Unfortunately, giant goliath cranes are working around the
globe and every so often, a catastrophic failure event occurs.
This collapse occured at the Jinglu Shipyard in the North East
Peng Lai region of Shandong China. Little details are know at
this time regarding the events that led to this collapse.
It appears that the failure was at the fixed leg most likely
during a heavy capacity lift. While the basic goliath gantry
design is a proven configuration, details in the specific
operational conditions, quality of materials and workmanship
and poor judgement in calculating lift risk can prove fatal.
