RR Contractor Super.
After watching the video the lifting capacity that was quoted seemed strange so I checked the specs, The crane rental brochure says 2,535 tons, which comes out to 5,070,000 lbs. not the Fifty Million that is quoted.

Sorry Guys.
I'll have to see why I can't upload
a file, but as of right now, I'm don't have
time to investigate. Talk to everyone later.

I have also read that only two companies have currently purchased the crane, which are bulldog erectors out of south carolina and crane rental group out of florida.

Manufacturing will continue on unit number 2, but there are quiet grumblings that Bulldog may not actually take delivery of their unit. Time will tell. But testing of unit number 1 is continuing along very well. She is currently having crawler work completed out on the 31000 test pad.

Close! When I had the opportunity to sit in the fun seat, there were at least 7 others in the cab. The operators seat and controls "recline" to a perfect 20 degrees...then there was a small fridge, microwave, roomy closet... It could make a decent studio!

WOW! And how many parts to that line. muzy

Needless to say, a lot! Have a peek below. That block assembly weighs a tad over 86,000 pounds. All together the hook and block assembly weigh in at almost 118,500 pounds.

Here are a couple of images of the gal from the end of last week. I can't wait for the luffer testing to begin!

I count 36 parts, with provisions on the block for 8 more parts of line.

Pretty impressive. That is going to take more than a few minutes just to rig the block.

The second manitowoc 31000 is in the crane yard since fri. No name of the new owner on the side of it. Crane rentals is completely taken apart. Never tested with the jib on it

Does anybody know who supplies the test operators for these new cranes? Are they operating engineers? Does manitowoc have thier own operators? Or do manitowocs engineers do the "test operating"?
