Not crane as such but they've been involved...I think it's about to get lifted into place over the M42...any reason why they've rigged it so high up? Some temp cribbing 🧐

Literally sat up there. Quite a way from its final spot.🤔

I would take a fair guess that they will drive a set of hydraulic bogies underneath and drive it into place rather than lift it. They did it with the huge bridge in Gatwick airport. Was built a mile or so away and they drove it into place

Had a fresh 250 ton Demag on the job I’m on yesterday putting up the tower crane, all up in the day, tested and ready for work this afternoon. I wasn’t staying late to see the jib put on, spent enough bloody hours here last week getting openings down through the basement slabs to get the crane in 😂

Looks like a Potain MDT tower crane going up there being red it could be an ex Kiers one, The tower crane division was sold of a while back I think HTC in Sheffield acquired a few of their cranes. Like to see a few more pics once the jib is fitted.

It’s a brand new Saez, I’ll get some photos tomorrow. Think I’m right in saying tls65 10 ton max capacity

What man as done, man can do, what never has,maybe
View attachment 42645Is this why Druid has been quiet for the last few days, has he been busy out on his patch building this?

Mog’s not so much of a bike man so I’m guessing not guilty on this occasion. 😀😀😀
I’ve had a few, my last one Z1300 I sold and bought my first machine😳 thought I’d be safer on a 3cx doing 20 MPH than 130😳😂😂

but your right not my work, mine would of had a bigger crane😂😂💪
