That’s a link belt 8670 crane with most of its counter weights still on the deck lifting a tin can. If the crane had all of its counterweights installed with the boom not extended at all and boomed up to its steepest angle, it would have a maximum capacity of 70 tons. If it was configured to lift the full 70 ton capacity then the maximum working radius would be less than 10 ft from the centre of rotation. I know this because I’ve operated those exact model of cranes for years. I see that it is lifting radius is about 30 ft making the cranes capacity at that radius and boom length about 25,000 pounds. Those silos are not heavy and that one is 20,000 pounds or less. The forklift that tailed the legs can only lift about 8000 pounds. Maybe take a zero off the 100 ton click bait title.
Whats the production on these babies ?
How much crane,capacity.

The 100 Ton Refers to the cement capacity of the silo not the crane
