This Volvo with its 90m articulated boom is heading back to Europe after a time in Canada as a demonstrator. It was spotted near pier 23 waiting for its ship.
The boom was built by Janneniska OY in Finland. They have now established themselves in Canada, and no longer require the unit. The Janneninska Group is the parent company of Bladefence Canada Ltd which specializes in wind turbine repair and maintenance. Bladefence set up in Canada in 2016 with an office in Toronto, but services the whole country. (That is one of their smaller units in the left of the upper photo). Bladefence Canada currently operates a fleet of more than half a dozen units ranging from 90 to 105m.
I first saw the crane truck truck just before Christmas 2016, shortly after it came ashore.
The Volvo chassis is a 5x4 with twin steer axles forward, tandem drive axles and a trailing axle at the rear.
