Tower Crane Installation

Here are photo's from June 6th of the Manitowoc 18000 installing a tower crane. The mast was installed over night and the rest of the crane was pput together during the day. The part that I mainly wanted to see go on was the boom, and lucky we were able to see that. When we arrivied the A-Frame was just getting bolted in, meaning we missed the lift by only a few minutes. After a long 3 hours of waiting, at 1:00PM the boom was finaly lifted in.

Sadly I have found out that the 18000 is nearing completion at Ground Zero. It has about 1 month left as its leaving in July. It will be sad to see it go.
