Huge tools make possible in a few days or hours what used to take hundreds of workers weeks or months.

They operate Germany's largest and strongest machines. With courage and sure instinct, they control machines weighing tons with millimetre precision. What do the men have to bring along if they want to operate Germany's largest machines safely and how are such mega-aggregates manufactured? The German mechanical engineering industry is world-famous. Men & Machines shows why. Get a glimpse into the production halls of these machines and see engineering at its best.

Without the one-armed giants, nothing works on major construction sites. We take a look at cranes. With a 100 metre long telescopic boom and a maximum load capacity of 1200 tonnes, the nine-axle LTM 11200-9.1 is particularly suitable for the construction of wind turbines.
