Liebherr LR 13000: The World's Most Powerful Crawler Crane

It can lift 3,000 metric tons in a single motion — the weight of an entire loaded train — using a boom system that has to be assembled on site because no road on Earth could carry it in one piece. The Liebherr LR 13000 doesn't drive to a job site. It arrives in dozens of separate truckloads and gets built there, piece by piece, before it ever lifts anything at all. In this video, we go inside the LR 13000 — the counterweight system that keeps 3,000 tons from tipping the crane over, the modular engineering that lets it travel anywhere despite its impossible size, and why building the crane is sometimes a bigger job than the lift it was brought in to perform.
