3 Big Jobs require Big Cranes

This very brief video shows preparations to lift a 25m Fireboat destined for service in Kuwait into the waters near Lake Ontario. The crane used is from the Mammoet Company - a Terex AC 500-2 with a lift capacity of 600t.
OK, we'll wait.

I hope you think the wait was worthwhile - here's the follow-up, when the boat was launched next morning, Tuesday, April 5th
Nicely done! Impressive stick work and editing to tell a neat story. Quite the crane too. You'd mentioned the capacity of the crane is 600t, was the crane configured with counter weights for that entire capacity and what does the fire boat weigh?

That's a beefy crane!!! About how long did it take from lift to water? It is amazing to watch this type of thing.
