Yoshida - Japanese biggest floating crane
.
I’m not sure if this is Japan’s largest floating crane or if it’s the biggest in the world, but either way, it’s huge!
iEarly in the morning it arrives at the city dock to begin the bridge construction for the man-made island in Kagoshima bay. Boom length: 132m. Lifting capacity: 3700 tons!
It’s “Yoshida” - Japanese biggest floating crane, built by Mitsubishi heavy Industries Division.
Each hook is 10 meters tall. The workers around it look as small as ants.
Some 800 steps lead to the tip of the boom, to the small cabin on the top.
