Definitely not these guys first rodeo! Through the two parts of this crane erection, I never saw any crew member standing around killing time! They were constantly hard at it, and it was clear that they had no doubt what to do or when to do it! Mad skills by all including the operating engineer running the massive mobile crane! He put every piece spot on! As the first horizontal piece went up with tag line attached, I was anxious to see if they would just unhook it and toss, but being 100% professional in all respects, they hooked it on a sling and sent it back down to the exact spot it was needed next! The crane manufacturers, both mobile and tower, have done a great job of designing these things in an easily assembled/disassembled modular manner! This is massive machinery, but watching the procedures gives the false impression of being Lego like! Nothing could be further from the truth! Great job on these shows btw! Thanks!
Glad to see you back, as usual the videos are first class! Thanks!
Much appreciated!
Hey, my husband ❤ So proud to see him work so hard !
Thank you!! The music was perfect. Those men are a wonder, the design is another. My hat is off to you and those men.
Congratulations on your professionalism!
Beautiful work!
A big hug from Brazil!
See , I told you it was easy .phew I don’t envy those chaps at the top building that monster . It’s all about teamwork and being able to rely on your co worker knowing exactly what to do and when to do it .what ever they pay you it’s not enough. Respect to you all .😊
Great job boys. My son operates a 400 Ton Mobil for Maxim. I’m a retired IBEW Inside Wireman. Construction ROCKS ………. Big Tony
These guys deserve every dollar they get to work on the top of tower !
My anxiety was high, my palms were sweating. I had to fast forward a few times. You would never had found me up there even when I was young!
I always wanted to know how they put together the tower crane and how they dismental. This video is one of the best I have every seen. Hats off to these brave and skilled workers. What a great team work with full safety in vision and practice. Thank you so much for sharing this. I liked this video very much.
I had 40 years working with cranes ,all sorts tower crawler and mobile cranes ,did that job as well erecting cranes , operated cranes with piling rigs cranes on the water on a barge with divers in the water ,and loved every minute of it
I like the guy's red and white striped clown pants with the giant blue pockets .A touch of frivolity punctuating a dangerous and serious job,☺
Un trabajo muy interesante y de primera calidad. Felicidades
Vous êtes des fous volants! C'est magnifique ce travail, en équilibre, précis, rapide, super organisé et très bien filmé. Merci. AMAZING! from Lyon France
These workers are heroes
working on these high environments
Thank you ,
🐺
You’re welcome 😊
This brings back memories for me, in the 1970’s I was part of the rigging team for tower cranes in Sunderland Public Works Department in the North East of England. Not sure my understanding of the risks was as great as it is now, as retired 70 year old electrician. Credit to those who do this work today, be safe and take care.
Great video, workers and music.
That crane on the ground is a fabulous piece of equipment. Very nice and a very skilled operator. Great video thanks
Impressive good working crew of professionals
These guys and gals are God's. I rock climb free solo, and I would never do this. These people rock
Wow, thanks for this!!! I could not look away.
You're welcome!
these men must have nerves of steel. just watching them working at that height make my knees go weak!
Ahh, the memories. Well done both visually and the mix of music was superb!!
Excellent Video, Loved it, I never realized until now how much of a base structure that is done to support the tower.
And done within a week or less of the poured concrete base!! Must be a fast set super strong cement.
Given that there's still some reo protruding through I wonder if it ends up being part of the building structure?
Thanks again. What a nice Christmas week surprise.
You're welcome!
grear show,my hat is off to the iron workers or the assemblers.great job fellers and thanks for sharing
SOB , i had no idea it took tons & tonś of rebar and steel to make that Pad ? What a wonderful team of Men & women it took to put this job together , not counting all the trucks and equiptment , hundreds of hours ? My hats go off to those guys up in the sky Damn , what a team ? Yaĺl kicked Ass on this job, Wonderful work, i sure did enjoy watching both videoś.. Please be safe ? See Ya. Texas

Amazing job! And the fearlessness and agility of the individual erectors is heart-stopping!
Dude with the blue hat and vest up there has some seriously bad ass pants going on 10:30

