In Russsia, very tall cranes, rail-going, are used to build blocks of flats up to 25 storey tall. KB-674 can attain a lifting height of 85m. In most of other counrties such buildings are raised with normal sized, tied tower cranes, what is not at all spectacular.

K-1400 pdf This data is not suitable for the cranes above. For instance old k-1400 had a tower section of 5X5m, compared with 3.92 for the new one.

@ djlivus
Thanks for the welcome back...
I know, it`s been a while.

Do you have more Data for "old" K 1400 ? For me, it was always 3,92m tower....

On behalf of the Potain MD 22500:

Here is the repost of the picture I gathered, as reminder:

Quite astonishing !
And I did "reconstruct" it, of course.
I`ll post later in comparison with K 10000 and K25000.
