Here are some of the shots that I took of all the cranes around the open house. If you look close, you'll see an LR1750, PTC, Big Muskie, and BE 8750 drag line together in the background of one picture.

Great selection of pics. The silent auction crawlers had some good reserve prices attached, but the wheeled hydraulics like the AC1600 / AC500 seemed a bit high. In fact, I thought the three (?) AC1600s were among (the few) really good buys in the Saturday regular auction. Or I paid too much for mine on E-Bay! d'oh!

Sweet pictures. In the third picture, what is the old crane next to the hitachi, it looks like a Bucyrus Erie and is that a Lima 2400 I see also.

Nice shots, thanks for sharing,

Although the 16000 & 18000 with 3 time too much upper counter weights are a bit odd. in reality, the counter weight tray on the 16000 (series 3 cwt is 8 slabs per side) would fail, toppling the crane, or it would just go over back wards. That is what a maxer is for, as for the 18000 (series 3 is a max of 28 slabs, 14 per side). as for the Maxer wagon, 4 center weights and 12 outer slabs.
