Steiger Ferris Wheel

[2] The world's tallest transportable wheel today[update] is the 78-metre (256 ft)[3] Bussink Design R80XL.

[4][5][6][7] Designed by the Steiger showmen company of Bad Oeynhausen, in conjunction with engineering company Dr. Cassens and Jäschke of Bremen, it was built by Kocks, also of Bremen, and is operated by Steiger.

In total, 32 vehicles are needed to transport the entire wheel.

Two of the jackstands supporting the axle also serve as cranes to erect the A-frame.

[9] On October 11, 2010, the wheel collapsed at the Kramermarkt in Oldenburg during deconstruction.
