I know of a crane that can lift max 5000te, currently being tested. E.g it will lift 2,677te at 50m or 500te at 132m. Might this be bigger than the ones mentioned above? Kale IP: Logged |

Would that be ALE's new machine by any chance? Actually, I just took a look at your profile...you're in Staffordshire...What a coincidence! If it is, its only competitor would be Mammoet's MSG 50. Rumor has it that Mammoet is upgrading the '50 so it will interesting to compare the two if thats' done. I saw some early designs of ALE's crane a couple of years ago, and it looks pretty cool. More flexible than the MSG and a unique counterweight arrangement. How about some photos of the beast? [This message has been edited by malaycobra (edited April 15, 2008).] IP: Logged |

Got it in one! It sure does look big, think it will use up to 4000te of c/b... I've got some piccys taken during assembly but I'm not sure if I'll be allowed to post them. How would I go about posting them if I do get permission?

I heard from some ex ALE folks that there is a smaller one too. Perhaps 3000te. If you can send pics out please add me as well. kraneguy at cmaaccess dot com [This message has been edited by kraneguy (edited April 18, 2008).] IP: Logged |

I think unfortunately you have to work for ALE to be able to access the link above. Anyway guess who gets to go and see it (briefly) next week? Yay, it's me! I'm well excited, can't wait. Gonna try and get a photo of me standing next to it :-)) IP: Logged |

The Terex Twin is in Abu Dhabi in the UAE. As I look out my window I can see it. It was used last week in Musafah to fit legs on a drill ship. As a carry crane this beast realy is in a class of its own. Interesting fact; the full hook assembly alone weighs 99 ton IP: Logged |
