- To The Top Crane | Building A Concrete Bridge | Tandem Crane Lift
In this video, we use a Tadano 180g-5 and a Liebherr LTM 1160 to tandem pick concrete bridge girders/beams. The bridge was constructed with nine girders/beams in three spans, ranging in weight from 46,000 pounds to 86,000 pounds. The girders/beams are constructed from pretensioned, precast concrete.

At 26:14, "That wind out of the North is cold." I live in the NORTH, and I work on a stand-up rig, I am SO jealous of your heated and air conditioned cab. I'm freezing my butt off four months out of the year. I used to really like winter, but at 60, I can't remember why.
You must have had a good year, and to busy to post videos. Let's hope it continues! I'm looking forward to more. Take Care!
I worked a wreck years ago, driver turned the beam over on i24 interstate ramp.....all the rebar eyes kept breaking out and we were using 4 eyes at a hook....beam was cracked anyway.....we cut it in 4 pieces and they took it back to plant..... seen them on roadway before with a 10 wheeler gutted chassis under the rear with a guy sitting under the beam steering the rear end.....amazed he wore goggles and a helmet.....
IIRC from my tech-writing days, all girders are beams, but not all beams are girders. I was never entirely clear on the distinction and I'm still not after googling it, as I've found at least three different explanations. I'm pretty sure, however, that either word would be correct here. As always, enjoyed the video. A very smooth job.
never realized in tandom lifts one crane will pull the other around sometimes as you did in this video. Learned something new! Great video, have a safe and happy holidays!
Great job. Thanks
Thank you and many thanks for watching! 🏗
Hey Andy, how you been?
@@MuddyfeetConcretePumping I'm walking on my own now. It's been a hard 4 months. I've been meaning to reply on your channel but haven't been on much. Merry Christmas to ya Jeff
Andy B merry Christmas to you andy and your family. I’m glad your doing better. Keep up the fight.
Nice work.
Thank you! Many thanks for watching! 🏗
I love the way you call the tandem
Hello my friend it's great, greetings crane operator from west africa..
Another awesomely satisfying video Jimmy
Thank you! Many thanks for watching! 🏗
You are so smooth with all that weight on the hook
G’day from the Illawarra region of Australia. I love your videos. I have loved watching cranes since I was knee high to a grasshopper. Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year to you and your family.
Hello from Missouri, USA. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours! Many thanks for watching! 🏗
Cranes are really awesome ......:-)
Thanks for sharing, Jimmy.
So keen to learn how to operate a crane here in New Zealand and rigging
Thanks for sharing this. I enjoy watching a REAL crane operator! Stay safe! I did notice a strange bird around the 30:00 mark, oh its one of those flying cameras!
There are many "REAL" crane operators out there. Lots of them, much better than myself. But, I do appreciate the compliment and kind words 🙂. It was indeed a drone flying around. Many thanks for watching! 🏗
@@ToTheTopCrane I was working at a soybean processing plant during an upgrade on the rail dump. During an install of precast funnels under the track the crane operator was swinging in a spout over people waiting in the pit to receive it while talking on his cellphone. Pointed this out to a company bigwig and he just turned away. The company is one of the big ag company's and was always about safety until the plant went down.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year , Jimmy
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you as well! Many thanks for watching! 🏗
Awesome video. Tandem picks are always fun. The contractor has a nice safety program haha. Have a Merry Christmas everyone.
Nice smooth job. No drama involved.
Nice team work Jimmy. Glad to see you are back. Merry Christmas
Working with friends you know must be nice. Are there ever lifts where you say I am not working with them again?
Well that is some fine tag team crane operation if I've ever seen it before LOL
nice to see a video again and have a merry xmas
Another great video from you Jimmy 👍👍👍. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Smooth operating to you and your friend From Absolute crane! Talk him into making a you tube channel. I’m laid off from the covid pandemic and when I’m not sitting in the crane I watch videos of others sitting in the crane. Keep them coming!
Great work....have a good Christmas and new year 👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Jimmy, See you next year 🙋♂️
Hope you and yours have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year as well! Many thanks for watching! 🏗
Great to see you post another video. Was that your drone I saw looking out the cab on the last pick. Merry Christmas to you and yours!!
I know it's been a while since I posted last. Thanks for being patient. That is not my drone. But, I might have access to the drones sd card. Merry Christmas to you and yours as well! Many thanks for watching! 🏗
What is the tolerance in placing those beams ? centimeters ? millimeters ?
That I don't know. From the cab, it looks like fractions of inches. They are typically pretty precise when I set them. I've had to pick them back up at times, just so they could move them almost not at all. Many thanks for watching! 🏗
love these videos, trying to become a crane operator myself, keep em coming
Best of luck to you in your endeavor! Crane operation is very rewarding and sometimes stressful at the same time. If I can help with your quest, let me know. Many thanks for watching! 🏗
@@ToTheTopCrane will do, thanks
To The Top Crane I think it’s more stressful when you own thee equipment and are liable for the damages if anything goes sideways....
Sir Jimmie !!!! Great video & saw a drone in there !!!! Have Good ""Holidays "" & waiting to see more !!!! ""KEEP IT SAFE "" !!!!!
That second truck looks like a Christmas 🎄 with all them lights on it which I love
👌👍
Merry Christmas Jimmy
👍👍
Many thanks for watching! 🏗
Always amazes me how they can build the abutments on each side and have the beams fit right on. Great Video, always fascinated by bridge building, and water tower building (hint hint) 😉😆
I think they live by the adage "measure twice, cut once". Lol. The water tower video will be up this weekend. I'm guessing you may have been one who was welding on the water tower? Many thanks for watching! 🏗
We engineers get it right occasionally with diligent work and communication with the construction crews. I was never involved in bridgework but I did steel detailing in college and I've been involved with designing and installing large machine tools that need a base that was 2 stories deep. It's very satisfying when everything drops together perfectly with no shims or rework.
