RE: Impressive Heavy Lift ! - 1500 tons
I'll have to go check my files to see what the weight on that sucker was.
I was lucky enough to see many very large lifts during my 5 years there. 300+ ft tall Cat Cracker replaced by Altair-Strickland's Heavy Fabrication Division in 2011 (the Cat was one of my units), Coke drum replacement in 2012, Hydrocracker in 2013. Also started up a bio-diesel unit there as well. I miss that place, but sadly, just too far from my home. The commute was a bear. Got some great pictures, though!

There's lots of heavy-hauling/heavy lifting/giant crane stuff on youtube, but unfortunately, the bigger it is, the slower it moves, so it's not as interesting as you might expect.

Our shop is fabricating some vessels that will be using lifting blinds for installation, and they're coming out bigger than anything we've done in the past. When I saw this video I had to laugh when I saw the lifting blind they used, how thick is that!?
