  • 100 ton hatch lids? the most i've lifted are 34 ton and they are 5 or 6 boxes wide, and i mean 34,000 Kgs.

    I think they like to exaggerate things a little.

  • @malavivius I think they mean that they can support that much weight... per hatch cover.

  • I work Ila 1414 in Savannah Ga .........and I love every bit of it ............where is this port

  • Longbeach,Ca

  • @malavivius if you care to watch and listen, you,ll see that they are big hatch covers and not just little ones.

  • I wish i had a mexican grandma that can drive a truck lol

  • Adrian's Engine is big

  • Just down the road where I livehere in the UK we have Felixstowe one of the biggest ports in Europe and to cope with the megaships such as the E Class Maersk ships Hutchinson Ports has had to spent £291 million on lengthen part of Felixstowe South to accomdate these giants and they are proposals for a new £300million terminal at Harwich as well to reduce the strain on Felixstowe but that has been held up.

  • Some video game playing kid today, is bound to be a crane operating master tomorrow.

  • How come Long Beach isn't an automated port like the ECT in Rotterdam? looks like it would save a lot of time and money

  • so how much then??

  • No big deal, an easy fix. Thank God there was no mistake in the position of the holes!!!! Moving the piece is a minor inconvenience. ( Relative to rebuilding it )
