American crawler crane - any idea on model number?

[Gavin Phillips]

Finally got to see this crane in action, moving dismantled parts of a 60ton capacity hammerhead crane onto a Mammoet so it can be loaded onto the floating dry dock for transport to India. However...any ideas what model number of American crane this could be? American as of 1998 is now owned by Terex; so I've tried emailing their contact address but I have no idea if I'll get a reply or not. Any takers?

Well according to another forum it could well be an 11320, 450ton (max) capacity crane with SkyHorse boom assembly.

No idea on the year of the machine, or anything else really. The shipping company who owns it do not answer letters or emails and American cranes & hoists was bought up by Terex in 98 so they effectively don't exist anymore.

It certainly has the right features for an 11320 including the odd wheeled trolley contraption which holds the counter weights, from a Google search not all American crawler cranes use this design.

The model is an 11250 which was brought in from Scandinavia by Bharati who brought the crane via my father. He was also involved with assisting Bharati to dismantle Swan Hunters and move it to India for reassembly.
