  it appears that there may be more "driving on planks" rather than lifting !

• Fred Dean Snr. said:

  The crane is a Taylor & Hubbard vertical boiler steam crane. Running on the rails.

  I think believe this to be Rohr San Diego Prestressed Concrete. These appear to be the prefabricated concrete columns for the Pearlridge monorail in Hawaii. The logo on the tractor cab door says, "SDPC."
  
  The flatbed trailer says, "Matson" and "intermodal system," suggesting it may be going on a ship.
  
  Truckers call flatbed trailers, "skateboards," because they look sort of like a skateboard.

  The crane boom has markings that show maximum height. This is cool.
