The V is the Luffer he is referring to.Cant say Ive ever seen a V-shaped crane before, Brian. That must be interesting to run.

Yep Tom the Luffer "V part in this case" is added length of boom that we can add to the main hydro boom to further increase our radius and capacity. It's lighter than normal crane boom which helps at max radius situations. A 10' piece of steel pipe is heavy, but if that 10' was half the size, it's lighter and just as strong. We can add up to 250' of luffer to this crane. With everything in it, it has right at 350,000 lbs of counterweight. It's a big gal.
Brian is that the old GMK7550? No megawing for even cooler photos?

Thanks for the explanation, guys. All I know is it looks like a damn big piece of machinery.
I just drive around a 5 ton truck and act like an elf all day. :roflmao:
Yeah it's the serial number 1 for the first gmk7550 in the country, and Arizona's largest hydro crane. I got a couple mega wing pics I'll throw up.
upload multiple pictures
It's a zoo with the amount of trucks we need to get that crane moved in, but we have great dispatch and planning ahead of time for up to 20 semis of parts.

Today I saw a two-headed calf at my large-animal vet. She was still-born, unfortunately. No, no pics. Sorry.
Were Mulder and Scully there?
