I've added the Strategic on 4th crane, I can't believe it!

29 eh, during a "downturn"? Not bad.

What did we establish as the previous record? 46?

Hmm, I can't remember. I thought we were closer to 70-80 cranes during the boom.

Definately in the mid 60's at least.

It was in the 80s, I'm quite certain.

Does Frink still float around? He erased the 1st page of the old thread that had a note with the record on it. Would be nice to have that stat on the front page of this thread too.

I remember it being in the 70's at the peak of the last boom. Don't believe it hit the 80 mark, but could be wrong.

kap384 · #**208** Posted **Dec 23, 2011, 11:51 PM**

72 comes to mind

You Need A Thneed · #**209** Posted **Dec 24, 2011, 12:34 AM**

Looking back at the original cranes thread, it appears that the max was 75.

Jimby · #**210** Posted **Dec 24, 2011, 12:59 AM**

75, August 2008. What has been the lowest since then? 25?

kap384 · #**211** Posted **Dec 28, 2011, 1:01 AM**

Bigtime, mind putting that record on the front page for posterity?

Thanks

Even though I'm on holidays I will go out of my way and do that for you!

Jimby · #**213** Posted **Jan 15, 2012, 8:14 PM**

The Luna crane came down yesterday, and there is a new crane on Barlow north of the Golder building.

Thanks Bigtime!!

Bigtime · #**215** Posted **Jan 16, 2012, 2:54 PM**

Can we confirm if the Barlow crane is for the existing Stantec building? If so I will update the info on it on the first page.

We are now at 30 cranes!

Jimby · #**216** Posted **Jan 22, 2012, 4:28 AM**

Is this a tower crane? This crane has been at a house u/c on 27 Ave west of 20 St SW for months.

yeah its a tower crane, its known as a city crane. it is small with very little lifting capacity. its sort of one step up from a self erect crane

Thanks for the info, so we should add it to the list?

I do believe it meets the criteria, operated from a cab at the top, non-mobile, etc.

I'm sure Bigtime will get it up when he gets back from Maui

I'm sure his wife is hoping it's before the trip ends

Sorry, did I just say that!
