We have seen multiple videos of SUVs saving the day by towing much heavier vehicles out of problems. This one though is a mega tow done by Land Rover Defender 110 on an uphill. The Defender here towed an Eicher truck, a crane parked on it and a piece of machinery. The video is from an unknown location. You can see the Land Rover Defender pulling the truck and the crane parked on it. It looks like the vehicles are going uphill. The new Defender 110 has a towing capacity of around 3,700 kg. The truck and the crane both…

We often see heavy duty cranes parked on the side of the road. They are often used for the construction of bridges and also lift heavy objects at construction site. Although you would have seen these trucks on the road, there are not many videos of the same on internet. This is a very complicated machinery and an expert is required to operate these. Here we have a quick walkaround video that shows how the a heavy duty crane from Germany looks like. The video has been uploaded by All in One Entertainment on their…

German crane maker Sennebogen last week debuted a 50-metric-ton electric telescopic crawler crane – the first battery-powered crane in its weight class.

In 2019, an American novelist of slender renown named CJ Hauser scored a viral hit with an essay about calling off her wedding and embarking on an ornithological field trip. The Crane Wife described a relationship in which she was cheated on more than once, though what finally brought her to her senses was the realisation that she couldn’t sustain the ludicrously “low-maintenance” persona demanded by her husband-to-be. On one occasion, he even presented her with a blank birthday card, explaining that it could be filed…
