Best Answer

The maximum load that the crane can lift is 18 metric tons (39,690 pounds), but the crane cannot

lift that much weight if the load is positioned at the end of the jib. The closer the load is

positioned to the mast (center of rotation), the more weight the crane can lift safely.

What is the maximum size and weight of a aircraft carrier or battleship or any sea vessel can weigh to still be able to float in the ocean?

There is no maximum theoretically. As long as the weight of the water being displaced is greater than the weight of the ship itself, it will float. That's why a 1 pound steel ball sinks, but a 90,000 ton aircraft carrier made out of the same material floats.

How many tons can an average crane lift?

That depends on the individual crane, the type of crane, the and the load. All lifting devices come with a Manufacturer's Capacity Plate attached to the device. This will give you the maximum load the device will carry at different stages or heights. It will also supply brief "load center" descriptions. this is important as loads lifted off center can cause tipping, structural failure and more accidents. There are many types of cranes too, from the Tower cranes seen in cities, Bridge cranes in factories, Mobile cranes on trucks, Hoists used in Auto shops, Jib cranes used by one person to lift things fast and easy, and ,many others and all lift varying weights.
