With an ultimate load capability of over 2,600 short tons-force (2,400,000 kg f), it is among the largest land-based mobile crawler cranes in existence in terms of capacity. [4] It has a maximum boom length of 460 feet (140 m) and maximum jib length of 240 feet (73 m). [5]
The total cost was approximately US$50,000,000 (equivalent to $71,010,000 in 2023).
