Yes, it's a Liebherr LTM1500-8.1.

Is it still 073 180 which is stationed there? I looks like it might be permanently now the GMK7450 has been sold.

Slightly off topic, but.....

This is a question for all you crane drivers, does that hook block create a blind spot when driving?

It must be a nightmare driving with a huge lump of metal dangling just a few feet in front of the cab.

Nostalgia is not what it used to be

Thought they had brought a rule out where the hookblock had to be stored behind the cab, could be wrong.

Very interesting, looks like you'll be waving goodbye to the green livery over the coming years!

That is a shame. The James Jack livery im my opinion is one of the nicest out there.
