After a few frustrating hours it occurred to me to analyse the zip structure. I used the following command: $ zipinfo script.service.autorun.zip and this is what I got. David and Goliath do not wage battle; they rely on each other. But the governance structures and long-term orientation of large companies. An army of startups provided services such as installation and maintenance. A version of this article appeared in the September–October 2000 issue of Harvard Business Review.
Currently at Meyer Turku works are underway on assembly and erection of its new large gantry crane. The main beam (girder) has alredy been positioned across the graving dock. It will be raised and spanned between tops of two vertical frame structures.While difficult financial situation was developing at Vistal and surfaced in the first half of September the Vistal group member companies were performing preparations for expedition of another set of large scale steel structures. This time it were vertical frame structures (“legs”) for the large (“Goliath” type) shipyard gantry crane destined for Finnish buyer that left the port of Gdynia mid-September.
Two large long triangle shaped vertical frame structures have been skidded from Wegierskie quay, where Vistal Stocznia Remontowa (shiprepair yard) operates, onto a heavy-lift deck cargo pontoon-barge Harry (GT 4886, 11 260 dwt). The barge with Kraft tug (35.48 m LOA, 3520 BHP power and 51 T bollard pull) departed the port of Gdynia on September 16 and reached their destination, Turku in south-western Finnland on September 20.
As revealed in april 2016, Konecranes signed a contract to deliver a new 1,200 ton “Goliath” gantry crane to Meyer Turku Oy. The design, precision drive components, electrical installation and automation system and structural components were about to be supplied by Konecranes (which allows to presume that it was Konecranes, who subcontracted construction of vertical frames to Vistal), while Meyer Turku was to manufacture the main girder in its own hull production. The new crane will be taken into use in May 2018. The order also included a modernization of the Turku shipyard’s current 600 ton crane, service and maintenance parts.
Turku shipyard’s CEO Jan Meyer sees the more than EUR 35 million investment as a good example of smart Finnish collaboration and adds: “The first major step of our big investment program for Turku yard is becoming concrete. The new crane will allow for more industrialization and increase output capacity.”
The new 1,200 ton gantry crane together with the old 600 ton crane will triple the shipyard’s lifting capacity per day and will allow building and lifting bigger blocks with more outfitting.
The new Goliath crane will be equipped with Konecranes TRUCONNECT® Remote monitoring, allowing Konecranes to offer expertise and help to reduce unplanned downtime, even in the harshest conditions.
Meyer Turku Oy employs 1,500 persons and specializes in building highly complex, innovative and environmentally friendly cruise ships, car-passenger ferries and special vessels. Together with two sister shipyards in Germany, Meyer Werft in Papenburg and Neptun Werft in Rostock, Meyer Turku is one of the world’s leading cruise ship builders. The successful shipbuilding tradition in Turku has been continuing since 1737. The company is currently building cruise ships for TUI Cruises and a fast ferry for Tallink. The company will also build two cruise ships for Costa Crociere.
Konecranes is a world-leading group of Lifting Businesses™, serving a broad range of customers, including manufacturing and process industries, shipyards, ports and terminals. Konecranes provides productivity-enhancing lifting solutions as well as services for lifting equipment and machine tools of all makes. In 2015, Group sales totaled EUR 2,126 million. The Group has 11,900 employees at 600 locations in 48 countries.

Beetle tank[edit]
Can someone please verify that the Goliath is actually the same as the Beetle tank with a citation? Thanks! Tntdj (talk) 18:52, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
Uncited D-Day addition[edit]
A few were also seen on the beaches of Normandy during D-Day, though inoperative because the command cables were cut by the artillery barrages. At first their purpose was not wholly clear to the GIs, until one of them dropped a grenade into one and killed him and a dozen of his fellow soldiers.
'Though inoperative' means what—they all were rendered inoperative on the way to their targets? Were the Goliaths sitting out with their cables extended during the pre-assault barrage, or was artillery brought to bear on them? Does GIs imply they were only used on the U.S. landing beaches? Does 'killed him' refer to killing the Goliath, or does that mean a GI 'killed himself' and a dozen of his comrades, and how did the grenade get inside the armoured Goliath?
Please provide a citation and clear up the ambiguity. —MichaelZ.2006-08-14 05:29 Z
3D renderings[edit]
Several 3D renderings and a model made with BRL-CAD are available here. http://brlcad.org/gallery/s/renderings/goliath/
Warsaw Uprising?[edit]
Goliaths were used most notoriously in the Warsaw Uprising of 1944, as Wehrmacht and SS units were deployed to crush fierce Polish resistance by the Polish Home Army (Armia Krajowa). As the Poles had only a small number of antitank weapons, volunteers were often sent to cut off the command cables of the Goliath before it reached its intended target.
One, I challenge the 'most notoriously'. Actually I could not find references to this 'notorious' use that weren't back-references to this WP article; neither the German nor the English article of the uprising makes any mention of Goliaths. Note that I don't challenge the use of Goliaths in Warsaw, just its 'notoriosity' (e.g. when compared to other, heavier weaponry employed), and the amount of weight given to the uprising in the article.
Two, I challenge the necessity, and indeed effectivity, of 'antitank weapons' (Bazooka? AT gun?) against a moving target of about 85x60cm. The ideal weapon against a Goliath would probably be an anti-tank rifle...
I'd like to see some sources (other than the 'Kanal' dramatic re-enactment), or alternatively recommend cutting back that paragraph to 'Goliaths were also deployed against the Polish resistance during the Warsaw Uprising 1944', full stop. -- DevSolar (talk) 11:53, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
'tracked mine' name?[edit]
What's the source for this? I can find none, and no German source for any phrase that translates to anything near. The British equivalent, the Mobile Land Mine, does have a similar name, but that's quite a different device. Is this a just a wikineologism? Andy Dingley (talk) 09:59, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
Article was probably created under this name and this was never changed. Suggestions for better name ? --Denniss (talk) 11:43, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
Springer (tank) has much the same problem.
I'd be happy with 'Goliath demolition vehicle' or 'Goliath charge carrier' (from Ladungsträger). I don't like 'explosive tank' as that is a mis-translation of sprengpanzer. The Americans did call Goliaths 'tanks' though, at least in public newsreels [1] - also doodlebugs. There's no indication (as claimed in the article) that is was ever called the 'Beetle', that would be the British equivalent. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:54, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
