And also....

Well if you look at the car right next to it you can tell. Right now this is one of the largest cranes in the world by far and THE largest on two tracks. The crane is rated for max lift of 3,200 metric tons. They don't get much bigger. And 900 tons doesn't seem like much??? Say what? At that radius? I think you miss the point about crane capacity.

I thought it might have something to do with the rad and lifting ability of the crane...
At the rad this Twin is lifting...what would the LTM1200 be able to lift?
And i see the car now...that pic dident show on my pc for some reason..
By the way i hope i dident seem arrogant or ignorant towards your pictures....

Why is "phonetically" spelt with a "ph"?

The complex of Newgrange was originally built between c. 3100 and 2900 BC,[2] meaning that it's aproximately 5,000 years old. According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.

Flaming heck!!. That looks awesome and it's fantastic to see a CC8800 Twin at work for real(if you know what I mean). I think the lift side have just taken the lead again!. Well, maybe the lift side weren't behind

Tommi, here is a picture of one of the CC8800-1 Twins at the Demag testing facility and here is a picture of the same crane with two men standing next to it. *Note: these are not my pictures.

what a beast great pics, i was reading in the cranes magizine that this is the way foward for crane manafactures that big crawlers will be in even more demand hence a lot of hire companys are buying them over rough terrain cranes , where as lighter cranes have taken a bit of a nose dive the market for larger heavier cranes is stable and set to rise with all the big jobs going on in asia and the middle east.

^^^ No apologies necessary. A model of the CC8800 is indeed available - same basic structure, but with a single boom. The Twin is a unique piece of equipment (as are the Lampsons) and we always look forward to new info and pics of the monster...

Tim,
Thanks for the photos. I don't believe any of the AP1000 Rev 15 plants in the US are under construction as of yet.

man if i had money to burn i would buy that Twin model from that guy... what a beast! i was gonna say how does he raise the boom with the double bridles. its hard enough to get the A-Frame lines to be equal and its just a short distance, let alone all that line trying to keep the tensions exactly the same has to be damn near impossible!!
