This pic is from Con Expo 2008. Listening to some of Jakes employees, they said it was several machines made into this rig. Maybe someone else can knows something of this monster.

This is the one and only TransWorld SL400. It is a 400 ton lattice truck crane designed to be road legal in most states. The individual that led its design was the former head of logistics and mobility engineering for American Hoist. There is a design similarity to the final single engine 125 ton American truck crane.
The fabrication of the machine is a mixed bag. Jake's takes credit though Cornell in New Jersey was also apparently involved. The machine was sold to Cornell and then leased and later sold to a northeast utility. When the untility sold it used, it returned to Jake's. It was refurbished about the time it returned to Jake's.
I, somewhere in my archives, have the sales specifications and charts for this crane.
