A little more than a month before the opening of the Boot Düsseldorf 2013 yacht show, the first large yachts are already being brought to its exhibition area.< /p>
The first to be delivered to the Düsseldorf Exhibition Center was a 22-meter flybridge yacht Mochi Craft Dolphin 74 worth more than 4 million euros.
Yearly, a yellow giant named Big Willi – this gantry crane easily transports loads up to 120 tons of weight from point to point. Big Willi runs on diesel fuel, and its engine power is 200 hp. The extraction of the vessel begins with the supply of special "towels"; under the keel, cables with a diameter of 5 cm lift the load. The forklift has the widest wheels, the width of each of the eight tires of which is 2.2 meters. This work is extremely painstaking and responsible, in which a wide variety of nuances play a role - from the speed of the crane, the accuracy of the distribution of the so-called "towels"; And so on. The further fate of any yacht depends on the correctness of the Big Willi operator’s decisions, the significance of which should not be doubted.
Norbert Pilarsky – and there is the very "ruler" colossus with the speaking name Big Willi. Norbert, by virtue of his experience, seems to be completely calm and confident in his work in any weather and under any circumstances.
