Mega Crane Collapsed In Batam Indonesia

crane accident

It was reported that a crawler crane working in a shipyard in Batam, Indonesia has collapsed, causing two fatalities.

Looking at the photo that I have received, it was the 1,250-tonne XGC16000 crawler crane that has been delivered to Indonesia in 2014, which was claimed to be one of the largest capacity crawlers exported out from China.

We are expecting more information and shall update you once we have more information on the incident.
