Pecco or Peiner luffing crane?

[Cartoondude135]

Remember this? Go to 15:54.

One day, I recalled a critical piece of detail from my childhood: the trolley tower crane I witnessed, it looked like it was displaying the word "COUPAL" on it's turntable base and blue counterweights in addition to it's blue and white paintwork. And sure enough, BOOM! I found it! A Pecco SK 170!

Then, out of blind luck, I found another Pecco crane, which, SPOILER ALERT, is most likely the crane that appeared in Spider-Man 3: a CGI modeled and modified version of the Pecco SN 355.

But yes, that crane you see in Mighty Machines, the first luffing crane, is most likely a Pecco SN 160-16. I can't believe I finally identified the "mystery luffing" tower cranes of my past! These tower cranes are like RELICS to me!

But now, I need help to identify THIS ONE (the crane named Carmen):



With all the information I've gathered so far, I'm 50% convinced it's either a PECCO or PENIER luffing tower crane! I feel so close to victory! What I know about this luffing crane is it sports blue and white paint, has a single hook block on a single leg cable, it's boom is operated by a single cable also. It's counter jib also appears to resemble the counter jibs of most typical trolley tower cranes (note the apex it's connected to).

But yes, Skyhook is most likely a Pecco SN 160-16!

UPDATE

Look at the pics below:


After reviewing the Pecco SN 160-16 manual's parts and pieces, I noticed an intriguing clue: A-frame. That's the name of those steel frame things that sit on the counterjib of the SN 160-16.

Again, the Pecco SN 160-16 is what Skyhook is. But after searching up "non a frame luffing tower crane", I caught a diagram with another interesting and game-changing clue: Cat Head. That's the synonym of apex or tower peak.

So basically, Carmen is some kind of luffing tower crane with the following characteristics: a counterjib attached to the cat head via two rear pendants, a cylindrical load block hook on a single leg cable, and a single boom cable. Blue and white paint on the frame assemblies with what looks like "ELLIS-DON" as it's logo (if "ELLIS-DON" is even a still operating company).



This is Carmen viewed at a different angle.




But yes, with these new clues, it should help cut down our suspects lists and narrow down our search easier.

Ellis-Don is one of the biggest contractors in Canada and does major projects. A simple google search would have found that.
