This weekend was the culmination of months of planning at 32 W 48th Street. Best Part: the job required to use 209ft main boom and 276ft luffer in a Liebherr Mobile and Crawler Cranes LTM1650-8.1,with 319,000lbs ctwt on 3/4 extended outriggers. Max pick was 21,000lbs @ 160ft as well as 10,000lbs @ 212ft radius! The photos show the challenges of fitting such a large crane and configuration in a city street. Howard I.
