Another Howdy from Nor-Cal
Gentleman,
I am very pleased to find this forum, The level of craftsmanship here is keeping speechless, I have been a Crane Rigger for 17yrs Here in Ca working the entire state for http://www.sheedycrane.com/ , Back in 2008 I feel while erecting a Boom section on a Liebherr 1400, I went 32" straight on my back and havent worked since. I miss my work VERY much and Thanks to you Guys, I can now bring alittle piece of my work home with me. I am now collecting material for my Fist 30 Ton fiction rig. Here's a pic. It was designed by a Iron worker to help aid in Dismantling Tower Cranes from Tall sky scraper's , But after awhile it proved to be more valuable then expected and became a Member of the fleet of Derick and Stiff leg Derricks in our Inventory. http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...mount30ton.jpg Here is a pic of Us in the final stage's of erecting a Tower Crane in SF, http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...highlights.jpg http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...8x2000_q85.jpg |

I am aiming for 1/10 but Im still in the air on the build. I wanted to go with the roof mount for my first build since it's a Basic design, 3 drums- Hoist-swing-Boom. If anyone needs any Literature on Manitowoc,Liebherr,or Grove Let me know as I have access to prints and load charts. I can even take real close up pics of about anything you can imagine-Drag lines-Mobile-crawler-Tower - Barge, etc |
