    Lampson LTL-2600 Mobile Crane

    If anyone wants to see an LTL-2600 up close Lampson just set one up out in Big Pasco..
    It's hard to miss from about anywhere in town.
    It's so tall the boom and jib have aircraft warning beacons..

    I haven't seen them set one up with the extra jib in awhile..

    Just to give it a sense of scale.. the crawlers are 46' long and 36' wide
    It will lift and move up to 2600 tons..

          Sure puts it in perspective with the "crane operator" standing in front of it in the one picture.

              Not to sound stupid, but what do they do with them?

                      I could see that answer coming and still laughed. Know how good these youngsters are with joy sticks and their thumbs that operator standing in front of the monster will have no problems operating it.

                                  Tom,

                                  Even an idiot like me knows that, but really, what are they for.

                                  They're not like the ship containers lifts I see at the NJ ports or the giant shovels I've seen used for strip mining, or the towers at construction sites of tall buildings in Manhattan.

                                  Seriously, what are these monsters made for (and don't tell me millions of dollars).

                                      That one is going to China to lift 1000 ton nuclear reactors into place..
                                      I believe it's the 5th LTL-2600 built.. The first 2 are in Australia
                                      One is around the US somewhere..

                                      They built the 4th in 2008. It's already in service over in China.

                                      Hitachi has ordered the first LTL-3000 (yes even bigger) to do reactor work in Japan.


                                      In 2003 they used an LTL-2600 to set a fully assembled 900 ton railroad bridge.

                                          Just to put the size in perspective.. this is the crawler of a LTL-1100
                                          the LTL-2600 crawler is 10 feet wider than the one in this picture.
