This equipment includes:
o Twelve Liebherr LR 1300 crawler cranes - 660,000 lbs lifting capacity (300 metric tons) and up to 393 ft of main boom. A special configuration of 282' of main boom and a short 23 ft jib is purpose-designed for up close lifting and placing turbines on wind towers.

Liebherr crawler cranes have superior load charts, thanks to their rugged construction, yet are quick and easy to transport and assemble. Safety is assured through modern electronic control systems that continuously monitor all lifting parameters and calculate safety factors.
o Six Manitowoc 2250 crawler cranes - 600,000 lifting capacity from North America's favorite brand of crawler crane.
Bigge also has a comprehensive range of rough terrain, all terrain and truck cranes to support wind turbine construction operations, including the fifteen new Link-Belt RTC8090's and fifteen new 120-ton capacity Terex RT 1120 rough terrain cranes and the 600 ton capacity Demag AC 500 all terrain.
