This is of course a very impressive crane, all in terms of size, complexity
and how well it is capturing the look of the real thing.
When it’s finished, please post a pic showing its maximum load capacity - do
you think 2 or 3 UCS Tie Interceptors at one time would be doable?

Bob, thanks for the compliments! I think that 2 or 3 Tie Interceptors would
me more than doable! I am expexting it to be able to lift around 10 lbs at
the full height of 25 feet, and somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 lbs with
only 5 feet of boom. I will post some pictures once it is finished, and I am
also planning on taking it to BrickFair in DC this year.
The single boom version of this same crane easily lifted a 8421 with no
problems with 15 feet of boom at BF 06’

Yeah, I am being sarcastic in that picture :D

Hey Alvin - now that you have completed your Terex-Demag CC-8800-1 3,200 ton
crane, have you tested it with any loads yet?
If you don’t have 2 or 3 UCS Tie Interceptors handy, I guess you try using a
couple of the largest Technic sets you have at the same time.
Have you made a suitably large load spreader for super lifts like the one shown
here?
