James Bond (Daniel Craig) atop a Comedil 5211 tower crane in Casino Royale

The film, released this month, focuses on James Bond’s early career. In one scene, Bond, played by actor Daniel Craig, fistfights on the jib of one of the towers. In another, he jumps from one crane to the other.

The UK’s City Lifting supplied one of the two Comansa 5211 flat-top tower cranes. The other came direct from the factory in Huarte, Spain.

The sequences were filmed in the Bahamas.
