About this model
A large grey overhead gantry crane with a heavy beam, trolley and hook block. It is the kind that runs along a factory ceiling. It is huge, about 41 ft long, 13 ft wide and 17 ft tall. Its paint is worn and the hook hangs low.
Use it above a factory floor, shipyard or hangar. It dominates the space and shows heavy work goes on here. In play it can carry a load across the room, drop something on a foe or give a climber a high route above the fight.
Ideas for the table
- The crane swings a steel container across the factory floor during the fight.
- A rogue runs along the crane beam to reach the control booth.
- The villain dangles a hostage from the crane hook.
