Check me out bro. I'm lifting a spaceship!>

Crane the Liebherr LR 13000

• Weighs in at 100,697 kilograms

Logistics

In 24 hours pallet delivery company National Pallets and its partners:

• Can lift 19,000 palletised pallets
• Weighing in at 22,8000,000 kilograms per day

• Number of lorries in and out of the hub per 24 day: 500
• Weighs in 13,135,000 kilograms being total freight weight per day

It would take 525,4000,000 leaf cutter ants to ship that!

Yeah, we lift Bro.
