Great photo of the labelling of the supply lines. Just saw it in Marcus House's rpt. Thank you for sharing it with him.

[@craneman2201]

awesome, you can see the K25 trailer adapting itself to the road, to keep the trailerbed level

Very nice to see this. 2nd Tower is coming along pretty fast

[@johntheux9238]

Will be interesting to see when they start shipping starships to Cape Canaveral.

[@CrustyAbsconder]

Will they bring back the Frankencrane ?? ( a.k.a. Kong by Labpadre )

[@CumulusGranitis]

Most likely as it has the vertical reach and weight capacity.

[@petercozzaglio6070]

Those SPMT’s certainly have a lot of wheels.

[@swissyodelbear]

wow

[@PyrateGraphics]

where is this? rolling today?

[@wes9627]

416 tires on this beast.

[@HelenAndyTravel]

These are so big, how do they assemble the tower?

[@CumulusGranitis]

With that big Leibheer crawler crane, the LR11350-P1800 crawler which can lift the eight pre assembled 5 story segments in one go. Max height the LR11350 can reach is 220 meters. It can hoist up to 1,350m tons, so it can lift 350m tons more then the LR11000. Hope this is of some help to you. Cheers.

@@CumulusGranitis Thank you so much for replying

[@moodyblues1365]

you would think they'd have used the Sikorsky after the AC units...🤣nice to see they didn't hafta use a tow truck the entire way...

[@ReinReads]

These are well beyond the 10 ton lifting capacity of the Skycrane.

[@CumulusGranitis]

@@ReinReads Yup!
