Hello all cookies fans, get a big bag and enjoy. This is photos from Gulf Special Services LR 11350. I saw it with luffer up last fall but never go off the the highway to check it out thinking I couldn't get to it. Well I finally went to check it out and found a Mexican base crane company with a yard in Houston. The main boom has been removed and the derrick is tipped forward but still a very impressive crane to see up close in person.

photo bucket with LR 11350
80 photos to enjoy.








Surprise there are two 7.5 counter weights on the inside of each trackCool


thickness of main hook block side plate


pin connection for main boom.

Take care,
Fritz

Why is "phonetically" spelt with a "ph"?

The complex of Newgrange was originally built between c. 3100 and 2900 BC,[2] meaning that it's aproximately 5,000 years old. According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.
