This picture I captured a few weeks ago when the fog was extreme. I love the fog in this picture, and others too, because it just gives it a cool look and focuses the attention on the foreground. Here you can see a Komatsu PC228 working on the local expressway, also is Cranes INC's Liebherr LTR1100 crawling in the background.

In late 2011 I seen that Mayrich was doing a job on 57th st and Park Ave in Manhattan, so we took a ride past and seen that both of their Hitachi 850's were there. I would have gotten pictures/video of the 850's loading the trucks in the foundation, but as you can see in the video, the site was boarded up to the point where it wasn't even worth trying to take shots from the street, more than any other site I've seen, and more than the WTC site!..Later in the summer of 2012, we noticed that they had dug out most of the foundation and that meant that they would have to either get a crane to remove the dirt or, well get a 2 piece boom Hitachi 800! haha. This was an impressive machine to watch work for sure, especially right on the street like it was. You can view pictures of this machine in the Hitachi gallery. I took a trip to Cranes INC.'s maspeth yard to snap some shots of the new Liebherr LTR1220 they recently just received, which is/was the first one to arrive in the United States, but was damaged at the port and the delivery was delayed, and within that time another company had taken delivery of one..I had to get a vertical shot of the LTR showing the other cranes in the background, so they were kind enough to move it wherever was best for us to get the shot. (Continued below picture) ..I can't get enough of how wide this crane is, pictures don't do it justice! I got some pictures of the other cranes in the yard, including their LTM1500, LTM1350 and a lot of others, which I will post later..On the ride there, we have to take the BQE in order to get to Cranes INC, and if you are from around here you know that there is a ton of truck traffic on there, and with it being winter with all the trucks hauling salt, I seen a ton of awesome trucks along the way. I'll get a gallery of all the pictures uploaded (159 pictures).
As you may have seen from my other blog posts, the company who is working on the highway/expressway near me, uses an assortment of older equipment, including this Cat 225, which looks to be in great condition considering it's age. The 225 was in production in the United States from 1972 until 1987, and was replaced by the 225B. |
