Nah... screw the 10k... here is a crane... Got to love gov equipment. 350 ton crane. We use it to lift lock gates when we replace them, and also to lift our 80 ton crane onto the barge.

it takes an entire crew to spot for the thing. And the small crane is used to steady the load. The thing is mounted to its own barge, on a 60' ring that it spins on. it takes a 1300 hp boat to move the whole rig.
Which can be a real challenge during winter...

takes an hour to lift it into working position from the rested position. and the boat that pushes it has a pilot house that raises up about 13 feet so he can see over the rig. but still fit under the short bridges.
I then took it for a cruise down the main street hehe. 
I also viewed these pics during the test.
