That's the beauty and engineering genius of it, Dave: it folds into a compact, towable load on its own road tyres.

Erecting it is done by unfolding the legs, then a couple of men winding crank handles bring the scissor legs together and its up. Quite an amazing piece of kit.

There are a number of images in the book showing the crane being erected.
