Taisun (Chinese: 泰山; pinyin: tàishān; Taishan) is the world's strongest crane, having a safe working load of 20,000 metric tons (22,046 short tons).[1] Taisun is designed by DHHI (Dalian Huarui Heavy Industry)[2] and built for the installation of very large modules in semi submersibles and FPSO projects. It is located at Yantai Raffles Shipyard in Yantai, Shandong Province, China. The crane holds the three heaviest lifts of all time respectively: 20,133 metric tons, 17,100 tons and 14,000 tons.
Parts of this article (those related to Taisun being the strongest crane in the world [ see http://www.hhic.cn/en/newscenter/201208/287.html]) need to be updated. (August 2012) |
The amount of wire required to operate Taisun is nearly 50,000 meters or just over 31 miles, allowing it to lift a maximum of 80 meters.
