Well, not too old school. 2003.

I can't believe this info is still out there. The old URL I was using is a porn site now.

Also, I was using Papyrus font way before it became so popular and over used.

yeah, 6 of them in less than a block.

I could stand underneath the counterweights on that 250 ton hydraulic. It was that big.

i can look walk outside and see 3 800 mt gantry (fun to ride the elevator to the top, and crawl through it to go on the very top, I should be doing that again in a couple weeks) and 2 450 mt gantrys

for 1 lift on our project, they used a 3800 mt barge crane

and I used to work in houston. They had one of the worlds largest crawler cranes there. I can't remember it's capacity, but it took 14 people to operate. When they would cross the street, they'd warn us so we could leave early and not get stuck. The counter weights were bigger then an F-150.

Shipyards get the cool toys.

same model of crane but not same exact one, but it was in houston since '98 or so

there's some bad juju in that one. just reminds of why not to do lifts in the wind. We had to wait a day to do our superlift because of windspeed.

man, I had seen clips before, but it's been a while. seeing that boom fold is just surreal.

yeah it is

but that pop/bang is just bad, and even before you could hear well, sounds I've never heard on a heavy lift
