Re: 631k

The 631K is due to be go into production April 2016, wont see a new 657 till maybe May 2017.

There hasn't been a 651 produced since 2006, the 651E being the last produced.

Re: 639,s

I don't think its possible to convert a 633 into a 639 due to difference in rear chassis.

The 629 may be a custom job, Cat never made one, a 623 is still in production today but is just a single engine elevating scraper.

The 639D was only produced from 1979 - 1984.

Re: Nasty crane accident

If you look, both cranes are on different Barges, the rearmost barge appears to list as the lift starts, that looks like the most likely reason for the crane to collapse as the centre of gravity shifts.