Awesome video! Alway wonder how Tower Cranes our put together. I can't believe, I watch both part 1 & 2. I learn a lot about them on how they go together. I enjoy the music and the time lapse to.
amazing to see that done! Thanks!
First class squad of erectors. Good luck and stay safe Raymond 🏴
This is the best video I have seen. You did a wonderful job. Pat yourself on the back your team deserve it.
Mesmerizing ‼️. Loved the entire two part video. Understanding all the preparation and support for the cranes, all 3 of them. Under structures, safety for the men working. Beautiful. I would the hospital construction.
Love the music.
Uau........ Da pra cansar só de vê....Vamos respeitar essa turma !!!!
2 video sudah ku tonton semua... waw....sungguh hebat para pekerjanya... Selamat buat semuanya...dan salam buat keluarganya...yang menanti di rumah.👍..🇮🇩🇮🇩
Thank you for The Video. Very interesting
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thing of the planning, engineering and design of these structures
This is art!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 that was awesome from beginning to end!
Видео и музыка огонь!
Хорошо когда на видео налаживают такую прелестную музыку ❗🙏👌
Amazing! Glad to see the riggers use safety lines!
САМ МОНТАЖНИК, НО ЭТИ РЕБЯТА ЗАСЛУЖИВАЮТ БОЛЬШОГО УВАЖЕНИЯ.
These guys must drink a lot of coffee before work. They move so fast. Good Job!!!!!!!!
Is good to see the guy with the stripe jeans wear his safety harness
Great crane driver on the ground.
Thank you for the beautiful video, what an education you have given me. I have learned so much on u tube much more than I ever learned anywhere, including school!
Job well done !!! These are the men who built this country, with all the buildings, roads, bridges, ships and everything we see. Their sweat and hard work MUST be appreciated and celebrated by all and by future generations who are benefitting and enjoying their creations.
Regretfully, our corrupt political leaders and kleptocrats, are destroying our country and its people.
Well done, flawless🏆
Very strong the guys
You have e work medal
Very cool!,
Two day crane assembly
Great 👍🏻 Thanks, I worked this construction for years. Love the videos.
Un gran aplauso para estos hombres que no les hacen falta alas para trabajar 🇲🇽
*HIGH Risk* Operation made simple by:
Good Design
Good Fabrication
Good Materials & Quality Control
Good Planning & Logistics
Excellent Execution with Good Safety Procedures...
... As the height increases - the Risk is elevated -
... --- to the Critical Activities {Control Cubicle} (Cross Beams} {counterweights}
Take another look at 6.33...not good pratice
I've been watching the video and don't want to be smart, but what a fiddling to secure that small white rotating part! ( 4:00 )
that man has to climb around all the time, how hard is it to think that you could make a small balcony around (at the right height! ).
respect for the guys who do the construction work up there!
Greetings from the Netherlands!
Rob
Thanks. Great video :)
You're welcome
Calang calang orang yang berani bekerja ditempat tinggi seperti ini...walaupun ramai orang yang berani kerja pembinaan bangunan yang jauh lebih tinggi dari ini tapi kawasan sekitar luas tidak seperti suasana tempat yang pengendalian kren bangunan yang menggunakan tiang besi yang kecil...syabas diucapkan kepada abang2 pengendali kren bangunan...harap2 sentiasa waspada dan walaupun gaji lumayan yang paling penting keselamatan wajib diutamakan...semoga Allah swt hindari bala bencana dan permudahkan pekerjaan abang2 ini...in sya Allah
i don't know what you said , but i gave you a thumbs up!
Good job 👍
25:10 the clown pants guy is nonchalantly standing atop the crane 280 feet up smoking a cigarette. Probably the only place in the city where you can smoke without getting a ticket.
Smoking a Marlboro red. 🤣
such a high crane turned out)) thank you funny videos are obtained from you
Nice work, if I look at how work is done great. Unfortunately it is too high work for me, afraid of heights.
The adjustment of the outer bridal should have been done on the ground before the outer jib was lifted into place. All the information of where the bridals pin are in the manual for every jib configuration from L1 and longer, someone who was in charge wasn’t paying attention or read the manual wrong that’s why you always check 2-3 times before the any piece leaves the ground.
Osha gonna love this when they get it 😂😂😂
Great work
I always wondered, now I know how they do it. Amazing...
It's really respectable for people working at that very dangerous height, for me personally, it's too scary to look at.
Excellente vidéo, bravo !
Yo no sirvo para montar nada a esas alturas 😮
Nice job
Well done
Ohhhh I adore this . Unfortunately, there is no composition in these beautiful works. I want learn for this
good work mate
Mis Respetos para ustedes es un trabajo de altura , y múy Riesgoso felisidades, Dios me los cuide cada que agan este trabajo , saludos desde Mexicali B C Mexico saludos asta
Does that gap stay where the joint is on the 2 section boom - or is it a jib. Fascinating video.
Grandioso trabajo
Super vidéo merci
Excelente. Parabéns.
Just think of walking on a reilroad track on the ground now raise that track up a hundred feet and see if you can walk that same track up one hundred feet and still walk on it ! Big difference than on the ground ! , amazing !
those workers are core of our modern society
Good job. gods bless.
Good jobs all of you❤
EXCELENTE VIDEO Y BUENA MUSICA
very awesome construction...thank you for sharing the video
Good Fabrication
Awesome Loved it thank you I never realized that Part of the gantry dint connect at the top half way along its length it does at the bottom but not the top Thanks
Agreed, it does look weird with that missing but that link is not required as the stay cables are carring that part of the load. But you are right and and I have never noticed that before on other set ups.
Keep up the amazing content#hospitalconstruction
What a brave man real spider man🕸️🕸️🙏🙏🙏
Music perfect matchings
Thinks for all
What was very interesting. I guess I always thought what was the point of a tower crane if you have a crane that can already reached as high as you need to go from the ground? But what I found really interesting, I always thought these things kind of built upon themselves. Where the cab if the tower crane and motorized elements would go on top of the first section, then it would have some type of climbing mechanism where it would cinch itself up inside the legs, and then pull the outer legs up beside it and swing it in, then when all 4 were in place, the inner legs would release (the cab now on the outer legs), and the cinching apparatus would lift the whole cab, since itself up high again, and then repeat the process
There are several types of tower crane. You have Swan neck tower cranes, Luffing Jib tower cranes, Saddle back tower cranes (in this video), Pedestrian tower cranes (small remote self-erecting). I'm English so, some of these might have different names over the pond. You are correct in what you say. Some can and, do self-build so, to speak. I drove luffing and, saddle back cranes for seven years. I loved every minute of it.
Some types of tower cranes do raise themselves higher. You can see a few examples of that on this channel, including here:

Wow, can you imagine the COST?
