What was the girder thickness? The polar crane that we worked on at FPL in St. Lucie was 115 ft span, and 200 ton. :thumbs:
You want to see something even bigger? Here's a crane that a friend of mine worked on at Manitowoc Cranes called the "31000". The picture depicts it's
5,500,000 lb test lift. Its the biggest outdoor crane I've ever encountered. It has 55m (180ft) of boom in the pictures and 44 parts of
50mm diameter rope. And to give you an idea of the sheer size of this beast, the entire
engineering dept stood on the crane to get an idea of scale.
@Ble_PE (or any other structurals) any guesses as to how thick the concrete test pad had to be?
