Some great information there Gaz, we'll have to sort out a weekly 'crane class with gaz' via webcam or something.. we'd all be experts by the time the classes are over!

Sat in the operators cab of Cussens LTM 1300 a few years ago and that is about as close as I have ever been

Cos of all the kind words have some more pictures.....keep looking at them boom lengths people LTM1030/1.....this is NOT a pinned boom.....tele's on a pully system and all 3 section extend at the same time.  LTM1055 3.1  Cranes lifting cranes! replacing a slew ring on a AC40  Not mine, another LTM1150 6.1  LTM1055 3.1 & LTM1040 2.1  LTM1200 5.1, bet you can't help but look at the tele sections on this one! lol  LTM1080/1 putting a crawler together. I did this almost 3 years ago and it is sitting on the very spot the olympic stadium is now on.  Not 1, not 2 but 3 LTM1500's....and a LTM1095 5.1  Thats enough for now folks.....more soon. In the mean time have a very merry Christmas. Gaz

Gaz To be honest, I am not sure. There are only 2 positions for it to be pinned, but whether this is 50 and 100 or 46 and 92, or 50 and 92 I don't know. But certainly there is not 3. But on a completely different note, you have reminded me that I have to paint some black on the FB 112's TY to match the 1:1 version Paul R 1200 has only 2 pinning% 50 and 100 liebherr reckon if they had 46,92 and 100 it would create too many load charts

It has 4 rigger positions and 12 ballast configurations. 360degree, 60% and 10% over the back on each different rig, this makes the load chart book huge! like 3000 pages or so! Gaz

There is a duty on the LTM1070 that if I remember correctly is something like 92%, 92%, 0%, 46% and 46%. It didn,t look right and I asked the operator that was rigging my luffer if one of his sections had stuck in!!! He said it was his best duty for what he was doing! :d/

How's Crookie getting fella? those pictures of the 500 on luffer I poster earlier while trying to explain the pinning was his crane. Gaz

Well its time to dust of this topic and start posting again. Here's the story....I'm back with Ainscough after a brief stint at Sarens. Nothing against Sarens at all, they were good to work for and certainly did not do anything that justifies bad mouthing them, exactly the oposite. I just got given a opportunity back at Ainscough I could not turn down. I'm now at Ainscough Heavy cranes and straight into the the mad day to day insanity that I enjoyed last time I worked here. Busy busy with the promise of busier times ahead so lets see what my camera will be pointing at future. For now here are some shots from my 1st week. 1st week was a induction on the luffer for the LTM1500  Done the small luffer (above) and the long (below)  CC2500 was being loaded in the yard today.   Yard is a busy place, 28 is there waiting for its next job, and there are always machines dropping in and out....LR1300 is rigged as a yard crane at the mo! bit of overkill but does the job.   So, I'm back with Ainscough and plenty more pictures to come Gaz

Just passed an Ainscough LTM1500 on M50 heading north,any info on what she's up to over here? couple of boom sections removed,lets hope the pikeys didn't have them out while she passed through Tallaght  
Why is "phonetically" spelt with a "ph"? ... It's better to be silent and thought a fool, then to speak up and remove all doubt 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.
