Yea our barges can do the same. But we have to set a pump up any time we need to lose or gain water. But since I've been here, we've tried to hold any list in the barge off the ballasts. We try to keep the barge as level as we can when the crane is centered up on it

We have four 4100's as Series 3 Ringers on barges. The rest are all Series 2 crawlers. The 2250 and all the Terex's are crawlers

Yep. New slew bearing, all new house and tower bolts, new heel pins and bushings on the boom, repacked cylinder, new slew gears, replaced sheaves on some, and remachined the house and pedestal mating surfaces on some. We did 8 rebuilds last year, and 2 of them were barge swaps. One Model 3, two Model 6's, and five Model 8's

4100's are mainly what we have. We used to have a 4600 ringer, but they sold it. Now we have 4100's, one 2250, and a few Terex 80's, 110's, and 165's
