My guess is two electric luffing cranes, similar to what is currently being used at the Calvary site.

The crane base disappeared out of sight on Thursday, so I believe it might be inside the old Telephone Exchange building. There is a hole in the building the right size for a crane.

Looks like just the one crane for this site, given its location in the centre.

See crane thread for more pictures. I think they only need one crane because this one can reach the whole site.

Depends entirely on the lifting capacity of the crane. Whilst the boom may be able to reach most of the site, that would be at maximum extension, of which reduces the maximum amount of weight that can be lifted.

We'll have to wait and see.

It's nice to see crane activity right in the heart of the city, lets hope there's more in the not too distant future.
