The super crane can lift 5,000 tons and can extend up to a maximum of 250 meters. With a radius of 275 meters, the crane arm can move anywhere. Moreover, it is the first heavy-lift crane that can move around: Six kilometers of tracks were laid for this purpose on the construction site in Somerset in southwest England – not bad.
