The Hikitia Crane is a self propelled steam driven crane. It is reported that it is the one that is in working order.
It was built in Scotland and has now been in Wellington for over 80 years. For the last few years it has been going through a major refit which is far of being completed.
This work is being carried by a dedicated band of volunteers with the help of some great companies.
It is currently located on Tarinaki Wharf, Wellington Harbour. It is not far from Te Papa, New Zealand’s national museum
It also currently the oldest working example of its type in the world and is capable of lifting most things up to 80 Tonnes.
There are occasions that it will be open to the public.
