Its package says that it is made in Austria by a company named UMEX. It's model number is U-310, it is beutifully balanced so it will not tip in any direction and it is called a Liebherr Turmdrehkran 8A. It is intended to be towed behind a vehicle. I'm interested in an appropriate time period and what type of vehicle would have been used to haul it. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have one similar to that right in the front of my house, right now, hauling material for the roof refection (above the room that will house my new layout)! It would be towed by any construction truck. In the case of your model, after disassembly, the tower and the jib would be carried on a flat semi trailer, while the mechanism/ power truck would be towed separately. Hope this helps
