VL-10000 | Heavy Lifting Gantry Crane
When the difference between a gantry crane and a skyscraper becomes less and less obvious.
This is the VL-10000 Goliath, Aptly named due to it's sheer size and lifting capacity.

Backstory
In early 2030, it was apparent that the transportation of tall, heavy or abnormal loads at ports and depots was increasing and so was the demand for a more tolerant crane. Many designs were pitched including the use of the traditional crawler crane. However one crane stood out above the rest for its sheer size. The design dubbed the XX-10000 Supergiant. Many test models were built of varying sizes to research the capabilities and plausible use cases for such a crane before eventually a first production prototype was constructed in Q4 of 2031. After several rigorous tests involving the Lifting of a 140000 SKg test weight it was decided that it shall be put into production.
