nod, John is brining all of it... but It may be a good idea to have extra
wires et al, incase we need to extensions...

Yes.

The crane only works on the z (up/down) and y (forward and backwards) axis,
the x (left/right) axis... does noot exist/work... (this would require a
forth motor, and an additional RCX... which I have neither of (maybe next
time).) What I am trying to say is, the code crane will be anchored to the
Dock, so as long as there is one or two container stacks infront of the
crane, it will work... I hope..

I was using the 1 x 2 Tile with handle

From what I remember the Crane is resting on the dock (2.1 bricks), The
Height I am using a 1 x 16 and a 1 x 8 technic beam to support the crane (24
studs - 2 studs for the connection to the body of the crane.)
The cockpit for the crane is 6 Bricks lowerthen that, but will probably
never hit anything since it does not move form side to side.

as long as you can fit under 22 studs + 2.b bricks, it should be ok.
