Favelle Favco STD2700

When Favco took the order for the World Trade Centre cranes from contractor the Koch Company, it planned the STD2700s to be double the size of the biggest crane it had ever built – the STD750. With the STD2700’s 45t maximum capacity and 45.7m outreach – where it could still lift 14.6t – Koch was able to raise the towers with eight cranes, instead of 12 slow working derricks.
