Powerhouse 1 has 10 main units with a total rated capacity of 518 MW, and Powerhouse 2 has 8 main units with a total rated capacity of 612 MW. The Bonneville Powerhouse 2 Tailrace Gantry Crane (No. 8) was originally commissioned in the early 1980's. This crane has a 65-ton main hoist and a 15-ton auxiliary hoist as its main features.
