Nah... screw the 10k... here is a crane... Got to love gov equipment. 350 ton crane. We use it to lift lock gates when we replace them, and also to lift our 80 ton crane onto the barge.

it takes an entire crew to spot for the thing. And the small crane is used to steady the load. The thing is mounted to its own barge, on a 60' ring that it spins on. it takes a 1300 hp boat to move the whole rig.


Which can be a real challenge during winter...
