Stardate 20010613.2134 (On Screen): I'm in fair touch with the state of the art, but I keep running into things which blow me away. This is one of them. You got your portable crane which is capable of lifting 650 metric tonnes up to 120 meters into the air. It's on a custom truck chassis with 18 independently steerable wheels. Unlike most big cranes, it doesn't have to be moved in pieces. When it's on the road, it is completely self-contained, moved by a 570 HP engine. Oh, if you have to ask how much it costs, you can't afford one. (Maybe it's time for the Captain to start an "Amazon gift list".)
