Cranes first appeared in ancient Greece over 2,500 years ago, but new research suggests a primitive lifting machine — a kind of forerunner to the crane — was in use around 150 years earlier.
Do you remember how proud you were the first time you built something with LEGO — without instructions — that other people could recognise? We’re sorry to say it was probably complete garbage compared to ShineYu’s fully-functional, remote-controlled Liebherr LTM 1350 all-terrain crane model.
Video: It might seem like remote control cars are where all the real fun’s at, but it’s hard not to be completely wowed by this flawless miniature recreation of a Felbermayr heavy-lifting crane that itself is capable of hoisting over 36kg of cargo.
