What is the biggest crane that can move with its load?
For quite some time, this was the Transi-Lift® LTL-2600 made by Lampson with a maximum stroke load of 2,600 sht (2,358 metric tons). Lampson built and operate two of these lattice crawler cranes, and there may be a third, improved version on the way. The two existing cranes have already done a huge tandem lift (both lifting the same object at the same time), lifting part of an oil drilling platform weighing 1,425 metric tons (1,570 sht) at a radius of 56m (~185 ft), to a height of 66m (~215 ft). By 2007, the LTL2600 was outranged by the Demag CC 8800-1 Twin which features a stroke load of 3,200 metric tons (3,527 sht).
