got word from a friend at sterett their 1500 was coming to town. was suppose to set beams tomorrow but got cancelled for some reason, but will probably have a job here mid-late week. told me they were attaching the boom, but i couldnt make it over to the yard as i was accross town at work. but after work, i went by anyway to check her out. they pulled the boom back off about a half hr before i got there Sad

but my buddy said he will text me when they go to the site later in the week.

anyways, I HAVE FINALLY SEEN AN LTM1500 !!!!
not the best photos as she was parked in the back by trees, will get more hopefully up close soon Pray

You should be calling Chuck so that he commissions one Wink

Nice catch Brandon - do we know see a 1500 repaint in your future?

Thanks
I'm really thinking about a repaint, repainting my ltm1200 and 1300 right now, almost finished.
I really like the factory yellow 1500 but it would look good red and white Think

my sterett buddy texted me saying he was setting some big girders saturday night with the 1300. he let me up on the crane to watch him and film the install! there was 4 girders going in but only got 3 in that night, had to wait for traffic to shut down then had couple issues with the 3rd beam, so by the time the 3rd one was set, it was already about 6am, and they had to be done for traffic at 8am. the first 2 girders weighed in at 39,000, and the 3rd was 47,000 including the rigging, which was around 9k. the 4th was the biggest one but i dont know the weight. anyways, heres a few photos and the video

well my op buddy let me up on the overpass while they were setting up the big boy.
i know these are common in the UK but around here, pretty rare. she is a beast! im highly considering repainting mine like this.
it started pouring before they finished setting up so i didnt catch all of it.
anyways enjoy, hope to catch it around again soon

Very nice pictures overall. I really like the beam trailers. Just got a Euro Nooteboom windmill mast trailer. Will eventually remove the supports and use a beam I made over the pivots... Think

well over the weekend, crews assembled a liebherr 420 EC-H tower on pier 5, on the downtown bridge. the 14000 assembled it as high as it could, then they jacked the crane up and added its own sections. it now stands at 313ft! there will be another one on pier 4 once they finally get it going out of the river. they finally set the tub formwork friday which is the base of the pier that barely sits above the water. probably will be another 2 months before the tower arrives. this is the first liebherr tower crane I've ever seen around here, seen 1 every now and then only outta town but anyways, heres some pics i took over the weekend, enjoy!

this was Wednesday, tripping a form/rebar cage column for pier 8

parts arriving

assembling parts on the barge

indiana approach abutment

you can see the ringer setting the tub formwork and the 420 erecting itself

and at final height

wow, its been a while since i last posted on this thread. i quit posting updates on the bridge as it seems there isn't much interest in it
but anyways, got the info of the whereabouts of the big girl, sterett was called to put in this pedestrian bridge. whole span was 173ft i think, split into 2 sections. they used a ltm1300 and the big girl, ltm1500 with super lift. the biggest span weighed in at around 120,000lbs and had to be set at a 92ft radius. the 1500 is a 2001 model so it doesn't have the split Y-guy, but still really cool to see up close. she was pretty much at max capacity at radius, maybe 3-4k to the good, still close. was hoping to watch them tear her down today but they are taking it down tomorrow, so i won't get to see the boom come off. alright, enough jabbering...

this was a 96ft radius
