I saw this being advertised years ago when I was looking at a construction magazine I saw in a highway engineer's office. I believe the magazine was Road Builder.

Its either Grove or Linkbelt but I believe there will be a 150ton RT displayed at ConExpo in a couple weeks.
Edit: Yep the RT9150E, the largest production rough-terrain crane in the world. It has a 150 USt capacity and a 197 ft main boom Will be at ConExpo.

I believe there were 4 of the 1650's made I know a couple went into the coal regions of West Virginia and Pennsylvania, I've been told they are still operating. As far as the 9150 all took delivery of the first one last march is memory serves. It went to the power plant in Michigan where the 21000 and ringer were working.

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.

I had not seen this thread before.
In the early 1980's I worked at the US Department of Energy's Savannah River Plant in South Carolina. We had a Grove 150 ton RT. I was told there were only 2 or three made and we had the only one in the US. From what I remember, I don't think it was the exact same as the RT1650. The one we had had much larger wheels (close to 9-10 ft in dia if I remember right) and it did not have the cab that could raise to see over the boom. When it was driven on the highways of the 310 square mile facility, (high speed was 6-8 mph) it had to stop and raise its boom at intersections to see if the other road is clear (if it was not being escorted) It was the largest piece of equiment I had ever seen!
