It is huge, but looks OK, I will hire a mobile crane.

It also came with this lifting attachment for lifting boats:

Hey Iggy,

In the "background" of the pix, did you notice EXACTLY the same
spreader on the crawler crane across the canal?. No boat belt-slings
on it either. I wonder why. The crawler does have some tie-back
lines that would help steady a boat if they were to move it on the
tracks while slung. Good idea.

ps...hauling boats turns out to require a bit more skill and
experience than would seem necessary to anybody that has not done it,
especially lifting from the water!!!

Great Catch!!!

Indeed..it is the same rig.

So it may NOT be a boat lift, based on the functioning setup across
the way. No slings noted.

There is a multitude of youtube FAIL videos to confirm your point.

Normally you don't leave the slings out in the weather. Not real good
for them.

used as boat lifts. I can send a picture of a large collection
of those bars at our local crane company. Been in business for
years and have done work on buildings and refineries. Lift buildings
and swimming pools over a house and into the back yard or between
trees... A standard part of a crane company or a company that
has a bride crane and so forth. It simply has a pull point on the top
and two or more below. Some have dual pair of hangers on the bottom.

Any crane company would consider it. Always want another...
