In my opinion this is never a towercrane because I am missing the main feature of such cranes:

the T O W E R . Not every railgoing crane is a tower crane !!!!!

The crane has a

- mainboom
- derrickmast
- fly jib
- luffer

In my ey´s it is "only a railgoing erection crane for erection/construction work for power, chemical plants, all species of erection/construction work which need crane with great lifting capacity.

I agree with you...also russians clasify these cranes like a different category-but, everywhere else in the world-especially in China these are deemed tower cranes.They have many of this kind-dbq and tdq series. Also in Romania they have denomination MT3500. That means Tower Crane 3500.
I have to admit I don't like at all these cranes, but that is a different story.
About data sheet..you are right...mea culpa

I begin to like Favco cranes.. I just found out from reliable sources that bigest Favco cranes can be operated on rails at thier maximum hook heights-on a 80m tower for m2240D and 100m tower for m1680D. Maximum HUH is 170m for m2240 and 180m for 1680D! That is realy, realy impressive!!!!! bearbeitet 5. März 2010 von djlivus

Generally , I am not big fan of diesel towers, but most of favco can be electric, too. MK-series. Only m2240, I see on favco site, has no electric version, but I'm sure it is only a matter of time till that will apear.
