How do you get a big, heavy, boom truck onto a golf course? Not just any golf course - the world famous Cog Hill - Dubsdread #4 in Lemont.
Very, very carefully!
(And with a load of heavy plywood!)
Dubsdread, site of the 2009 and 2010 BMW Championship, along with around 150,000 spectators and several well known golfers - hosted several Runnion Equipment boom trucks throughout the seven day event.
Our National Crane 9103A set up and took down the "Jumbotron" which gave spectators instant replay and a close look at the golfers.

Our National 890D off loaded and set up the leaderboard
Our Manitex 30102C hoisted a camera man for TV coverage - 158 feet up.

| Serious guys - these camera men |
A 33 ton National 14110A with a tip height of 120 feet and a 30 ton 1300H with a tip height of 174 feet (with jib), were used as mobile antennas to broadcast the trials and tribulations of the championship golfers around the world.
Remarkably, not a mark was left on the course.
(Can't vouch for the condition of the plywood "tracks")
