Wow. Awesome machine. Look at the 2250 behind it. It looks like a miniature.

I'd really like to take the trip up there, only if I can get up to the fence like in the last set of photos! Otherwise, no point, anyone know if public can get up to the fence?

Otherwise, no point, anyone know if public can get up to the fence? these most recent pictures are not from the outside of the fence, they are from inside the refinery, clearly from someone working with the crane, and no you cant get that close..... i have been told that the access road that is close to the crane is also closed, so you arent going to be able to get right up next to it

This is just fantastic and we are so lucky to have a photo source  Those latest photos are really beginning to show this monster and seeing it in a livery takes the crane to another level. One little thing for me is that the counterweights aren't painted which is a shame. Keep the photos coming!

I would love to see a) the thickness of the cable wire and b) how they reeve the hook block How could Liebherr/Mammoet not commission a model of this monster?.

According to the stuff on Liebherr's site, the main hoist rope is 52 mm (2") and there are 30 sheaves in the full block (block alone weighs 100+ tons)

I believe it is a 52mm or roughly 2" wire rope that is on the lr 13000. on a side note it is somewhat disheartening to see the upgrading industry being sold out from under us Canadians in exchange for short term pipeline jobs. Also I would like someone to explain how the dirty tar sands oil becomes so clean once it crosses the border..... anyway... love the crane and the pics.
