- In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
Having a quiet morning at work. So I was able to watch the final disassembly of a rather large crane. I'm amazed at the engineering that goes into these things. Not only can it lift up to 200 tons, and when assembled with all it's boom and jib sections can reach a height in the neighborhood of 340ft. But it can assemble and disassemble itself with minimal assistance from another crane, mostly for the boom sections. I didn't see them remove the counterweights yesterday. So I'm not sure if it needed the second crane for that.
Just amazing.
