With a lifting capacity of 3,600 [5] to 4,000 tons, [6] a total boom length of 144 meters [3] and a total gross weight of 5,350 tons. [3] The XGC88000 crawler crane became the largest tracked mobile crane in the world, [ 7 ] [ 8 ] [ 9 ] beating out the previous record holder, the Liebherr LR 13000 when it officially came into production in 2013.
The Guinness World Records state that Taisun holds the world record for "heaviest weight lifted by crane", set on April 18, 2008 at 20,133 metric tonnes (44,385,667.25 lb) by lifting a barge, ballasted with water. [3] However, it was surpassed by the Honghai Crane when the new crane was completed in 2014, with a lift capacity at 22,000 tonnes. [5]
Underslung (lower-beam) launching gantry used for Skyline guideway construction (2015). A launching gantry (also called bridge building crane, and bridge-building machine) is a special-purpose mobile gantry crane used in bridge construction, specifically segmental bridges that use precast box girder bridge segments or precast girders in highway and high-speed rail bridge construction projects.
Each crane has a span of 140 metres (459 ft) and can lift loads of up to 840 tonnes to a height of 70 metres (230 ft). Their combined lifting capacity of almost 1,700 tonnes is one of the largest in the world. Prior to commissioning, the cranes were tested up to 1,000 tonnes, which bent the gantry downwards by over 30 centimetres (12 in).
The provisions in this Standard apply to the design or modification of below-the-hook lifting devices. As such: WLL = MBL / SF. SWL is no longer used to identify the maximum capacity of equipment due to it being too vague and leaving it open for legal issues. The US and European standards switched to The Working Load Limit' standard shortly after.
A vehicle with a 5,000 lb (2,300 kg) capacity with the boom retracted may be able to safely lift as little as 400 lb (180 kg) with it fully extended at a low boom angle. The same machine with a 5,000 lb (2,300 kg) lift capacity with the boom retracted may be able to support as much as 10,000 lb (4,500 kg) with the boom raised to 70°.

Crawler cranes range in lifting capacity from about 40 to 4,000 long tons (44.8 to 4,480.0 short tons; 40.6 to 4,064.2 t) as seen from the XGC88000 crawler crane. [58] The main advantage of a crawler crane is its ready mobility and use, since the crane is able to operate on sites with minimal improvement and stable on its tracks without outriggers.
