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.
Why yes, it is - watch this space !Would be great to see the crane in use, not just driven to the job site! Is this a preview?
OK, we'll wait.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.
Oh, I appreciate your comment enormously, but the wait was not intentional. The crane arrived on Monday and the lift was yesterday, Tuesday, first thing in the morningNicely done...I like the suspenseful music and perspectives you used and you are quite the clever marketer in making us wait!
I hope you think the wait was worthwhile - here's the follow-up, when the boat was launched next morning, Tuesday, April 5thOK, we'll wait.
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?I hope you think the wait was worthwhile - here's the follow-up, when the boat was launched next morning, Tuesday, April 5th
Almost exactly 15 minutes !That's a beefy crane!!! About how long did it take from lift to water? It is amazing to watch this type of thing.
