Visby Harbour Crane Elefanten Paper Model - by Gunnar Sillén

Visby harbour crane "Elefanten" (The Elefant) follows William Fairbairn´s patent from 1850 for a heavy lifting hand powered crane.
It was probably set up in Visby around 1900. It was electrified in 1921 and got the cabin for motor and driver added in the late 1930ies.
The crane is still in use as harbour crane. - Gunnar Sillén

O Guindaste Portuário Visby "Elefanten" (The Elefant) foi construído baseado em uma patente de William Fairbairn, de 1850, de um guindaste pesado movido a alavancas. Provavelmente foi criado em Visby por volta de 1900.
Em 1921 recebeu um motor elétrico e teve a cabine para o motor e para o operador adicionada no final dos anos de 1930. Este guindaste continua em uso até os dias de hoje. -Gunnar Sillén
