The Regina upgrader was built in Japan. It was shipped up to Lake Superior via the St. Lawrence Seaway and lifted off the ship via a special heavy crane, erected at the Duluth Port Authority. It moved to Regina via an extra long rail car that could lean right or left to keep the upgrader from pulling the car over in turns. The big blue crane is still at Duluth.

Coke drums tend to be very, very heavy. They can be one of the biggest lifts in refinery expansions.

This one is 550 tons.
