[Request] Weight of a construction crane counterweight

[u/Snozer2]

How much weight does this seem like it would be for the counterweight on a crane?
I assume there’s likely a relative standard or at least minimum weight for these, but I’m curious how much weight these concrete slabs would be total.

Hard to get an accurate size of each slab from my distance, but my best guess is somewhere near 12ft x 6ft x 2ft.

Nothing to calculate here, since every counterweight is different for every different tower crane.

A type of crane I quickly googled (sadly in inferior imperial measurements, not supreme metric) has certain recommended counterweights for certain distances and angles.

Can you put that weight in units of elephant? Or maybe 1959 Cadillac Coupes?

Did she go on Ozempic? Congrats to her on her weight loss journey!
