I worked all my life behind a desk staring at a computer screen. Had a good job. I loved it. But I got to say, watching these dudes dance around these behemoths is very entertaining. Awesome video.
There is a crane company in Maryland named Grubb!They have some really nice rigs!Writing this in January 2021!Stay safe people and God bless America!
I would think an I-Beam trailer would have been a better choice for a move of that size. Please feel free to correct me. We had a 54-B Bucyrus Erie Dragline we moved with an I-Beam Trailer. As a matter of fact, it was. pulled with an old Sterling Mack chain driven tractor back in 1969. Power, you bet. Anyway, I-Beam or flatbed. Your thoughts, please. Your crane is a lot bigger. Thanks.
As of Friday there's still over 75 pieces of heavy equipment still here at the off site storage location. They get a 1 month grace period after the show is over to get the equipment without a storage fee's and I think they even gave them another month because of covid 19 but the storage fee's are starting to really rack up on them and they won't release them until there paid in full. There has never been equipment still here like this before
In answer to sus sus, Grove Crane is a part of Manitowoc Corp., and usually seen are the multi- axle tired machines like the Demag's. Grove Cranes are made in Shady Grove, Pennsylvania U.S.A. William Barnh, yes at one time there used to be a lot of beam trailers for the cranes pulled by the old chain drives like Sterling, only the cranes have gotten bigger in size and more maneuvera- bility is needed on the trailer for turn- ing. Many of the crane rental and rigging company's used to have the custom built truck's (prime movers) made by Autocar, Cline,Hendrickson, Mack, to name a few. Some were custom fabricated in their own shops.I remember fondly as a young man, the McHugh Brother's from PA. and Hoff- man equipment from Piscataway, N.J. They both had some big prime movers.
