00:00These are the largest lifting machines ever made.
00:03They're designed to lift the heaviest loads needed on a construction site
00:07and to haul the largest objects to where they need to go.
00:10Join me as we take a look at 15 of the biggest cranes and lifting equipment.
00:19Alright, kicking off with some heavy lifting on our list
00:22is the big red machine known as the Manitowoc MLC-650.
00:26This big daddy crane was introduced to the world of construction
00:29and contracting at an expo back in 2014.
00:33But it's safe to say that it was way too big to fit inside of the building.
00:37The MLC-650 is what's known as a lattice boom crawler crane.
00:41And while it may not look like much when it's resting,
00:43once you hit the switch for beast mode, it can reach over 670 feet high.
00:48So just to put that into perspective, that's tall enough to reach higher
00:51than New York City's Trump Tower by a good 10 feet.
00:55But because of its sheer size, it takes a lot of work
00:58to keep this thing from tipping over.
00:59So the manufacturer employed a variable position counterweight
01:02that can automatically position itself in relation to the crane itself
01:06as it carries one massive load after another.
01:09And that counterweight alone weighs about 400 tons,
01:12which is perfect because the MLC-650 can lift about 700 tons at a time.
01:18But why do you need a crane like this?
01:19Well, this crane was built specifically for big jobs
01:22like building and moving windmill parts in South Korea,
01:25giant tunnel boring machines in Australia,
01:27and transmission towers out in the U.S. state of Virginia.
01:30But more recently, one of these big reds was employed for construction
01:34of a new baseball stadium in Texas in 2020.
01:37Looks like everything really is bigger in Texas.
01:41Number 14, D-MAG CC-6800-1.
01:46Just barely beating out the Manitowoc MLC-650 is the D-MAG CC-6800-1.
01:52The D-MAG reaches a height of 675 feet,
01:55just a foot or so more than our previous entry.
01:58This big yellow and blue machine is an absolute beast
02:01and a crowd favorite when it comes to the world of building as high as you can.
02:05In fact, this D-MAG CC can grow as tall as two big Benz.
02:09It's got a max carrying capacity of well over 1,200 tons,
02:12and its bread and butter are the things like wind turbines and steel beams.
02:16And while the D-MAG CC has been seen erecting steel structures for Turkish power plants,
02:21it's an absolute favorite of the United States.
02:23So don't be surprised if you see one of these as you pass the next big American megaproject.
02:28And speaking of megaprojects,
02:30one of these was used to help build the Ferencpuska Stadium in Budapest.
02:34The stadium took about two years to build,
02:36and now it has a maximum capacity of over 67,000.
02:40It's an absolutely awesome crane, one of the largest in the world,
02:44and will eat your little Tonka crane for breakfast and maybe even ask for seconds.
02:49Number 13, Manitowoc 31,000.
02:53Manitowoc is showing up again on this list,
02:55proving that they are one of the best crane manufacturers in the world,
02:59and they only get bigger and better with each new creation.
03:02Their new 31,000 model goes with their classic bright red paint job,
03:06which juxtaposes perfectly against the blue sky and just dominates any skyline.
03:11These lattice boom crawlers can reach all new heights of about 680 feet up,
03:16and are able to lift about 2,300 tons at a time like it's nothing.
03:20But you have to ask yourself just how something this large is being moved around.
03:24It's on a track, so then is it driving down the highway under overpasses?
03:29Think again.
03:30The team at Manitowoc had to think a little outside the box on their creation of the 31,000.
03:35So they designed it to be disassembled at the factory,
03:37transported, and then reassembled at the construction site.
03:41The entire assembly process, though, takes a full month to complete.
03:44That's pretty much the biggest Lego set in the world.
03:47But the 31,000 model features the same counterweight system as its sister crane,
03:51which can calculate the weight and move all on its own.
03:54The very first model was built in 2012,
03:56perhaps to help aid in the reconstruction after the Armageddon that never came that year.
04:01But instead, these were shipped out to South Korea,
04:03where they broke records for weights lifted in the natural gas plants.
04:06Like some of the others we've already seen,
04:08the Manitowoc 31,000 is a go-to for the building of sports stadiums.
04:13But don't be surprised if one or two turn up at the local nuclear power plants
04:17for some heavy radioactive lifting.
04:25You can't let the US-based companies have all of the fun.
04:28AL is a heavy lifting machine manufacturer based out in the United Kingdom.
04:32And while they don't crush the competition,
04:34they simply lift them up and move them aside.
04:36Their AL-SK350 is one of their top-of-the-line creations,
04:41and all others pale in comparison.
