If you need some ideas on moving something like that, PM me. Our company does a lot of heavy equipment moving and we've got some tricks I could share.

hehe...sounds bad doesn't it? It's true though. For instance the spring we installed 2 boilers at a University that each weighed in excess of 80,000lbs.

Um, the 54 skycrane isn't really for lifting really heavy loads, just real outlandish ones. You want heavy lifting, go 53, 47, or some russian jobs.

Edit: and btw, the coast guard uses none of those choppers. They have the dauphin and the modified blackhawk.

How much does this helicopter lift? More than this?

Gotta get you one of these:

MI-12 ("HOMER")
* Following the Mi-6 and Mi-10, the Mil bureau then developed the biggest helicopter ever built, the "Mi-12 Homer", which was given the Soviet designation of "V-12". It was bigger than a Boeing 727 jetliner, and could carry 120 passengers. In 1969, an Mi-12 carried a payload of over 40 tonnes (36 tons) to an altitude of over 2.25 kilometers (1.4 miles).

Work on the Mi-12 was begun in 1965. Two prototypes were built, with the first flying in 1968 and the type making its public debut at the 1971 Paris Air Show, the year after Mikhail Mil died and was replaced by Professor Marat Tischenko.

The Mi-12 was one of the few modern helicopters that used the side-by-side rotor scheme, with a five-bladed rotor at each wingtip, each rotor powered by two Soloviev D-25VF turboshafts with 4,125 kW (5,500 SHP) each, for a total of four engines. The wings had a "reverse taper", meaning they were wider at the tip than at the root. The engine, transmission, and rotor systems were derived from those of the Mi-6. The side-by-side rotor arrangement allowed these systems to be used with few modifications.

The Mi-12 featured tricycle landing gear, with twin tires on each gear assembly, and clamshell loading doors in the rear. It was flow by six flightcrew.

HH-60J Jayhawk. Only has the ability to lift 6,000 pounds externally.

CH-53E Super Sea Stallion can lift 36,000 lbs. externally.
53 Echo

I remember on the USS Inchon, two helos could be used to pull the ship in an emergency. That was impressive.
