Big Green Crane
Capable of extending to 110metres, weighing 435 tonnes and requiring 18 semi-trailers to transport, this big green crane was used to replace the railway bridge at Lidcombe. Traffic and street lights had to be removed so that it would fit. The road had to be built up by a metre to prevent its weight cracking the underground water pipes. All this was done over a long weekend and completed with about 12 hours to spare.
