But this machine will carry the launch vehicle for a new project crawler had to upgrade to a 8164 tons carrying capacity instead of 5440 tons.

And promised a video with a model rocket before starting assembly:



As mentioned above, if all goes according to plan, the first launch of a new super-heavy carrier rocket will happen in 2017. Wait is quite a bit.
