Nice find Jason!!
WOW, that's a lot of bend for just a bucket of stone!!!!!
Of course given the lift angle, the jib weight and such it must be nominal (well according to some)!!

I'm a kid at heart, so I will play with any model construction vehicle from 1:87 scale to 1:1 scale!!!!
Age is a state of time NOT a state of mind!!

Sry for posting when i dont have pictures about my story. But i was on a grove gmk 3050 crane as a trainee (or what its called) once  And it was lifting a personel container above some powerlines and into a garden.  Most crazy ive have seen, i was sure the crane was gonna break :D the boom looked like a bow.

Only small pictures sorry but this is a LTM1150 on fly....and only on a 62m main boom...not the full 66m    Bare in mind that this was with NO load, just the weight of the fly and hook block, could only lift a bag of sugar mind you!!!! lol

Here is also a bit deflection on one of Kynningsrud's 1220. Nothing compared to what Gaz posted though.

I must ask something though. Most mobile cranes these days are built to tip before the boom snaps I guess? I was thinking about if you have full counterweight and full telescopic boom + full fly jib. That's going to be some deflection...

And here's a little inside scope for you, this is the view the operator of a TC2800 is looking at when he is lifting 138m of main boom of the deck, the boom head raised 7m in the air before the middle of the boom even started to pick up!!!! Look at the end of the boom!!!!!!!!  Yes i know its a Demag, but look at the BEND!!!!!  Gaz

That is why some lattice cranes have mid-point pendant lines. An example is the old P&H 9125.
