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!
