    The Skylifter is a helium balloon sky-crane capable of moving and placing equipment and prefab buildings in remote areas. Currently often the only way to get equipment into remote areas is by helicopter, and the largest ones are only capable of  transporting 20 tons. The Skylifter promises a payload of a whopping 150 tons and a range of 1240 miles, meaning that not long from now we may have a less invasive way to place our prefab homes or to supply regions in need after disasters....<br><br><a href='https://inhabitat.com/skylifter-balloon-can-lift-entire-buildings-and-put-em-down-gently/'>READ ARTICLE</a>