04:43This SK350 was unleashed in 2013,
04:46and for a brief moment in time, it was known as the world's largest capacity land-based crane.
04:51It maintained the title for a good six years
04:53before someone else managed to stand just a little taller.
04:56But the SK350 is still a beast,
04:59with its max height of 720 feet tall,
05:01carrying a capacity of 5,000 tons.
05:04This is another crane, though, that's just way too big to be left in one piece.
05:08So it takes a whole crew to disassemble and then reassemble it between jobs,
05:12with the entire process lasting about four weeks.
05:15So if you need to start construction in February,
05:17you need to start putting this guy together in January.
05:19The SK350 is the favored crane in the colder reaches of Canada,
05:23specifically for the oil and gas fields.
05:25But a few of these models have even made their way to the likes of Brazil.
05:29And these are pretty tough to miss, too, with their intimidating red and black paint job.
05:34Number 11. Liebherr LR 11000.
05:37The Liebherr LR 11000 is the sixth tallest crane in the world,
05:41able to reach new heights of about 728 feet into the air,
05:45which is taller than two Statues of Liberty stacked on top of each other.
05:49That's pretty crazy.
05:50Another lattice boom crawler, the Liebherr LR 11000 is just eight years old,
05:55having been introduced to the world in 2014.
05:58Specifically for things like port handling, infrastructure,
06:01wind power, and industrial construction.
06:04She's versatile.
06:05And so far, there's not much that the Liebherr LR 11000 can't do
06:09because she's got a lifting capacity of 1,000 tons
06:12and gets a little help from her hefty 790-ton counterweight.
06:16Just make sure you don't drop it.
06:18But what sets this crane apart from the rest is her state-of-the-art V-shaped frame,
06:22which allows her to operate during even the nastiest of winds.
06:25And she can quickly move her derrick ballast
06:27into the right position quickly and efficiently before anything goes wrong.
06:31It may sound a little nerdy, but she's one of the first to do it.
06:34And more importantly, it keeps everyone safe.
06:36Because what good is being the best
06:38if you end up hurting everyone around you in the process?
06:41This Liebherr LR 11000 is used for all of the fun heavy lifting
06:44needed in European locales like Germany and Switzerland.
06:48She's even made a few guest appearances in Hawaii powerlifting wind turbines.
06:58DMAG is a solid crane manufacturer.
07:01So it should come as no surprise that they've turned up on this list again.
07:04Their CC 8800 Twin may seem like a Terminator model sent from the future,
07:10but it's actually the fifth largest crane in the world today.
07:13When she stretches out as far as it can go,
07:15she's got her head in the clouds at about 735 feet up,
07:19making it the perfect place for a bird's nest.
07:22This German-made crane stands out from other cranes in the crowd
07:25with the Twin Kit of its namesake.
07:27So then what's a Twin Kit?
07:29Well, the Twin Kit is a two-boom system freely mounted onto the carrier,
07:33and the double booms means double the lifting power
07:36because this lattice boom crawler has a serious lift capacity of 3,200 tons,
07:41which is actually twice the strength of its cohorts.
07:44This DMAG model has been around for quite some time, since 2007,
07:48and typically lives and works in the United Arab Emirates,
07:51working on their massive megaprojects like the Burj Khalifa,
07:54nuclear sites, and of course, oil refineries.
07:57The DMAG-CC 8800 Twin is absolutely awesome,
08:01and if you grew up playing with construction vehicle toys,
08:03then operating one as an adult would just be a dream come true.
08:13If the last enter in our list were twins, then this would be the only child.
08:17The DMAG-CC 8800 One is a great crane in its own right,
08:22but perhaps a less intense version of the Twin.
08:25And while this thing may only have one boom to work with,
08:27that boom is reaching higher than the Twin cranes,
08:30reaching up into the stratosphere at just under 780 feet up.
08:35The crane was introduced even further back then, the Twins, in 2002,
08:39and it immediately became the largest crane in the world upon release,
08:42which is by no means an easy task.
08:44Nowadays though, it's been knocked down a few pegs,
08:46and holds the title of being the fourth tallest.
08:49But working with its near-thousand-ton counterweight,
08:51the 8800 has a maximum lift capacity of 1,600 tons.
08:56But if you like it, and just want to carry a little bit more,
08:59then you're in luck, because in 2012, DMAG released the Boom Booster Kit.
09:03Once that's installed, the 8800 can lift up to a grand total of 3,000 tons.
09:09And while this may be German-made, this boom crawler travels the globe,
09:12and can be found at big-time construction sites all around the world,
09:15thanks to that optional boom booster.
