Is a crawler with main boom and luffer. At the ass end of the crane is what we call a "derrick". It adds a significant amount of counterweight to add capacity

Thank You. . . . is this set up used to reach up and over a longer 'reach' over a normal 'boom' or crane 'arm length'?
Sorry, I don't know the correct terminology . . . . but my Dad and I were curious as to the set up.
At first it looked like 2 cranes crashed into each other. LOL.

Yes
Luffer is used to get higher reach over what the main boom can get.
300' of luffer on a unit like this is close to 700K
Very common in steel erection and port work

Prime Rib is awesome. The leftovers are just as good. French dip is tough to beat. We usually do a Philly cheesesteak the next day.
