Heritage bus fair today. Found one of @V8Druid old cranes?! Not quite but have seen him mention the name. Some lovely old buses there and a few passing steam and diesel trains.

Cab very low to the ground but he did say it picks up with air suspension
it's probably on their version of Demag's 'Megatrack' spendies .. hydraulic ... will drop the machine as low as it'll go ... pop his jacks out and down and pick the whole machine weight off the ground, onto the pads - will ride much higher underway, but needs to be built as low as poss. to cater for all the booms etc.