09:18Here comes the boom.
09:22Mammut PTC 200DS
09:25Never bet on red, unless you're betting on the awesome crane known as the Mammut PTC 200DS.
09:31One of the largest of its kind in the world,
09:33this tall drink of water hails from the Netherlands,
09:36and was introduced to the world of building and moving big things in 2011.
09:40This looks a little different from what we've been seeing so far,
09:43because the Mammut PTC 200DS is a ring crane,
09:47meaning it pivots around on its own ring track.
09:50But just how tall is it?
09:52Well, its main boom alone is 460 feet tall,
09:55but that's not even its final form.
09:58When it's fully extended, the boom can reach a max height of 808 feet.
10:03That's taller than not one, not two,
10:05but four leaning towers of pizza stacked on top of each other.
10:09And you can bet your bottom dollar that something this epic is going to have a beefy lift capacity.
10:14The Mammut PTC 200DS can lift a full 3,500 tons at a time,
10:20and swing that around on its 360-degree track.
10:23This big red machine is a fan favorite in places like Belgium and Brazil,
10:28where it works hard on their offshore petrochemical plants,
10:31looking like its own skyscraper.
10:38Make sure you leave it to Liebherr.
10:40Again, the German-Swiss manufacturer managed to strike gold again
10:44when they released their LR 13000 in 2010.
10:48And just when you thought you couldn't get any higher,
10:50this thing kicks it up to 11 and will take you up to 814 feet straight up.
10:55Just make sure you don't look down.
10:57Not only is this one of the tallest of its kind in the world,
11:00but it's also the strongest conventional crawler crane to date,
11:03able to lift 3,000 tons at a time.
11:06Aside from height and strength, the LR 13000 is a one-of-a-kind crane
11:11because it's able to work without a direct ballast system
11:13because of Liebherr's patented slewing rig.
11:16Hey, they really know what they're doing over there.
11:18And with so many cranes reaching their way up to the heavens
11:21and competing for our attention,
11:22you have to find a way to stand out and always offer something new.
11:26The LR 13000 can take on just about any job there is.
11:31So, sure, you can find it at the construction sites
11:33hauling around steel beams for skyscrapers
11:35or lifting blades for wind farms.
11:37But it's also perfect for power plants, offshore refineries,
11:41and even the harbors of the world.
11:43There are only a few of these models in existence,
11:45so seeing one is like seeing the world's biggest unicorn.
11:50Number six, Kroll K1000.
11:53The next crane on our list is absolutely out of control.
11:56It's the Kroll K1000.
11:58Where to even begin with this one?
12:00Well, for starters, the Kroll K1000 is 470 feet tall,
12:04making it the tallest freestanding crane in the world.
12:07It's got a full 360-degree rotation capability,
12:11and that jib at the top can reach out well over 300 feet.
12:14This world's tallest crane operates on a pretty small foundation,
12:18so it's the perfect thing for large-scale industrial projects.
12:21One of the most famous projects it's been part of
12:24is the construction of the Chernobyl power plant.
12:27Yeah, that Chernobyl.
12:28Which also means that the Kroll K1000 has been around for a long time.
12:32And with a maximum lift capacity of 240 tons,
12:36it's not so bad for an old man.
12:38And to only add to the mysticism of this crane
12:41is the fact that so few of them exist today.
12:43But the ones that do are still floating around the world
12:46and are pretty hard to miss
12:47because they almost take up 8 acres of space each.
12:54The next piece of heavy-lift equipment on our list is so epic,
12:58it's gonna make you cry.
12:59The Kokum's Crane, better known as Tears of Malmo,
13:03was built between 1973 and 1974 in South Korea.
13:07A high-gantry crane from Hyundai Heavy Industries,
13:09she's capable of lifting 1,500 tons at a time
13:13and stood at an incredible 459 feet tall.
13:16The Tears of Malmo was a force to be reckoned with
13:19and was responsible for construction of 75 ships for about 20 years.
13:23During her heyday, this gantry crane was a landmark of Malmo,
13:26a municipality in Sweden,
13:28and everybody knew who she was.
13:30Yeah, she was pretty tough to miss.
13:32Unfortunately though, all good things must come to an end
13:35and Tears of Malmo was dismantled in 2002.
13:38Her life went full circle
13:40and she was brought back to her birthplace of South Korea
13:42and was sold back to Hyundai Heavy Industries
13:44for the mind-blowing price of just one US dollar.
13:48And it was here that she finally earned her eponymous nickname
13:51because it's said that as she was towed back out to sea,
13:54the residents of Malmo wept for their once-gallant gantry crane.
