Awesome photo sequence- the detail shots are amazing.
You've got yourself a Pecco there- an SK 400, I believe. Sadly these cranes are no longer built, but many of them are still kicking ass and taking names on North American Jobsites.

Here's a diagram naming the various parts of Tower crane anatomy:
