Yeah I very rarely see crawler cranes here in London. The only times I see them are to disassemble tower cranes. I wonder if this has to do with the size of streets in New York vs London. In New York most streets are wide enough to accommodate a crawler crane while in London big crawler cranes have to be disassembled and brought to the building site in pieces and can't site in the street beside usually.
- chiph 11y agoIt may also be due to underground structures. Driving a heavy crane over some of the Victorian piping and the Tube (where it's close to the surface) would cause damage, and there may not be a clear route into some parts of London.
- robk 11y agoThey're not at all uncommon around Victoria. Lots of construction around here.
- lhopki01 11y agoLarge crawler cranes? There are small ones around London, about the same size as truck cranes but very rarely do I see one the size of these ones on New York.
