Harland & Wolff
Feature of the Belfast skyline, the two Harland and Wolff Goliath type cranes have a span of 140 metres and a lifting height of 70 metres. They can each lift a load of 840 tonnes, and together, can lift 1600 tonnes.
Samson and Goliath are twin shipbuilding gantry cranes situated at Queen's Island, Belfast, Northern Ireland. The cranes dominate the Belfast skyline and are landmark structures of the city. Goliath stands 96m tall, while Samson is taller at 106m. At the time Harland & Wolff remained one of the largest shipbuilders in the world, with the yard's eventual demise some years off.
