My 1st maritime job I recall being amazed with the huge crane that drove the pilings...until the next day when a crane on a barge10x bigger, picked up the pile-driving crane and left....

that is two of the larger cranes in the world one is a 2500 ton the other is a 1200 ton just kind of funny how small they make a pump look

Pay no never mind to this equipment right now. You've got more important things to worry about this weekend! Like a Booner!!!...

Doesn't take much to make an operator feel small when it comes to cranes.

'Oooh, me got a big 40 meter. Oh no, that damn crane bigger than me. :('

I saw the 'Thialf' out on the horizon once, even far out there it looked bigger than my pump.
