The cranes
Ten so far. Each one is built from its real data sheet, sets up the way the real one does, and has its own cab and limiter screens.
Liebherr, all-terrain
LTM 11200-9.1
1,200 t
The longest telescopic boom there is, and every metre of it has to be set up and paid for in counterweight.

LTM 1750-9.1
750 t
Drives up the ridge road, sets up on the pad and lifts its own counterweight off the trucks before the first tower section.

- 204 t of counterweight off nine trucks
Liebherr, crawler
LR 1700-1.0
700 t
The wind farm crane. The 83 t nacelle at 106 m still takes about 97 % of its chart.
