Fesco ships world's largest mobile crane from US to Shanghai this week

FESCO Transportation Group has announced it is transporting a 1,850-ton mobile crawler crane produced by Lampson International from Kennewick, Washington, to arrive in Shanghai on April 15.


It is described as being the largest land-based mobile crane in the world with a lift and carrying capacity of 2,358 tons and is outfitted with a 400-foot main boom and a 160-foot jib. The crane is being shipped from the port of Everett to Hunan province to be unloaded in Shanghai to assist in the construction of a nuclear power plant.


"Fesco offered a competitive ocean freight rate, but the real value was in the all-inclusive package they offered," said Herbert Coulter, Lampson's director of purchasing/logistics, in a statement. "It included all ocean freight, terminal receiving and handling, as well as long shore loading labour which made the logistics effort seamless throughout the entire project."
