Certainly looks like it , never knew they were exported to States ? or is there some computer trickery .
Signwritten Westpoint 'Plant Hire', is this a term used in USA ?

It seems that Priestmans were exported to Canada.

Americans say "I need to rent a car". Britans say "I need to hire a car"?

Yes I believe 'Plant Hire' is not a term used in States , Equipment Rental maybe the phrase for hiring construction machinery ?

Yes, Equipment Rental is the common phrase JCB.

Bit of a puzzle then, appears to be a British crane with British signwriting in an American scrapyard . :think:

The IMDB's locations list doesn't look entirely reliable (it included Milton Keynes, which is where Superman IV was filmed), but Superman III, like all the Christopher Reeve Superman films, was at least partly filmed in the UK.

Photorealistic CGI wasn't around back then, at least not as a practical option for filmmakers.
