Well dammit, I can't find ANYTHING online about how much a tower crane weighs, rather than its loading/weight capacity for lifting. I would wager it weighs more than 100 tons though, probably a few hundred.
I don't have the time to do a real analysis, but I'll make some numbers up with a smidgeon of logic - take this with a hefty grain of salt. Let's say the tower crane weighs 300 tons. Spidey brought it to a stop from falling, although much of its weight was still supported on the ground. I'd say he's a least a 30-50 tonner, probably much higher.
@nickzambuto: But he pulls it using physical strength.
Are you talking about right in the beginning, before he gets knocked off? It's impressive, but completely unquantifiable. He only held it for a couple seconds, and who knows how much of the weight he was handling. It was still mostly erect, after all.
