• I think it's a "sas" on the VAB bay plateform for entrance to the Orbiter. They are the same at OPF

  you mean whiteroom.  They would have been removed with all the other shuttle platforms that are being demolished.
  
  Anyways, what kind of information?  they aren't remarkable.

  They are one other crane at VAB. It was installed below the HB crane. Maybe 125 feet above the floor. It could only service HB-2.
  According Zpoxy,   It's been disassembled and temporarily stored in the OPF-3 car parking lot in 2000.
  I don t know when it was put on the building after.
  When this crane was build ?
  What is this use ?

  Could they have used this crane when the bay was used to accept Solid Rocket motors for the shuttle before the RSPF facility was built back in the 80s.
