Great Pictures, Gottwald 680 me thinks!

its one of the two demags that sarens have

The tc 3800 then

Nice photos.

We used the same crane to install a new bridge at Taunton in 2005. Prefabricated steel structure weighing approx 280t. I think there were 550t of counterweights on the rear tray with a further 200t on the slew itself.

It took about 3 days to rig and then derig the crane but only 1 hour to do the job!

Nice pics, you're that close you could be the banksman! Wonder how many truck loads it takes to make up that one crane?

Superb shots.

Here's a few more from the same lift. It went like clockwork - Sarens were first class!

I can't remember the exact number of truck loads required to assemble the crane & ballast but it's in the order of 25 I would guess.

Great Pictures Steve, I tried to get abit closer to there lift in kings cross though security wouldn't let me any closer, Talking to the guy,s it was the same there with 1 days rigging for an hours lift.
