I too have been wondering about this question after seeing demolition excavators on rooftops many times. I doubt those wheeled cranes can lift such heavy loads up 13 storey buildings. Anyone in the construction industry knows? Real answers please.

Nothing scary about it. I've seen a 1200ton crane working once.

So they really use cranes to bring the excavator up ah?

That's some nice mechanical muscles.

really is nothing compared to how they raised a chinese junk. tat crane can do some 4000 tonnes with a metal chamber to enclose the entire 800 yr old junk fr the seabed and lift it up and send it to a building nearby. the building to be filled with sea water, and the metal chamber to be removed. slowly the water will b diluted off and expose the junk in its original condition.
