The two cranes used four specially designed guide poles to place the final two buildings. The GMK 7450 was equipped with its main boom and 120t counterweight giving it a maximum radius of 12m. The LTM 1500 had a 165t counterweight and 21m luffing jib. Whilst the AC 700 was set up with a main boom, guyed boom and 160t counterweight.
The firm said that initially, the job was calculated with a 1200t crane in mind, but that a duo-lift turned out to be more effective and profitable. Loading, transporting and lifting the 6 houses had to be done in one day, which the company managed to achieve. The first house was lifted at 6am by the GMK 7450 and loaded on the transport. The LTM 1500 and the AC 700 took the load from the transport 100m further. The transport returned to for the next house while the two cranes put the it into the water. After the second and the fourth lift, the GMK 7450 moved from location so it was close enough to lift the next two loads. The last house was put on to the guide poles at 3pm, which allowed the demobilisation of the cranes to begin.
