Thanks! I started off out there on an 8060 Link Belt RT [60 ton] then they put in a much smaller 30 ton Terex RT [in most of the glass setting shots] to get into some tighter spots. I usually run electric hammerhead climbing tower cranes or large crawlers with luffers, towers or heavy lift attachments. I also drive trucks to haul the rigs in and out as well, which is what I did Friday. If you go farther back into the photobucket album pages you'll see the stuff that I usually run. The pickers are only when filling in for someone or when I'm in between long term projects.

Had a job for the 200 ton hydro last week . Only drawback was the 3:00 am start . The business we were setting HVAC equipment on the roof for wanted the parking lot clear before 8:00 am . Minor boss said "I'm going to hunt a light plant" . Big boss said No , that parking lot has plenty of lighting .

So a couple of pics with the camera set for low lighting and one pic with the camera set normal and with a flash .

Here's my current project at the Cape Canaveral AF Station. I'm building and installing blast doors in the 4 high bays of a special build. It's a tight job and with many clearance challenges to over come. I'm running one of our 999's and working inside the structure each day. I love that! A great crew and customer too! http://s1029.photobucket.com/albums...on=view&current=video-2012-02-06-12-20-48.mp4

Awesome video Gostr8tr! That's a pretty cool project your working on! You don't have an oiler to polish that thing up for you? You sure got it lookin pretty though! What's your tip and hook clearance when setting that top door section?
