The Shard
26/09/2011 by Buildington

Britain's highest ever crane is to be put in place at the building site.

At present the building stands at 244 metres. The crane will be used to complete the top 23 floors from a total of 95.

When fully extended the crane will sit at 317 metres or 1,040 ft above ground level, making it seven metres taller than the building's eventual highest point (310 metres).
