Hello group, its been a while since I posted anything but earlier this week I received some old photos of an oil project that was done here 40 years ago. In among the photos was one or two of a beast of a AKR Rosenkramz crane which I thought might be of interest. What strikes me is how huge the outriggers and pads are!. I believe it has a 1000t capacity.  Rosenkranz by Paul Moar, on Flickr  Rosenkranz by Paul Moar, on Flickr  Rosenkranz by Paul Moar, on Flickr  31 - Copy by Paul Moar, on Flickr

Hi Paul.
Is the crane a Gottwald looks like one? I learnt to drive in the TK Bebford many years ago they would have to be a
collectors item now I would say.

Hi Leon, I wasn't sure tbh(!) so I did a little digging around and found this website by our friend Emiel which says it was made from different parts like Demag, Krupp etc. It seems she ended up at Baldwins in the UK and named Rosie. I remember seeing a tv programme where the operator was very proud of her and what she could lift!. http://www.emielschoonen.nl/e_rosie.html

sd90, The crane was the K10001 Bohne-Rosenkranz unit, built in 1969. It was designed by Vesper, with its design validated by the Darmstadt University. Thyssen, Demag and Krupp contributed to the construction of the crane for the German craneage company Rosenkranz. For road trips, it was towed by a 5-axle FAUN unit and was resting on 2 independent wheels at front and a 4-line Scheuerle module at rear. To know more about that 1000 tonnes capacity crane (in German, sorry): http://www.hansebubeforum.de/showtopic.php?threadid=2655I think it is today (slightly modified throughout all these years, by its various owners) working as a pedestal crane in an Italian site of the Adriatic coast:  I hope it helps.

Thanks Guy ,Paul,
I have some old pictures of this crane being used in New Zealand I am pretty sure that this is the crane being used
to lift units in a oil refinery.
I cannot post them as I have still not worked out how to post them.
Glad to see that the crane is still being used and not scrapped.
Leon

sd90, I don't think that the Rosenkranz crane ever went to New Zealand. The crane you mention should be the Gottwald MK1000 from Sparrows, which performed several lifts in the Marsden Point Refinery project in New Zealand: https://www.fsumsion.co.uk/photos/montalev-sparrow-projects/new-zealand/https://www.fsumsion.co.uk/photos/montalev-sparrow-projects/I hope it helps.

To complement my response above, pictures of the Rosenkranz K10001 crane (top) and of the Gottwald MK1000 (bottom). The 1st one was built in 1969, the second delivered to Sparrows in 1980:   If you want to know more about the Rosenkranz unit: http://www.emielschoonen.nl/e_rosie.htmlRegards. Guy

Guy This is not the truth Guy! The crane was designed and developed by an extra department of the Bohne-Group. Mr. Vesper "did" only the statics. Manufactured was the crane at Demag Dusseldorf. Krupp and/or Thyssen has nothing to do with this! The University of Darmstadt has only the order to analize the crane, but extensive it was is unknown. I know that this university did measurements with DMS-Stripes to see what about with the deformation path and degree of deformation at the lifting operations.
