As far as I know tallest hammer head tower cranes [i] (freestanding height, of course) are:
1. Linden 8952 with tower section of 5.8 meters and
a height under hook 139 meters. The overall height is 148 meters. Unfortunately this custom made crane has no mobile version.
2.Potain MD1400 with a maximum hook height of 137.4 meters,when riged on a rail going base(span-15m) with a tower system of 5.5 X5.5 and 4X4 meters. If we look at overall height this is the tallest of all with more than 155 meters to the top.
3.Kroll k-10000. Although the height under hook of the main boom is only 86 meteres(max90), the tower is 124 meters, the height under the hook of second boom is 126 meters and overall height is 143m!!!

Linden 8952 in Varsow

Top is changing...I just received from Mr. Pius Meyer from www.info-kran.ch an oustanding brochure about old potain maxi topkit.
So, in 1988 Potain shipped to Russia a Potain MD-2200 with a height under hook of 124,7 meters, rail-going. Maximum jib lenght was 80m, maximum load-50 tonnes. Construction weight of this crane was 516 tonnes and total weight including 45 tonnes base ballast and 93 tonnes counterjib ballast was 654 tonnes.
So, on the third place is potain md-2200 and kroll k-10000 falls on 4th place....
