This disclosure teaches a hydraulic crane for removing a horizontal long tube bundle along with its tube sheet from its shell. A winch line, connected to the tube sheet, extracts the tube bundle. The crane has a boom comprising a proximal and a distal section mounted in telescoping relationship. The distal section has a boom point with a pair of hoisting slings depending therefrom to support the tube bundle as it is being extracted from the shell. A pulley suspended from the proximal section aligns the winch line in horizontal orientation. The hoisting slings are spaceable apart sufficiently so that they span a major portion of the length of the tube bundle whereby the tube bundle can be suspended and balanced safely.
