Riverside, filed for bankruptcy, following a crane collapse in New York. Anyone know where this crane was prior to coming to Chicago?

I think Lomma survived that as I know lots of there cranes are/were used on Hudson Yards. As for this crane, it looks to be from Federated Crane.
While this crane looks to have a new paint job on the body there are pieces (counterweights/mast) of the crane that is the exact same (or close) shade of blue as the cranes that worked on 30 Hudson Yards. Although those cranes were from NY Tower Crane which I think is a part of Lomma.
