Here we have Peter McLeod standing in front of one of the hooks on Saipem 7000. They don't get much bigger than this (7000 Tonne Capacity). The spreader bar in the background puts our little ones here in the yard to shame.

From the crane here you can see the 32 metre reach with the 8 tonne panel just been placed on site. In using the 130 the client was able to have the crane remain in one position through out the job placing each panel straight from the trucks one after another as they arrived with no delays.
