  • Exceptional Engineering: Mega Cranes
    Higher, stronger, more robust: Crane builders excel with superlatives. Loads are getting heavier and need to be lifted to hard-to-reach places. One of the big crane companies in this country is Knaack Krane in Hamburg. The company currently has about 60 different cranes, the largest of which can lift up to 750 tons. It takes a long way through planning and installation until the machine is used for the first time - the report accompanies the creation of a mega crane.

    Some really great looking machines in this video. I have watched the smaller cranes being picked up by progressively larger cranes, several times. It is an extremely impressive demonstration. I think I remember one demonstration where the largest crane is lifting and holding a total of 4 cranes that are each one lifting a smaller crane, down the line. For a company to sponsor a demonstration like this, they would have super confidence in their engineers, designs, operators, riggers, materials, and assembled machines, when one weak point, or mistake could mean a monumental disaster.

      @@FirstNameLastName-js3ry No, I like having physical things too, although it is still somewhat satisfying to build cranes on the computer (See my UA-cam channel) That is why I like it when companies have physical paper catalogs instead of online ones. I am actually building a Lego crawler crane! It is really tiny compared to even small crawler cranes, since it started out as a medium sized excavator, and it has been turned into a material handler right now, but I can easily switch it between material handler, crane, and excavator. I am sure I would really like having a diecast construction equipment model, but I have looked at the prices and the models cost about as much as the real cranes!

    Amazing the way cranes are built. Very precision built from computer drafting to testing. I was a operating engineer crane operator in the 70s, 80s 90s and early 20s before retiring. Most operators started as crane oiters as apprentice to crane operators. All cranes in cab has a load chart but throughout years working every work site has its challenge and physics. The operator attitude, physical and experience must be in top shape. I wish they had something like this back than. But now cranes are bigger, heavier, and booms are higher can't see the job and. Amazing !!!!!

    The “so-called” narrater should really do more research on the proper terminology of cranes. Just say what it is or use the slang terms that are most often referred, and stop saying SO-CALLED! Please
    “The so-called Operater is going to use the so-called crane to lift the so-called load onto the so-called work.”

      Why do you think anyone except you should do any "research" It's obviously being translated from German to English, and there are words that either don't translate properly or they are using German laymans

    *•* [Trusses] are sensitive to damage when loads are not applied at the anticipated joints. They are especially sensitive to loads on the middle of the bars;
    *•* Trusses usually have little or no redundancy, so failure in one part can lead to total structure failure;

    Jeff Boat had these very large cranes that sat way up high. They rolled on rail road tracks and were used to build barges and tow boats. When I was a child mom would take me to the flood wall to watch them work. It's a fond memory. One day somehow one of the cranes, there were several got yanked over and crashed, killing the operator. I believe the load got to going down too fast and when the brake was applied it toppled the damn thing. It takes awhile to fall over from 100 ft high, it must have been a terrifying last few seconds of life. I don't believe I have the nerve to operate a crane, huge stuff gives me the willies.
