Popular Post Truck Shop Posted April 30, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted April 30, 2017 I was at Lampson Crane last year taking pics of this crane and other odds and ends. That's me standing next to the tracks. Each concrete counter weight was stamped 71,000 lbs. It will lift 3,000 tons it's 400 ft high and weighs 7 million pounds. http://www.lampsoncrane.com/ Truck Shop 8 Quote One ping only Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/49687-king-of-the-mobile-cranes/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truck Shop Posted April 30, 2017 Author Share Posted April 30, 2017 5 hours ago, Mike said: What is this baby used for and why? Well the truth is it was built in conjunction with Hitachi for use in Japan building nuclear reactors until the quake happened a few years back. Since that happened this crane {other than going through testing} has not been used. Lampson was paid in full by Hitachi and Hitachi is looking for any local work they can muster. If any of you folks know of any jobs for it you might drop Hitachi a line.

Mike Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 OK, we could use it to take the cooling tower off our roof and a couple of old gas water heaters. I would like to see our bosses face when he gets the bill.That scene would be priceless.

Popular Post Freightrain Posted May 1, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted May 1, 2017 I got some shingles I need placed on my garage roof. Will that be big enough . Quote and weighs 7 million pounds. I bet when it moves, it doesn't actually MOVE. It just rotates the world underneath it? 3 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

BillyT Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I thought that Bucyrus Erie crane that used to sit off I 80 on the Ohio Pa line was big! This dwarfs it! I think it sat on the PA side,was used for stripping coal I think!

yarnall Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 A buddy convinced another buddy that the roof on my pole barn slid back and I picked the trucks out with a crane. That would do the job. Maybe I could get a good deal on it. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/49687-king-of-the-mobile-cranes/#findComment-369146 Share on other sites More sharing options...
