Did you know that the first mobile tower crane (Not the regular tower cranes you see in large cities. Those are assembled by mobile cranes on the site) was invented in 1949 by Hans Liebherr?  It is basically small tower (And jib) sections that are connected by hinges and winches/cables/hydraulics so they can fold down onto a trailer. So instead of needing 10 trucks and a mobile cranes for a regular tower crane, you have 1 truck (Sometimes 2; 1 for transporting the actual crane, and 1 for transporting the counterweight). Liebherr also makes mobile construction cranes (The MK 73-3.1, MK 88-4.1, and MK 140), so instead of having the mobile tower crane on a trailer, it is directly mounted to a vehicle.  Spierings also makes mobile construction cranes, but they look kind of ugly (In my opinion)

I will post more pictures here later, or you can look them up yourself. Sorry if that sounds harsh or like I am lazy or something, but I have slow internet, and right now it is even slower than normal, so it is taking over 8 minutes to load a single webpage.

Most of the emojis turned into :rep:, and that was probably too many anyway
