That is an easy question to answer, it’s the UK and Hinckley in Somerset. It even has a name “Big Carl” named in honour of the company founding father. How big is Carl? If I say he dwarfs Canary Wharf Tower in London then you might have an idea but his official height is two hundred and fifty metres tall.

It’s unlikely that you’ll need a Davit Crane that big, unless you’re planning one of the biggest construction projects in Europe. You would be better off contacting a firm like https://www.gmh.co.uk/davit-cranes/ instead.

What is Big Carl doing in Somerset that requires him to be as big as a skyscraper and be able to lift five thousand tonnes in one go? Put simply, he is building the future of Britain’s nuclear power industry in the shape of Hinkley Point C. This is a new reactor that will provide power for decades.

Even more impressive Carl can move! He has ninety six wheels to do it and 12 engines to power it. To stop it falling over when it lifts something it has 52 counterweights, all 100 tones each.
