Does anyone know how many of these were made, or who owns any available for rent or sale?
So far, the only one I know of is the one on the SEA JACK. For such a massive upgrade in capacity, I wonder why more of these aren't out there?

Mammoet had one..at least... I have some pics here, but It might be the same one thats mounted on the "Sea Jack" also. I know it was in the old Mammoet green/yellow colors... years ago now. They used it quite a lot... seems that they still own one in Red&Black now... I'll see if I can find out more.

I think the main reason why not many were built was because their not really that mobile of a ring. They are very impressive. actaully are based off of the M250. The only think most noticable of the M1200 is the gantry of the M250 otherwise it is really hard to tell its even based off of a M250. Their was a Yellow and green one built did a big lift in United Air of Emiritts. then another bright orange one in color that i know of and saw pictures of.

Thanks for the info guys. The pictures I've seen include the one in the UAE that RI posted, the few pictures of the green and yellow one, there used to be a great picture of a black and yellow one (Mammoet?), and then the red (now blue) one that was rebuilt on the SEA JACK. Given the fact that info was sparse, I didn't know if these were all one, two, three? cranes all traded around. My experience with these "odd" Manitowocs is that there's usually 1 or 2 more than we think. For example, I've learned recently that there was as many as nine 888 ringers built (although I'd never have guessed from now seldom you see that one around). There was also four 6000's built (I believe) but the only ones I know of where the two delivered to Texas (current whereabouts unknown). There was a sighting in Argentina many years ago at a power plant. Anyways, our company recently acquired a 2250 and we occasionally have jobs come across our desk that would benefit from a BIG hook. I have no idea if all 2250's are M-1200 ready, but the M-1200 is included in the 2250 product guide. Would be awful cool if one of these Ringers was sitting in someone's yard someplace waiting for an engineer crazy enough to recommend using it. Would like nice in Cianbro colors, too! UPDATE: The one on the SEA JACK is the one Mammoet had in Singapore, and likely the one in my picture below. So that leaves one in the UAE? http://www.cranestodaymagazine.com/news/mammoet-scraps-flotation-plans-and-expands-joint-ventures/

Gentlemen, To the best of my knowledge Bragg cranes that have been painted in their standard color sceme have their lattice booms painted black. I also to not remember seeing any Bragg cranes with their boom sections ends painted the alternate color. On the cranes pictured above, this color does not look black to me, it looks more gray. These two (2) features indicate to me that these two (2) cranes are Mammoet cranes. There was a period in Mammoet's history, when they were owned by a shipping company, their paint scheme was yellow and gray. Randy M. Smolenack RMSmodels@aol.comrandy.m.smolenack@us.army.mil

Not Braggs M-12.. the boom was black and its the wrong yellow, bragg was more of an orange-ish yellow back then, and I mean BACK THEN....

Alberici owns one that is in St. Louis on the river. Their subsidiary, Hillsdale Fabricators, actually uses it in their barge yard to load large fabrications. I can't find my photos, but Google Earth shows it still there.

Neat info trk4100!
Where is it on the river? I found Hillsdale's yard on Google Earth and it looks like there are definitely M-1200 parts (including the base crane) stacked up in the northwest corner of their yard. I went up and down the river and couldn't find one put together. Found a whole bunch of other cranes...
Ben,
Cool picture!! Where did you find it?

This is Alberici's St. Louis yard from Google Earth. Note the 2250 base crane, the ring sections, crawler side beams, ring pads, counterweight tray, heavy boom sections, auxiliary hoist, and associated framework. Also, I assume the boxes in the upper center are counterweights? They look hollow to me. Were they intended to be filled with concrete on-site and then emptied for trucking?
