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.
Titan Clydebank, more commonly known as the Titan Crane is a 150-foot-high (46 m) cantilever crane at Clydebank, West Dunbartonshire, Scotland. It was designed to be used in the lifting of heavy equipment, such as engines and boilers, during the fitting-out of battleships and ocean liners at the John Brown & Company shipyard.
Upon completion, the shorter arm was tested to lift 200 tonnes (200 long tons; 220 short tons) at a radius of 72 feet 2 inches (22.00 m) and the longer arm could lift 50 tonnes (49 long tons; 55 short tons) at a radius of 139 feet 5 inches (42.49 m). [1] Railway tracks running beneath the crane allowed material to be moved from the workshops.
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]
It was built in 1917 by Sir William Arrol & Co. [1] It was rated to lift 150 tonnes (150 long tons; 170 short tons), and is a category A listed structure.

A central 15 ton travelling gantry crane was also provided, for lifting machinery along the centreline of the hull. [1] The Belfast gantry would be very similar to this first gantry, although larger at 840 ft (260 m) long and spanning two building berths. The central girder between the berths allowed the addition of a larger cantilever crane. [2]