My hats off to you engineers! I trust engineers with my life everytime I sit in the seat of that crane. 🏗
@@ToTheTopCrane nope the only welding I do is when a live wire touches something it’s not supposed to ⚡️⚡️💥. Just fascinated with water tower construction!
That doesn't sound like a very good kind of welding. 😂
Another job well done. Was that a drone during the last pick?
Hi Jimmy, Great video! Interesting to see that drone flying around capturing the moment too. Just wondering if this was a bridge replacement due to the floods? Always loved that low lying farmland along the rivers, very productive land. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year too to you and your family and the To The Top Crane subscribers.
This bridge is replacing a very old, 8 ton capacity, iron bridge. Nothing flood related. The bottom ground around the rivers is definitely fertile and productive. But, risky as well. Merry Christmas and happy New Year to you and yours as well! Many thanks for watching! 🏗
@@ToTheTopCrane The flats around a river risky? Naturally, they are also known as the flood plains. As much as the people living in those areas hate the floods, those same floods are why the soil is so fertile.
The Ashwan Dam in Egypt showed how the natural flooding cycle is what made Egypt a food exporter in the times of the Pharaohs. The chemical fertilizers used after the floods were controlled hurt the soil.
Is that actual speed on the lift, or did you speed up the video?
A few clips I sped up. Most of them are actual speed. Many thanks for watching! 🏗
OK, On the 2nd lift I see the guys moving real fast.
The light green rebar? Is it coated for non-corrosion purpose? If rebar is not bent in end we use plastic pierce protection caps during building here in Sweden.
And why bother about the cab windshield - it's only a Liebherr, even if it's a friends! :D God Jul & Happy holidays, Jimmy and friends!
Is there much conversation at the shop weighing the various merits and differences between the Leibherr and Tadano cranes?
We don't own the Liebherr. But, the different manufacturer conversations happen a lot across the industry. Really, it's like the Ford, Chevy, Dodge debates. Everyone seems to have their own opinions. Tadano and Liebherr both build great machines. Many thanks for watching! 🏗
Nice job! Was that a replacement bridge, a new bridge on an old road, or complete new road and bridge?
Thank you! It is a replacement. The old bridge was a VERY old, iron bridge with an 8 ton capacity. Many thanks for watching! 🏗
Thanks for a great vid Jimmy! Is there a clutch mechanism on the Tedano that allows it to weather vane so that the other crane can pull you around like it was or is he pulling against the hydraulics of your crane too? It would seem to me like there must be in order to do that maneuver but I thought Iwould ask. Merry Christmas to you and your family!!
Would love to see the footage from the drone spotted at 30:00.
Good job 👏
How much weight was that?
And How much per leg?
And one more question
How much capacity of your sling is?
yup you can keep your set I have no interest. I'll stick to boats even though it wether sucks this time of year
I made it to 3rd pick
I'm tired. I'll watch the rest tomorrow 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Who's running the drone around 30:00?
What size is the Tadano, what's the line pull?
You ever think about starting your own crane company? Or any business?
Nobody tied off; nobody even wearing a harness or lanyard; not a static line in sight anywhere on piers or girders. Where the hell is OSHA? Otherwise, a very professional looking operation.
Retired ironworker.
I'm just watching cranes. I'm sure you've been on jobs that look worse than this with way smaller canes doing the job.

I think we know each other. I was one of the foreman (now retired) with Hi-Boom Erecting. You're right about the under-craned part; Lunda was by far the worst offender, often supplying a pair of clanky old 5299s to do a job that should have been equipped with two of their Terexs or even something bigger. We spent countless hours mucking around, filling, cribbing, etc., getting those old junkers close enough to do the job. Tripping over a dollar to save a dime, it looked like to me. Yet they were fanatic about hard hats, tie-off, etc.
@@ckuehncnwhsyt I saw your name and profession and figured it was you. Last company I worked for was new to the union in 2013 when I started but Lunda was the safest company I worked for. Seems weird but formans call the shots. I should have went to a company like the guy in this video. Before the moratorium on 82W girders me and the other operator had to sign papers saying we knew saftey factors could not be maintained and we took responsibility. We did it like idiots but it worked out. 200,000 girders with 2 110 terex's. I have never heard tracks pop and creak that bad on pick and carry.
@@williamrosenow6176
Bill, I disagree about Lunda being the safest. Kramer and ZT had them beat all to hell in every aspect of safety. Lunda talked a good safety game, and I'll admit they were hell on hardhats, tie-off, hi-viz, life jackets, etc. - stuff that was highly visible to the casual bystander or even a mildly astute observer But they were abysmal when it came to adequately and safely equipping jobs. Unbelievable, some of the junk equipment, including and especially cranes, with which we had to make do. And everything was always in a huge hurry - no time for any difficulties that might arise - which regularly resulted in some unsafe practices.
somebody got drone footage
They did indeed. Rumor has it that I may have access to the SD card that was in the drone. Many thanks for watching! 🏗
I see at 29:00" you could have got some drone footage from someone Jimmy.
You have good eyes! There may indeed be some drone footage of this job. Many thanks for watching! 🏗
@@ToTheTopCrane some of us watch the whole video lol.
Thank you! It definitely helps the channel when the whole video is viewed.
Why on all your videos, no one has hard hats or proper clothing. Everyone looks like cowboys.
btw, your videos are awesome and you're a good operator.
