Lots of tires..what does it cost daily to hire a rig like this ?

[Scott 730]

Many thousands of dollars per hour.

Not something you hire to put up your new TV antenna.

Crane rental plus at least several loads of counterweights, possibly mats and such for under the outriggers and the set up crew. It could easily ruin $30,000 or more.

A past employer of mine bought a 1000 ton lattice boom crawler. It took over 75 truck loads to haul it from the shipping port to the lay down yard where they stored it.
Owner had to show a years worth of pre set rental contracts before the bank would lend him the money to buy it. In fact he had to rent a crane to do the first job from a competitor because he had a contract and his new crane was still in transit from across the pond.

It looks like a 700 ton Liebherr. The daily rental probably isn't as much as you think, not counting the oiler and at least one operator.

In Philadelphia, a 500t is probably about 60k for one 8 hr day. Not including road closures. This price would include the permits, transportation, one operator, one oiler, lift plan (without PE stamp) and about 6 trailers of cribbing and weights. Whoever is renting provides most of the labor to assemble. This price would not include any kind of jib. I would guess the actual crane rental is about 5k a day.

That 700t setting up for turbine blades? Probably $150k for 5 days.

Interesting that it has a cradle for the boom up near the cab. Wonder why they used the trailer/dolly instead?

Axel weight limit for the DOT. We call it a dolly.

Mr. Musk rents it to put the star on top of his Xmas tree.

weight, you can only have so much weight per axle boom is very heavy too much weight to be used over the road

Only because the State DOT limits weight per axle. They can move that crane with the suspension locked, the boom retracted and locked, and with weights hanging. Obviously there are limits to movement.

Wind farm work used install blades & base

Rented one like it a couple months ago. $15,000 in and assembled, 1,000 per hour (8 hour minimum), $15,000 to break down and haul away. So a 8 hour day is going to cost you $38,000.

What you don't see is the 7 tractor/trailer loads of counterweight that go along with the crane.

That's a 500 ton, it has 7 axles. A 700 ton has 8 axles.

Rented a 500 ton a couple months ago. $15k in, $15k out, $1k per hour (8 hour min).

Are there any US made like this?

Not really. Link Belt still makes up to 300 ton all-terrain cranes in Kentucky. Grove still makes some cranes here, but their all-terrain models are made overseas.
The big players for all-terrain crane are Liebherr, Tadano, and Grove, which are all made overseas.
