Join Joe in this exploration of a true titan of modern engineering: the world's largest crane. With a lifting capacity of 5,000 tons—equivalent to hoisting a SpaceX Starship Heavy—this giant ring crane at Rotterdam's Mammoet headquarters is a true powerhouse that plays a crucial role in the renewable energy revolution, building massive offshore wind turbines that help combat climate change. And yes, they may let Joe drive it.

CLARIFICATION (Aug. 7, 2024): In this video, we used "largest" to describe the physical size of the crane. We understand from subject matter experts that cranes are more usually classified based on lifting capacity, so we wanted to note here that there are a few cranes with higher lifting capacities. We all have even more reason to feel hopeful about climate change and the potential positive impact of enormous cranes!

Hosted by Joe Hanson from Be Smart, Overview uses stunning 4k drone footage to reveal the natural and human made marvels shaping our planet--from a 10,000-foot view--literally.