14:02The SSCV Tielf is a well-known vessel in the circles of seafarers.
14:07She's a heavy-lift crane ship built in the mid-1980s
14:10and classified as a DCV or Deep Water Construction Vessel.
14:14It's outfitted with two enormous cranes
14:16that can each lift well over 14,000 tons alone.
14:21So just imagine how much they can lift if they work together.
14:23Yeah, if you're not great at math,
14:24nearly 30,000 tons of stuff in the clutches of this thing.
14:29She's incredibly unique for her class
14:31and is one of the largest vessels of her kind to operate within offshore areas.
14:35And because she's been around for 30 years,
14:37she's got a lot of great projects under her belt,
14:40like helping install the upsides of vessel halls,
14:42mooring, moving pipes, and rig support sparring.
14:46Anything that needs a big-time construction crew on the high seas, she's there.
14:50The SSCV Tielf has a breadth of 290 feet and a length of 660 feet.
14:56Her deck is so big that it even holds a flight deck
14:59for a Boeing Chinook 234-class chopper
15:02and requires 700 crew members to keep her up and running.
15:05She's definitely a prime example of being an oldie, but a goodie.
15:10Number three, SSCV Sleipnir.
15:14When a piece of heavy lift equipment is named
15:16after Odin's eight-legged horse in Norse mythology,
15:19you know it's going to be epic.
15:21The SSCV Sleipnir is a massive semi-submersible crane vessel
15:25operating under Harima Marine Contractors
15:27and is the sister vessel of the Tielf.
15:30The vessel has two revolving cranes,
15:32each with a respective carrying capacity of a ridiculous 10,000 tons.
15:37So naturally, when they're working in tandem,
15:39the two cranes can lift a 20,000-ton object
15:41up and onto the vessel without breaking a sweat.
15:44The Sleipnir is still relatively young, though,
15:46having only just been built in 2019.
15:49But the moment it hit the ocean,
15:50it became the largest of its kind for the time being.
15:53It made waves again because, as a part of a maiden voyage,
15:56it completed the largest bunkering operation on record,
16:00having lifted and transferred 3,000 tons of liquefied gas off the coast of Sumatra.
16:05And then again in that same year,
16:06she completed a record lift of 15,300 tons
16:10when she moved the topsides of the Leviathan Energy Project.
16:13She's a young vessel with many more years in front of her,
16:16so who knows what other records are just waiting to be broken by the Sleipnir.
16:20I guess there's only one way to find out.
16:26Not to be confused with the world-famous boxer Mike Tyson,
16:29the Tyson is the most powerful crane in the world.
16:32So then again, maybe you should equate this crane to the boxing great.
16:36Built in China, the Tyson has a lift capacity of 20,000 tons.
16:41It's absolutely amazing.
16:43But if you're not quite sure just how heavy that is,
16:45it's the equivalent of 8,000 Ford F-150s.
16:49But why exactly do you need a gantry crane that lifts up that many cars?
16:53Well, it may not literally be hauling around thousands of cars at a time.
16:58The Tyson is the prime crane to have on a semi-submersible vessel,
17:01the kind that carries offshore oil platforms around the ocean.
17:05She's not really screwing around,
17:07and in 2008 she broke the record for heaviest lift by crane
17:10when she hoisted up a barge that weighed over 21,000 tons.
17:15And of course, hundreds of people came to watch her flex her muscles.
17:23Seeing as how it earned our number one spot,
17:25the Sarans SGC-250 is the biggest crane in the world.
17:29More commonly known as Big Carl,
17:31this giant crane made waves when it first hit the scene in 2018.
17:36Manufactured by the Belgian heavy lift company Sarans,
17:39this monster is 820 feet tall, or 250 meters, as the name would suggest.
17:45And to put those kinds of numbers into perspective,
17:47Big Carl is only about 200 feet shorter than the Eiffel Tower.
17:51Big Carl is also a ring crane, making him stand out even more.
17:55He can lift about 5,000 tons at a time.
17:58What could possibly weigh 5,000 tons?
18:01Well, how about 50 blue whales,
18:03or beams for skyscrapers and parts for nuclear power plants?
18:07Obviously, this thing is absolutely enormous,
18:09which is why it takes 12 cat engines grouped into six pairs to wheel it around,
18:14and the 128 wheels that move it along the four-mile track.
18:18This is another crane that needs to be disassembled when the job is over,
18:22and it takes a total of 280 trucks to get all those parts to the next site,
18:27and then another month and a half to put it back together again.
18:29Big Carl.
