- Mobile Cranes
World's largest mobile crane rolls into power plant
From five miles away, it looks like a huge Ferris wheel next to the power plant. Up close, the Mammoet crane, nicknamed "MoMo," looks like what it is - the largest mobile crane in the world. Area residents have heard tidbits about the crane for weeks from the 240 employees at the Ameren (formerly CIPS) Energy Generating Coffeen Power Station. It took 169 tractor-trailers to bring the crane to Montgomery County. It was first used in the United States in Louisiana. See photos (2)
