   Here are three pictures I recently found of the American 11320. They are the only ones I have seen that reveal this much detail of the inner workings. I discovered these after building this section of my 11320 model. In learning more about this machine I have noticed two different cab set ups. On the right front corner at the base of the deck there is a horn like structure that protrudes forward and a square "socket" very near the horn. These details lead me to believe that this model must have had the elevated cab. I have seen other pics that don't show these two details and the cab was built into the main structure of the crane with a slightly protruding window on the right side of the crane cab. Can anyone add any information on this?

Those are the only pictures I have seen. I did email the company to see if there were any other pictures available but I haven't heard anything yet. I will keep you posted.

JoeE,
Thank you for sharing these. Do you have any more that you could share? I would love to see a few pics or the counterweight and how it fits up to the deck. I think I have a basic understanding but it would be great to verify what I am thinking.

I am not able to view the three images in the original post.
Please re-post/re-format as I am very interested in this machine.
Thanks.

 I have taken another crack in CAD with the 11320 based off the new pictures. This drawing is of the bare deck for the most part. If there are flaws in this as you would see it please point them out. Thanks

Many years ago (80s, maybe 70s) I came across an American brochure describing the 11320. Their in-house folks had built a REALLY nice scale model of the crane showing the basic construction, how it broke apart for travel and other details. That was where my initial interest in scale model cranage started - though there were very few diecast or brass models available at the time. It is still a darned impressive piece of machinery...

Do you have any photo's of that model? Those would be impressive!

No, I think you got me - must've been the 10320. Nice to see that cut sheet from so many years ago.

Photos courtesy of Johnny Van Der Zee.These are photos he provided of the 1:16 working model of the American 11320 Super Sky Horse. This model was one of the ones displayed by American at shows in the 1980's.    He notes that it was powered by 8 110 Volt Electric Motors. It has 4 travel motors, 1 swing motor, 2 winch drum motors, and 1 motor to turn the wheels on the weight tray. Also, some photos he provided of the 11320 at the American stand at Conexpo 85'
