These pics were taken by me at the Brooklyn Navy Yard in spring of 1995. My brother and I were out an a road trip with our good friend, "THE CREEPER", who also posts on here from time to time. We hit all the NYC spots that day...Mack Trailer, Gerosa/Marino, Zano, and Davies, along with a few others. This was one of the highlights. I have a boat load of pics of this crane, some better than others. This was a HUGE crane at the time, and seeing it in Brooklyn made it look even bigger. Enjoy...       -John

Thanks for the pics of this rather "rare" beast. No doubt, it would be considered a pretty substantial crane even by today's standards...

I ran into one of the owners of Casey the other day and i asked him about this crane and he mentioned something about there was some issue that this crane was supposedly at Chernobyl in 1986 for the cleanup. i was wondering if anyone knew any more about that or if its true.

A few pics of the CC4800 on rail cars headed to the Brooklyn Navy Yard. http://www.trainweb.org/phillynrhs/RPOTW070701.htmlAccording to Mammoet's website, they still operate CC4800-I, II, & III series machines. http://www.mammoet.com/Default.aspx?tabid=885-John

I don't speak German...but here is a mention of Van Seumeren/Mammoet, Demag CC-4800 and Chernobyl in the same topic on a Bouwmachine Forum. Can anybody on here translate??? http://www.bouwmachineforum.nl/forum/viewtopic.php?f=99&t=3224&start=40-John

John translation is very easy - if you look at the google home page to the right of the search box is "language tools". Use the translate a website bar (don't double up on the http though) and pick your language. Easy. And here is your link courtesy of the google translator: http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bouwmachineforum.nl%2Fforum%2Fviewtopic.php%3Ff%3D99%26t%3D3224%26start%3D40&sl=nl&tl=en&hl=&ie=UTF-8Randal

Randal Thanks, Randall. Kinda feel like a dope cause I didn't realize it was in Dutch, not German. Never used that translate function before. Pretty cool. -John

OT - With your vast knowledge of the history of cranes (especially American) do you have any info on the Manitowoc 6000? I have a few pictures from Jan van Wees and the information from the Manitowoc website. I've seen the picture in "Voyage of Vision" the book written about company history. Info on that model is very scarce to say the least.
And relative to American's products you recent post about the American 1500 crawler crane and the 1400 "Steel Erector" do you have more to share? You have sparked my interest in the 1500 for sure.
Thank you
Randal
