I'm the guy on the left and i'm 182cm tall...

In the picture it's placed on a pallet which is 12cm tall, however the feet for the machine is only 6-7cm tall, so it'll almost as tall on the image...

We maxed out the crane both on weight and height :-)
That thing is massive! Now I kinda get why you went with a factory made ATC, a horizontal diy atc wheel would be impractical at this size. Do the guys machining this beast have a website? I went through a lot of machining shops and frankly the cheapest quote I got was from a french shop, even with shipping it's 25% cheaper than the cheapest quote I got in germany, so might as well look at shops all around europe.
