Me dad was a service engineer for gottwald - boy this beauty sure has seen better days. Was glad that I got to ride on them all incl this big one. Seeing those professionals at work does make one cringe...
I think it will wreck there after I saw this Video. The transportation vehicle for the Mast was already killed to get replacement parts for the crane. And the other trailer that comes with the crane is now used as a goosneck Trailer
This is not the question to be answered. This masterpiece by Gottwald was the VERY FIRST CRANE of his category EVER to lift up to 1.000 tons ... And it was the ONLY ONE WORLDWIDE for a time of 22 years (between 1985 and 2007). Built only one time. The Liebherr LTM 11200 can lift only 200 tons more.
