The Eriksberg Crane (Swedish: Eriksbergskranen) is a full gantry crane in the Eriksberg district of Gothenburg, part of the former Eriksberg shipyard. It is a listed building, and is considered to be one of the city's main landmarks and an important relic of its industrial and maritime heritage. From 1993 the crane has been used for bungee jumping, and at 84 metres in height, it is Sweden's highest bungee-jumping location. It was recognised as a listed building in 2012.

dbo:abstract
  • The Eriksberg Crane (Swedish: Eriksbergskranen) is a full gantry crane in the Eriksberg district of Gothenburg, part of the former Eriksberg shipyard. It is a listed building, and is considered to be one of the city's main landmarks and an important relic of its industrial and maritime heritage. The company Eriksbergs Mekaniska Verkstad was founded in the Eriksberg district of Gothenburg in 1876, and initially specialised in manufacturing iron and steel parts, but later switched its focus to shipbuilding and built up a sizeable shipyard on the north bank of the Göta Älv, on the island of Hisingen. The main structure of the crane was fashioned in eight sections by NOHAB in Trollhättan in 1968, and was transported by barge down the Göta Älv to Gothenburg. The crane was assembled and erected at one of the dry docks in the Eriksberg shipyard in 1969. The lifting gear was manufactured by Pohlig-Heckel-Bleichert (PHB) in Cologne. However, in the event the new gantry crane only saw a decade of use. Eriksbergs Mekaniska Verkstad was bought out by the Swedish state in 1975, becoming part of the nationalised Svenska Varv, and production at the Gothenburg shipyard was wound down in 1978–1979, with the yard's final vessel, the M/T Atland, being delivered on 15 June 1979. From 1993 the crane has been used for bungee jumping, and at 84 metres in height, it is Sweden's highest bungee-jumping location. It was recognised as a listed building in 2012. Although no longer operational, the Eriksberg Crane is the only remaining full gantry crane in Sweden. There were once similar cranes at shipyards in Uddevalla and Malmö, but the former was scrapped in 1986 and the latter (the so-called Kockums Crane) was sold to Hyundai Heavy Industries in 2002, for the nominal sum of $1 (USD), and transported to Ulsan in South Korea.

  • Eriksbergs bockkran är ett byggnadsminne i Göteborg. Den färdigställdes 1969 som del av Eriksbergs varv. Kranen är byggnadsminne enligt Kulturmiljölagen sedan den 25 juni 2012. Den är rest i anslutning till en tidigare torrdocka med öppet vattenområde i Göteborg. Bockkranen, tillsammans med torrdockan på Eriksberg, är ett av de mest påtagliga monumenten över den storskalighet och rationalitet som präglade varvsindustrin under 1960-talet. Som en symbol för en svunnen varvsepok höjer sig den drygt 70 meter höga och närmare 110 meter breda Eriksbergskranen vid kajkanten. Konstruktör var Pohlig-Heckel-Bleichert (PHB) i Köln. Kranbalken tillverkades av NOHAB i Trollhättan 1968, åtta sektioner totalt, och transporterades med pråm till Göteborg. Bockkranen stod klar 1969 och möjliggjorde montering av fartyg på uppemot 500 000 ton. Att den förklarats som byggnadsminne innebär att den inte får rivas, flyttas, byggas om eller på annat sätt förändras utan Länsstyrelsens tillstånd. Den invändiga färgsättningen i gult och grönt, som är karaktäristisk för industrikonstruktioner från 1960-talet, får inte heller ändras utan tillstånd. (sv)
