Great pics!!

How much is there to maintaining them once they are operational?

More than you'd think, especially if the gearbox decides to let go right after the warranty period ends.

awesome pics im curious as well if those came from DMI. I fit up the cans and weld em together to make up the seperate sections of the towers.

Sounds like my kind of job.

Ah A Telehandler with an enclosed cab. Now that just takes all the fun out of running one of those beasts. Nothing like sitting there having the diesel exhaust blowing back on you to brighten you day.

Cool pics. I drive by the NW Crane yard in OKC almost every day. The crane on that sight is impressive even without the full boom attached. Definitely not in the same ball park as the mobile cranes you see running down I40.

I know all about using fork lifts without an enclosed cab. This was 2 years ago on a wind farm near Albany, Texas.

back before I got hurt .I took some hub's from GE to a farm up in Canada . it was a huge farm on the great lakes .. damn bears would come in the site at night and eat food left by the workers.
