That is some site
there was a live cam too. Missed it
to me that's a proper job...Unlike HS2 which seemed a competition to see how much money could be splurged on opencast mining for two railway tracks FFS 🫣

was going to post an article about that yesterday and forgot ...... it is some tool
World’s biggest wheeled crane makes its debut lift [ – with video]
XCMG reports that its new 3,000-tonne capacity, 10-axle mobile crane has made its first lift.

two options'd be my guess .. either remote release attachment points -- but more likely a manual job ... plenty to attach yerself to ....... lets see AI do that sh1t

just tripped over XCMG's predecessor to the 3000 a 2600 .... there's a decent view of the blade cradle in it ... looks to be some form of hydraulic clamping mechanism 2.17two options'd be my guess .. either remote release attachment points -- but more likely a manual job ... plenty to attach yerself to ....... lets see AI do that sh1t

this one's where they're taking these .. wonder if they lose any
9.13 for blade lifts - interesting cradle
they're obviously capable of a lot more than we often give them credit for ... the tech involved in designing and building this gear is 'up there'

cheaper to leave it stand than de-rig and get it back .... will be a contract lifting op.

I’m in the French Alps on holiday and there are quite a few of these around on new-build sites. I had a close(ish) look at one today and can only deduce that it is held up by magic alone, as the footprint is tiny (12 feet square) and cribbage looks like zero shits are given. I paced the outreach at over 30m(!) - it’s ridiculous!
Haven’t seen one working so not sure what sort of weight they hang off them but the fact it doesn’t just tip over anyway is very impressive - it has around 16 tonnes of concrete counterweight but the minuscule footprint makes no sense at all when viewed ‘in the flesh’.
