A Kiwi friend of mine said she is Steam Crane RAPAKI, Built in Scotland by Fleming & Ferguson cost of 42, 000 pound.she was delivered 9th April 1925.She was retired from service in 1988, purchased by NZNMM 1993. Lifting capacity 80ton @ 50 ft radius, Steve said he had used the services of this crane and at the time thinks the SWL was 70ton. Will have more info and photos when we return from NZ.
