Goliath (Rosyth)

[1] The crane was used for the assembly of the Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers.

[3][4] In 2016, it was announced by the Aircraft Carrier Alliance that the Goliath was to be sold.

[1] The crane was built by Zhenhua in China, and shipped to the UK partially assembled.

[2] After being delivered with the girder and upper sections of the legs assembled, the crane was fully erected on the deck of the ship on which it was transported from Shanghai, before being transferred complete onto its rails.

[5] The delivery vessel had to be ballasted considerably in order to ensure a 2-metre (6 ft 7 in) clearance under the Forth Bridge.
