The biggest land based crane in the world is the Lampson LTL 3600 with a capacity of seven million lbs. Biggest mobile (hydraulic/telescopic boom) crane in the world is the Zoomlion QAY 2000 with a four million lb capacity. Sea cranes are considerably larger and I cannot tell you what is the biggest.
