Well I got some inside info on these new cranes, Thanks Jeff Here is a teaser til I get the rest of the pics downloaded. You can see they are setting up the 14000, the 777 is farther back in the pic you might be able to see the boom. the great luck continues   A lot more to come, and check out the size of the bucket on the 345 Jason

Ok I am downloading a few at a time here at work  a few more brand new 14000  they should have it boomed up in a few days if not earlier Brand new 777  CAT 345 with a huge mass bucket   The bucket on this thing is just huge, I took about a minute and half of video of it loading. I am going to take the little girl over Sunday when they are all off and get some nice close ups. I have a few close ups of the 777 will post when I get a chance. Jason

that bucket just looks out of place,but takes the attention away from the wrote off ballast weight,the operator who caused that should be shot,
Great pics all the same,are there many more Manitowoc crawlers that use hyd rams on the A frame?
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.

I was talking to someone who worked at a power plant and they wouldn't let the company use a 777 because it was too risky with the hydraulics

I would think the 777 has to have a way to keep the cylinders from moving in the event of hydraulic failure. I would think check valves would stop it if the pressure drop below a set value.
I would be more concerned with the cable as that is usually one strung on all the shives and fastened to an end point.
If the cable ever broke the boom would come screaming down with no warning whereas the hydros on the 777 would at least drop it more slowly as they "bleed off".
Oh, nice pics Jason, that is one sick bucket too!!!

Very nice! See, when one door closes, another one opens. And I agree, a 1:50th 14000 would be great! Looking forward to more shots! - Chris

I see a lot of bridge contractors with the Manitowoc 777. They must like the hydraulics for some reason. TFS
