Emiel,
I hope you have more pictures of this crane, close ups. I saw a video of this crane on Youtube moving on a construction site. Thanks for posting your pics.

It always amazes me that they can find enough room in an urban area like that to assemble and disassemble a crane boom of that size. Thats got to be over 500 feet of boom / jib. Great pics.

great pics , not bad enough that there's a limitation on room ,but it also looks like the out board outriggers are sitting on a ramp or entrance to a tunnel nobody had a rubber measuring tape on that job

 Would I be correct in assuming the (3) sheaves on top are for (3) different lines coming form three different winches - assuming rather a massive load for a jib? So with (1) winch, the single line will only be reeved to the center set of lower sheaves? With (2) lines, they would be placed on the outside (upper) sheaves and reeved into the outside (lower) set of sheaves?

Great pics. It´s more than 650 feet (95m main boom + 105m extension = 200m). Probably the highest mobile crane ever. Jan

This jib-head is also used for long mainboom lengths, it's just called "light-boomhead". You are correct regarding 2 lines going into 1 hookblock, the third sheave is used for the runner. I know I got a picture of it somewhere....  Found it, runner is attached to the boomhead and 1 line goes over it to the hookblock
