Crane Chicago Style


I was going through the pictures of Chicago and I found I forgot one set of pictures I intended for a blog.  They had blocked off a street and moved in a huge mobile crane.  I have never seen one so large, yet still on a truck.  They were using it to lift a large air-conditioning unit (built by Carrier) off a semi-truck and onto the top of a building about 40 stories tall.  I will just let the pictures tell the story..........
