A crane does the same amount of work to lift 50 tonnes at 10 metres as it does to lift 100 tonnes at 5 metres. That being said; I believe the largest single lift was perfromed by one of forty-two Lampson Tranis Lift IIs in Corpus Christi TX. The actual load was 1000 tonnes. And this just happens to be a MOBILE unit, on top of everything else! A crane’s limitation is defined as metre-tonnes, because it is the moment that creates the limitation of the crane lift.
