  -> The design and operation of cranes is certainly a fascinating topic ;-)
agree  Armorel Young: true, although all the cranes on that website are in fact Gittermastkrane or lattice boom cranes

agree  Sybille Brückner: Genau, sie heißen "Gittermastkrane" im Deutschen. - bedeutet: the booms are made of a framework/lattice structure, in most cases consisting of pipes instead of a solid-wall structure (as e.g. cranes about which I often have to translate texts).
