The Fairfield Titan was a giant cantilever crane at BAE Systems' Govan shipyard, and the largest such crane on the River Clyde until it was demolished in 2007.[1]

History

The crane was built by Sir William Arrol & Co. at the Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Company yard in 1911, and was first used to install machinery in HMS New Zealand (1911).[2][3]

The Titan was last used six weeks before its demolition, assembling a Type 45 destroyer.[4] Despite being category A listed, permission was granted for its removal as it was hindering development of the yard, and it was dismantled over a period of three weeks and recycled.[4]

The crane features in the song Shipyard Apprentice by Scottish traditional music group Battlefield Band.[5][6]

Design

The original Шаблон:Convert tested capacity was uprated to Шаблон:Convert Шаблон:Circa, and then later derated to Шаблон:Convert.[7] Two Шаблон:Convert electric motors powered the main hoist, and a Шаблон:Convert motor actuated an auxiliary hoist to allow loads of up to Шаблон:Convert to be lifted at the maximum radius of Шаблон:Convert.[8]
