1 The BIGGEST and BADDEST

The Kockums Crane was originally put together in a Kockums shipyard in Sweden. This monster of a crane was painted orange and used up until 2002 to move giant objects round at will. The Kockums was capable of lifting up to 1,500 tons at one time and could accomplish this in a matter of minutes. The crane itself weighed in at an impressive 7,500 tons! At one point it was used to lift entire sections of a bridge- A task it accomplished with ease.
