Eriksbergs bockkran, Industrial gantry crane in Eriksberg district, Gothenburg, Sweden.
The red metallic structure reaches 84 meters high and stands next to the Göta Älv river at the former Eriksberg shipyard location.
The crane was manufactured by NOHAB in Trollhättan during 1968 and transported via barge down the Göta Älv river for assembly at Eriksberg shipyard in 1969.
This preserved crane structure represents the transformation of Gothenburg from a major shipbuilding center to a modern residential and business district.
The structure functions as a platform for bungee jumping activities, making it the highest jumping point in Sweden at 84 meters above ground level.
The crane remains the only complete gantry crane in Sweden, as similar structures from other shipyards have been removed or relocated from their original sites.
