Ok since i dont know alot about cranes im going to ask this question why dose the front of the crane look more like a oilfeild truck and the rear a moduel. I know the outriggers are not on as they are too big and will not foled away.

I know the outriggers are not on as they are too big and will not foled away. This is how these cranes are transported. Even the cranes used by Sarens today are transported like this, but is pinned to the back of the front peice not on top like this one. You can see the lights on the back of the front peice.

I know a crane-company in Thailand, and it's quite usual with several people riding on a crane. I'l see if I can find some photos to show.  Sorry, didn't find them. Any way, 4 people on a crane in Thailand I belive you may see any time. The company I know in Thailand, Natavut Eng. Ltd. Thailand by Mr. Taweesak Suksri

Mostly safety must concern on site and by transportation period they have service car cover front and back as well (not show in picture) Yes, a lot of fun for worker who not follow regulation  wait to see that pic.
