Erik Lund:
Looks like the hook was pulled out,,, wow! Hope no one got hurt
Well captured!

Thomas Stellwag:
Luc,  thanks for your comment

Erik,  news about this came from visitors of the test and some regional newspapers. Liebherr marketing department stayed hidden. There was no dead reported, some injuries, no idea how serious they were. Looking at it, the rotating junction pin between the real hook and the roll frame did not do its job on the lower side.

--- Quote from: Thomas Stellwag on November 01, 2020, 22:27:03 ---Jack, during the test of this 5000t crane, they lifted a pontoon out of water (5500t) and the hook broke.
With the sudden load release the double boom swinged back beyond its normal shape by just folding down on the back side.
They speak of €50-100 million damage to crane and vessel. This hook was supplied by another company, there are ongoing investigations as far as I know.
According to the planning this vessel should work since a while in Scotland to install off shore wind rotors.

Wow, I didn't noticed but did felt the design of the crane depicted in #3 very unique...

Erik Lund:
Yes, that's what it looks like.

Do you have close up of the hook?

Fons Baerken:
Liebherr thought they made kitchen appliances ;D
Set of sharp images, your Leica, Thomas?
