Got up close to it today, very impressive crane. Tracks are coming off next, but sadly I will not be able to catch it Confused





















Its a bummer that TWH didn't make the body jacks functional on the model 16000 Confused

Thanks Luis. I got lucky to find this one so close to me, there are two 16000's in the state of Maine and both of them are owned by Reed & Reed, usually they are far up north setting up wind turbines so I never get to see them. Hopefully you will see more larger cranes in the future.

You forgot the best looking 16000 in Maine! d'oh!



But yes, Reed and Reed have 2, although I'm not sure if they have a Maxer or luffers for them... We got ours with everything!

Opp's, completely forgot about Cianbro d'oh! Funny how it says on Reed & Reed's website that they are the only New England based contractor to own a 16000 Think

That Cianbro 16000 looks incredible, love the colors! Really cool that yours comes with everything!

A model of that Cianbro 16000 would be awesome.

Jim, does Cianbro repaint the machines/cranes them selves or do they order them from the factory like that?
