[cranedude07]

Yes I do, I have 2 videos of it. I don't know if they let you in there to get pics and videos or not. I got the videos and pictures at the open house they had in September. They told me I couldn't post the videos until the first of the year though.

Now I see it ..this crane isn't a new idea or new technology ..the principal is borrowed from the Kroll K10,000

It does the same thing with the counter weight in principal

I have finally had the chance to stop by here and say Hi to everyone.
In answering the question on the status of "Baby"?
These are from yesterday.
During the day, she's waving her FAA obstruction flag on top.
At night, she's flashing her FAA Red obstruction LED lamp...
Looks pretty kewl at night from around the City.
Have a great day everyone.

Nice looking machine! Interesting undercarriage, looks like a similar bottom to a big stripping shovel.
