Back in the late 1960s I drove lorry mounted cranes in London UK. sadly hydraulic jibbed cranes were only just invented and the depot I worked from only had one. Mine was a 7ton Allen Grove fitted with a strut jib that when unfolded made up a standard 30ft jib, one job I did needed a 60ft jib but was in a Royal park. To lift the jib and not damage any of the old trees, I had to lift 5ft reverse back and repeat this until the the jib as at the correct angle. This took ages jumping from the crane cab to the truck cab, only to carry out a single lift of three tubes welded in a triangle to make a flag pole, this took 20 mins to complete and then the jib lowering and pull forward operation all over again. The flag pole was for the Russian Embassy. Another crane I drove was a Ruston Bucyrus tower crane mounted on crawler tracks. It came to site completely folded up and bogie wheels attached that made it an articulated trailer. Once onsite the outriggers lifted the base up and the road wheels were removed. Rams lifted the main tower to upright. Rigging cables were used to lift the boom to the outright position and fixed position cable connected. The tower had a second tower section with the first section, using the hoist cable this could be raised to double the height. A build up or fold down would take 3 or 4 hours, which was way quicker than the dismantle method and only a tractor unit was needed to pull the crane to the next job site. Great to see how crane have developed since then and what a great background to film in. Many thanks for posting.

Very nice operation. Here in Toronto area, these knucklebooms are just coming into their own. Our company has 4 big ones, biggest being a 200tm. They're absolutely amazing for working in the city in restricted areas, under and around trees, between wires and narrow laneways. I've had one set up from the street going low under the wires, up the hill to the house, over the front steps and 12 feet (3.5m) through the front door into the house with a steel beam for a reno. We move those swimspas daily, setup in the driveway, pickup over the nose and swing around over the house and into the backyard. In and out in an hour, usually.

This is going to be a very expensive hot tub. 2 trucks and 4 guys. Call a 45 ton Liebherr that has his own large outrigger pads with him and he would have done this in less then 1 hour, 1 man. No wonder why Norway is expensive, and i thought Iceland was expensive. Also turn the truck around, use the front outrigger, then more of the trucks weight is behind him and you don´t have to lift as far...
