifts and crane needs moving, can't lift 30t far at all.


Cold, wet morning but we got all the blades stacked up.


70t base section


Literally lift off the wagon, it pulls out and drop to the floor.


As always a wagon for Paul


And something a little different for you dirt guys



Did this a few weeks ago, stood up some new Silo's at a flour mill.


and.....wagon for Paul


Top'n'tail with a LTM1100

Nice shots Gaz Loving the the shots with the two 150's

I've heard a rumor as well, in fact I had a nice cuppa with said fella this afternoon after he decided to pull me over on the A1! Just got in now mate, was a nice steady trip south.

Glad to have you on board fella, you know what you have to do now.........find as much work for a LTM1150 as you can, call it a challenge if you like
