My day job is working on Very Big Cranes, so I can answer these questions.

  • Loads of energy related things are very big and heavy. The biggest Offshore wind turbines are now 250m tall. (This is very annoying btw.)
  • There are a couple of companies that build cranes. If you need a Very Big Crane you know us, and we know you.
  • Yes, you use a crane to build a crane. Which means you have to design the crane in such a way that it can be lifted by another crane. See also picture.
