Hello Mick,
The photo is of how it was before overhaul and modification. The modification retains the original 2 section 60 t SWL boom, but gives the option of an interchangeable 3 section 20 t SWL rated for use fully extended horizontally giving the ability to lift 20 t at 13 m measured off the short end headstock. This work is currently in progress.
Perhaps of interest, the NZ version of the UK 75 tonners was downrated to 60 t mainly for reasons of stabiliser capacity, the slewing works being identical to the UK cranes. There remains the option to upgrade to 75 t capacity should the need arise.
More photos to come once it looks more like a crane and less like a dismantled shell.
