At Weanack Land, we house some of the most powerful lifting machinery on this stretch of the James River in Virginia, including two 300-metric ton Liebherr Mobile Harbor Cranes. These formidable machines have seen action in complex tasks, such as the lift-off and assembly of major components from international ships, right here on our dock. Once assembled, these gargantuan cranes were rolled onto deck barges for transportation to their final destinations at busy maritime ports, contributing to the efficient handling of large volumes of containers.
Weanack Land is proud of our exceptional capabilities and state-of-the-art machinery. Here's some examples of our equipment and team in action, alongside our great partners.
This video is from Crofton Industries, one of our many great partners! Here at Weanack Land, home to Port Tobacco in Charles City County, VA, we are proud to have played a key role in the successful execution of an intricate heavy lift project. Crofton, utilizing their 350-ton floating crane derrick, The Samson, expertly lifted, transported, and placed a newly assembled 280-ton ship loader from our port facility.
With meticulous orchestration, this colossal ship loader was transported down the James River and seamlessly placed on a new pier. This impressive project demonstrates the functional versatility and strategic advantage of Port Tobacco, and reaffirms our commitment to supporting large-scale operations that contribute to the growth and efficiency of maritime logistics.
The major components of two 300-metric ton Mobile Harbor Cranes were lifted off of international ships by crawler cranes on the dock here, assembled on the facility, and later rolled-on to deck barges for transport to their final destinations at maritime ports handling large volumes of containers. lift-off, assembly, roll-on.

A dozen 22’x70’ beer vats were lifted off of barges mid-streamed from a ship at anchorage downriver to rest in cradles in the laydown yard for special road transport inland to breweries.
Several hundred sub-assemblies from a ship from Thailand steel plant were lifted off in bundles, brought to the laydown yard to be assembled on fabrication tables into larger components of utility-scale baghouses (very large air-pollution control equipment for a coal-burning power plant). The components were then lifted onto barges for installation at the final destination.
