That is them. I never worked the production dredging on the Patriot. They did years of it in Grays harbor Wa. I worked construction in the sound and did a stint of dredging in the Duwamish River in Seattle, with a much sportier Mukilteo.

The crane rescue society saves another one from the torch. I was given this 15B so we did a little recovery mission today and got it back to the shop. A

Is that from a big road pitch change?

It was
from going around a really tight corner with the boom in the dolly and hit a tree. The driver was watching the dolly and didn’t realize how far out the side it was sticking and hit a tree

It pays to have a good shop full of equipment and the required fabrication skills. Being a welder by trade has saved me many thousands of dollars over having to hire it out. I'm sure other trades experience pays off too when you have equipment.

Nice job duplicating the pieces.
Not knowing everything going on with them, they seem overly complicated for the what they're doing in the installed photo.

Agree wonder why they could not just be made from rectangular tubing with eyes at the ends? But like Toolslinger says "Not knowing" everything is the key!

I would guess the thicker flat bars instead of tubing would have more tensile(pull apart) strength. They would also be narrower than tubing for that application. Thicker walled tube wouldn't come in a narrow size like that either.

They’re telescopic. Down for travel and up for lifting
