It's good to see this crane in action, though unfortunately it is no longer able to travel under its own power due to damage to its travel gear after it ran over some diesel loco parts.

It is believed that the crane has been fitted with a computer. Mick says that sister crane ADRC96719 was fitted with a Microguard computer with shaft encoders and load cells.

The jib to be seen in the background is on a Ruston Bucyrus 22RB used for loading coal.
