WOW! Amazing pictures!
How did you take those pictures? From a helicopter? Or did you climb up the boom of the 18000?

Nice! Like how you got the crane in motion backing up, have to be in the right place at the right time to catch these photos.

Hey Vinny, Keep an eye out next week for some interesting pics. Hint: 9/11 Memorial artifacts, I'm running the rigging gang there for the next two weeks and again in August..Starts Monday.. Google Hangar 17 JFK airport for an idea of some of the pieces..Great shots of the 18000, we also are working at the transportation hub. We are gonna be removing part of the wall in pieces, 40,000lbs a pick and about 140 picks at night very soon...Shhh Wink

Thanks for the info! Your picking the 40k with the 18000? Also do you mean the wall - something in the East Bathtub?

We rigged up the LTM 1350 today. Got the O.K. on the set-up, and start picking gear tomorrow. Artifacts on Wed. More info to follow..Also met a fellow forum member today, John is the oiler on that rig.. Always a pleasure meeting people who enjoy their job as I and my crew do..Also watched the Oper. pull the plastic off his seat. You don't see that everyday on a "NEW" Liebherr..Applause Applause Cool

Same here. It is supposed to be coming mid-July, probably around the same time the 18000 leaves.

Views from the room, really awesome. Again, I'm posting the photos in separate posts so if it goes onto the next page, it will benefit you if you have a slow internet connection. People liek the photos so I will keep adding as I take them..
