Brandnew Demag AC 700 from Sarens is lifting some concrete beams for a new highway overpass. Weight is 65 tons. Transport is done by (also brandnew) Mercedes Actros 4160 from Van der Meijden.

Only five of these units were ever made. As fas as I know, two are working now in Mississippi, as a ringer crane mounted on a barge.

I know, i know! haha

There are some US Trucks in Holland, but more used as a show truck, not for 'the heavy work'. :cool:

I think it is nice for you to see the diffrence between overseas trucks and cranes, I also enjoy the American pictures because it is new and diffrent for me!
