Does anyone know how many of these were made, or who owns any available for rent or sale?

So far, the only one I know of is the one on the SEA JACK. For such a massive upgrade in capacity, I wonder why more of these aren't out there?

I know of two one was painted yellow and green went to work in united air of emerits. Their was also a bright orange on built

Bragg crane had M1200ringer. The jumping jack was mammoets and was red and black tell it came crashing down in 2007. It was then bought by a different company and completelly rebuilt. Is in blue and green colors now

LOL.

Thanks for the info guys.

The pictures I've seen include the one in the UAE that RI posted, the few pictures of the green and yellow one, there used to be a great picture of a black and yellow one (Mammoet?), and then the red (now blue) one that was rebuilt on the SEA JACK.

Given the fact that info was sparse, I didn't know if these were all one, two, three? cranes all traded around.

My experience with these "odd" Manitowocs is that there's usually 1 or 2 more than we think. For example, I've learned recently that there was as many as nine 888 ringers built (although I'd never have guessed from now seldom you see that one around). There was also four 6000's built (I believe) but the only ones I know of where the two delivered to Texas (current whereabouts unknown). There was a sighting in Argentina many years ago at a power plant.

Anyways, our company recently acquired a 2250 and we occasionally have jobs come across our desk that would benefit from a BIG hook. I have no idea if all 2250's are M-1200 ready, but the M-1200 is included in the 2250 product guide. Would be awful cool if one of these Ringers was sitting in someone's yard someplace waiting for an engineer crazy enough to recommend using it.

Would like nice in Cianbro colors, too!

UPDATE:

The one on the SEA JACK is the one Mammoet had in Singapore, and likely the one in my picture below. So that leaves one in the UAE?

The black and yellow M1200 Ringer was Bragg Cranes. Your right about the 6000 4 series 1 6000 were built. The first to shipped to brown and Root for offshore oil derrick construction. their was also a 6000 series 2 four of the built

Gentlemen,

To the best of my knowledge Bragg cranes that have been painted in their standard color sceme have their lattice booms painted black. I also to not remember seeing any Bragg cranes with their boom sections ends painted the alternate color. On the cranes pictured above, this color does not look black to me, it looks more gray. These two (2) features indicate to me that these two (2) cranes are Mammoet cranes. There was a period in Mammoet's history, when they were owned by a shipping company, their paint scheme was yellow and gray.

Alberici owns one that is in St. Louis on the river. Their subsidiary, Hillsdale Fabricators, actually uses it in their barge yard to load large fabrications. I can't find my photos, but Google Earth shows it still there.

Heres Braggs some reason wont let me flip it sorry guys

Neat info trk4100!

Where is it on the river? I found Hillsdale's yard on Google Earth and it looks like there are definitely M-1200 parts (including the base crane) stacked up in the northwest corner of their yard. I went up and down the river and couldn't find one put together. Found a whole bunch of other cranes...

Ben,

Cool picture!! Where did you find it?
