The twin traveling cranes Samson and Goliath at the Harland & Wolff shipyard dominate the skyline of East Belfast. They were manufactured by Krupp industries of Germany and erected in the early 1970's. Goliath is the only one of the two in use now, it has a lifting capacity of 840 tons which it can lift to a height of 70 metres (229 ft). Both cranes straddle the dry-dock which is 93 meters (305 ft) wide. Goliath generates its own electric supply. The driver gains access to the crane via a electric lift which is powered by a supply on the quay when its own generators are stopped.
