    What an amazing crane. I've been looking at one of ours recently. It looks like a very small dinosaur next to this one.

    that is quite a crane. Let's see it picking something up. I see them down at the waterfront but have never seen them doing anything. But I know I am not there during work time---but still!
    I believe you too. LOL MB

    The capabilities of these things are amazing. And I think it takes a lot of skill to be able to operate one properly.

    I'll bet you had to crane your neck to get these photos.

    It seems like our port is always updating their cranes. They seem to handle more weight, faster than their predecessor.

    A new super-crane for you, how exciting!
    40 wheels, wow!

    I remember my amazement when they first brought our mobile Liebherr to Jerusalem to build the Calatrava bridge.

    Cranes are great.

    That's a hell of a crane (I mean, in a positive way), it seems to be able to handle just about anything! Great shots!
    God bless you!

    I've always wanted to get a license to manuver cranes! This one is massive!
