Nice those mlc cranes with vpc are beasts for there size
What size were the Manitowoc's? Beautiful counterweights on them.
Nice, looks easy but the more you know the more you realize it is not.
What's that in tons.

Fifty million bots.
WHY DOES IT NEED TO BE LIFTED? WASTE of energy and lifting capacity

Accelerated bridge construction (ABC) is actually a game-changer in the field of civil engineering! Several reasons why: 1.Safety: ABC minimizes on-site construction time, thereby reducing workers' exposure to potential hazards such as traffic accidents, falls, and other construction-related risks. Prefabricating bridge components in a controlled environment enhances quality control and reduces the likelihood of errors or accidents. 2. Efficiency: Traditional bridge construction methods often involve prolonged road closures and disruptions to traffic flow, causing inconvenience to commuters and businesses. ABC significantly reduces these disruptions by completing construction during shorter windows of reduced traffic flow. Components can be rapidly assembled on-site, allowing for quicker project completion. 3. Cost-effectiveness: Overall cost savings achieved through reduced labor, shorter project duration, and minimized traffic disruptions are substantial. ABC can also result in long-term cost savings due to the enhanced durability and quality of components. 4. Minimized Environmental Impact: By reducing construction time and traffic congestion, ABC helps minimize the environmental footprint associated with traditional construction methods. Additionally, prefabricating bridge components in a controlled environment can lead to better resource utilization and waste reduction. We appreciate your comments, and hope this method makes better sense now!
