Largest Claw in U.S. Links to Largest Floating Crane on East Coast

Chessy, the 1,000-ton-capacity floating crane cleaning up debris from the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore, has been paired with the largest hydraulic claw in the U.S.

The Chesapeake 1000 barge crane and HSWC500-1000 hydraulic claw started working together April 29 clearing the wreckage from the bridge, which collapsed March 26 after it was struck by the cargo ship Dali.

To watch the crane and claw in action, check out the video above by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Baltimore District.
