- In this video we travel east to Santa Rosa Beach, Florida to assist Brooks Construction with setting 85+ precast concrete wall panels.
Could you make a video to show us how to put the hook and also make a video telling us about the basic things that a crane operator has to consider
what do you want to know about the hook? i was in a spot where i didn't know how to do it myself, i am willing to help you.
@Pat Reynolds I’m a 1st yr apprentice from Toronto, Canada. Just wanted to say thanks for the videos and I’m glad I found your channel!
How is it going ?
Please keep the content coming
Wery nice video it's wery relaxing,beautiful crane, and you are wery good crane operator. In Serbia i work same job, and when I'm sitting at home and drinking coffe then I like to watch someone else work the same job I do during the day:). It is wery, wery strange...
Man as far as the driver backing into your rig, log it as cosmetic repair, bill it to the customer and let them figure it out from there lol
Why would the driver keep backing up to you without a spotter?? How much did the concrete panels weigh?
Good question, Matt. That was the first thing I asked him, too. The bigger panels were just under 60k lbs each.
@@Reynoldscraneservice i made sure to have my oiler or i watch the drivers getting close to me. And if i was the driver i waited til someone was watching me, so as to not piss iff the operator of that crane. Great vids. Maybe drop a little info on the specs, boom length, counterweight, load weight. Thank you
@@mattvega6941 there were people available to spot him, he just super-truckered his way into the back of the crane instead of waiting on the spotter. I was swung over in the cab and didn’t even know he was backing up to me. No worries though it didn’t cause any damage to anything. Thank you for the input! I started to include all of the crane info in this video but I cut it out because I didn’t know how much people cared about the details. I will for sure include them on the next video I put up. Thanks again, man!
@@Reynoldscraneservice your welcome, stay safe, and healthy. Happy new year!
I'm a crane operator that was a former truck driver. Shit like this makes me ashamed to admit I was grouped in the same category. You've got to torture me before I admit I was a trucker. Used to have a proud heritage but thats long gone
But you just admitted
@@timmyingelbrecht6977 I guess I meant in person. Touche' Timmy, Touche'.
Im truckdriver, no need to torture me.@@russellpeffer7736
Is it great switching for truck driver crane operator do you have videos @russellpeffer7736
@@MistHashira.ESslayer I send things via Snapchat but no not on UA-cam. I've been seriously considering it tho. There's a surprising amount of similarities between the two
Oh man that was a classic!!! For what ever reason truckers and crane operators are like oil and water lol… until one needs the other.
That guy hit you hard! Bet he blamed the spotter. Yet do we get to blame our banksman?
I paused this at 8:19 so forgive me if you cover the topic. Would you take us through the process of centering your radius when using two winches?
For context when a crane starts to pick up a load the hook always hangs plumb from the boom tip. As the load comes up the crane operator or signal guy can “read” the rigging the figure out what adjustments the crane needs to make to pick up centered.
Using two hooks changes this. I have a video of me two hooking a tank but these panels are on another level.
Thanks bud
IUOE Local 12 SoCal baby!
To get centered over the load, I just hang both sets of rigging over the panel, and get a good estimate of where the COG is. On this particular job the signalman was provided by the customer and wasn’t much help so that was the best way for me to make it work.
When they were ready for me to raise the panel I picked up around 90% of the weight of the load and really slowly started to take the rest of the weight. If I saw that that the panel wanted to shift away from me I would boom down and hold my load, or do the opposite if it wanted to shift towards me. It worked out pretty well after I got the hang of it.
@@Reynoldscraneservice awesome! Thanks for the info. I started using a go pro at jobs and quickly realized i wasn’t as tech savvy as i thought lol. Finding the time to get different shots and edit all the 8 minute clips was more then i wanted to deal with. Hats off to you and those that do!
@@ryanburbridge Yeah I understand that. Right now I’m just videoing a couple jobs here and there but lately I’ve been stuck in plants so no photography. And as far as editing them I just edit when I’m stuck in a hotel room or on a super slow job, that’s the only way I’ve found time for it.
Nice video.
Nice video! Why can’t you swing the jib? Or why’d you have to store it?
I can’t remember. It was either the jib had to come off to get the axle weights right to go into Florida or it may have been my permit was only for an indivisible load only. Meaning everything that can be removed must be removed. One of the two.
Good , like
Al gruista...quando stai fermooo. Ripitturati le zavorre...🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍
Where is part 2 of the aspalt plant?
I didn’t go back out there. They sent an 80 ton and a 110 ton picker to finish up
amazing work. but seeing people near the load and standing in the zone where it could fall and crush them, not what i like to see.
Yeah I understand it’s not my favorite either but for those panels to be set and fine tuned they have to have hands and pry bars on them.
BTW there is no bridge like that in the opening in Santa rosea Beach Florida I live in the area stop telling bull
What? I may have pulled a clip from a different job to add to the video but this project was certainly down there.
You gotta get rid of the music.
Great vide,, in the uk, our cranes can't use two blocks together, we would be given a 15 ton+ chain block to pitch the panels, so time consuming and unnecessary hard work. Takes seconds to turn stand it up with two hook blocks. 🪝
