That is some heavy duty machinery they have there
- tricky 16y agoyeah, i was all proud of myself for hosting a new engine in my car last weekend and getting everything lined up and bolted together. Thought it was an impressive feat. Now, not so much.
- zwieback 16y agoI didn't have an engine puller so a friend helped me lift the engine out of my Spitfire to replace the clutch. When I put the engine back in another guy helped me and we almost dropped the engine and both got major back pain. I realized that friend 1 must have done 75% of the lifting. Next time: engine puller.

- tricky 16y agoyep, engine hoists are v. necessary. Also, always rent a drywall lift when doing ceilings.
- hugh3 16y agoIf you think that's a serious crane, check out this bastard: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taisun http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taisun The space shuttle orbiter weighs 109 tons. The Taisun can lift twenty thousand tons.
- junklight 16y agoblimey! Yes - that is mental. All over the world people believe all kinds of rubbish. But engineers look at things and say "I know how to do that" or "why don't you do this" - and you end up with stuff like this. Fantastic!
