	The world’s largest mobile crane is a truck-mounted telescoping crane than can lift up to 1,330 tons. The Leibherr LTM 11200-91 has an eight-section telescopic boom with an eight-foot radius. Capable of performing tasks like no other, the crane has a lattice jib that adds an additional 79 feet by 413 feet to its already record-breaking vertical reach of 558 feet. This monstrous crane is often used for making wind turbines.		The world’s largest mobile crane is a truck-mounted telescoping crane than can lift up to 1,330 tons.

−	If somebody said that a crane could hold a hotel inside it, it would probably seem incredible. But that is exactly what the Harlingen Harbour Crane serves as in Denmark. Once a Figee level luffing crane that was created in 1967, it was in use until 1996 to carry timber from Scandinavia and Russia. With a cabin situated 17m above the quay, the views across the waters are mesmerising. The jib arm also reaches 148 feet and can be seen from a distance. After the ownership of the crane ~~was transferred~~ in 2001, two years of construction transformed ~~the crane~~ into a hotel. The cabin is now known as “The Spider” and guests can rotate their room for a full panoramic view of the scenery.	+	If somebody said that a crane could hold a hotel inside it, it would probably seem incredible.
