I'm pretty sure this is an American 11320, but not 100%. Photo's taken in Ramsey, NJ, in 2004.

Thanks for these wonderfull pic's
Not often seen a 1100 serie with a tower configuration
But i am pretty sure it's an 11250 but also not 100%

I know that Cornell had both 11320s and 11250s. Could be either one. I am NO American expert.

This was taken at the Ramsey parking deck for NJT on Rt. 17 next to Ramsey Building supply. I got to watch it a couple of times while I was picking stuff up at Ramsey. Sounded excellent and it was big. The photo's don't do the crane justice on just how large it really was.

James is right...the pics don't do the crane any justice. I was delivering a machine to Mahway one morning at first light, and when I came into Ramsey and saw it sitting there, I almost wrecked the truck. She's a rare bird around here, especially in 2004. I went back a few days later on my way to Upstate NY and stopped in to get what pics I could.

Nice pics John.
I remember Cornell's 11250 got put together on the 129 job in Trenton. I think it was for Belezza. It was only there a short time and I think Reid took over and brought in some Manitowocs. I remember that 11250 looked like it was brand new. That was probably around 1994.

That's funny, were looking at getting one for a job we have in Sitka. Either that or a 4600. We just picked up another 9310.

I had steel unloaded by Cornell at the Showboat Casino in Atlantic City on several occasions & I thought there cranes were red with Cornell printed in large letters.
It was 25-30 years ago & I might be wrong. Bob

Larry,

We had 3 customer at least who had 518s, but just about all my pics of them they were being moved on the trailer. JH Reid had one, now it belongs to South State in Bridgeton, NJ. Schiavone had one in Newark, NJ, and I seem to remember United in Kenilworth having one, though it may have been a 418.

We just moved South State's 518 to southern NJ for repairs. It should be working the NJ Turnpike expansion come spring.
