Great Video of The LIEBHERR LTM 1250-5.1 From Glenn Machine Works of Ocean Springs, MS -- I Sure Hope This Mobile Crane did not get Damaged in the Tornado that Occurred on or about Saturday, March 25, 2023!!!
It depends. Most of us are paid hourly so your gross is really dependent on how many hours you’re willing to work. I would say it ranges from $70,000 to $120,000usd in the states. Maybe more if you’re running specialty equipment
@@Reynoldscraneservice That tracks with my experience as an operator in the US. Also depends where you’re working in the US. Large costal cities will typically pay better than small midwestern towns obviously. It all equals out after taxes and rent/mortgage though lol
@@bills6946 that’s how it is in taxi crane. We didn’t place the units where they were, we just set the crane up where we needed to be. That’s a pretty silly thing to get held up on. That’s a brand new LTM 1250. The machine is designed to swing 360* about a million times so that’s what we do when the job calls for it. 👍🏽
How come you don't stack your weights on the trailer then land them on the deck? 3 part the block and run a pair of 30k endless and you only have to swing once per truckload of weights. I run a 1220-5.2 and it charts 68,000 with no counterweight far enough to load & unload trucks off the sides and rear.
Waste of time to do all that. Putting a 3 part in then taking it right back out to one part for the job. Not to mention all of that is more work for the guys on the ground.
Because it spreads the weight of the machine over 8 axles, rather than only 5. It allows us to abide by specific axle weight requirements for state laws, bridges, etc.
@@gigi-of2tu This varies a lot even between states in the US. I know of at least one state that does not allow boom dollies at all which means anything over ~200t requires the whole boom to be removed for transport.
@gigi-of2tu Europe has much different road laws and weight restrictions than the US. Most states in the US only allow approximately 10 ton per axle. If the gross weight exceeds 10 ton per axle, more axles must be added somehow. Hence the boom dolly. For example in Texas, an LTM-1400 has a weight limit of 90 ton gross so no boom dolly is required, but in Georgia you can't exceed 68 ton gross so we have to remove the boom entirely. It's quite ridiculous, but I will say on some cranes a boom dolly does make the ride much smoother. My LTM-1220 rides much better with a boom dolly than "in the rack" as we call it.
Hey my friend just wanted to ask are mobile crane automatic or manual transmission because I’m getting my license currently and which one should I get? Thank you
Hey man I got a couple questions about setting up. I’m going to be running this crane. I’ve had experience on BIG A/T’s before, but if you could shoot me your email, and help a brotha out I’d appreciate it thanks!
You guy's look like a bunch of professionals
Don’t let the video fool you we are far from professional, haha!
Yet another stellar video. Starting my apprenticeship this year
You need to make more videos brother! Mad entertaining and insightful to watch.
Nicely done!
Thank you sir!
I’ve worked for Glenn crane and rigging before. Good company and good people for sure 👍
In the UK we carry the 4 slabs, 2 cheek weights, tackle box, big hook block and the mats on a single trailer
That’s heavy !!!!
@@TheRoach74 yep! We use 6 axle rear steering trailers
Same in the Netherlands! the roads could take more here i guess..
Love the crane👌👌 we have 2 of them. But with 60 meters jibb. And we need å semi whit a cran to get it on for us..
Liv i Norway

Thank you for the concern but the tornado hit quite a bit further north than where we are. None of the equipment was damaged! 👍🏽
Awesome vid bro!
Well done with the video. Must have taken some time.
OE local 12 SoCal baby
Good crane 😮
I’m looking to get into becoming an operator how do you go about doing it?
Hello Pat, I am a mobile crane operator and I follow you from Spain, one questions, how ,mucho is the annual salary in the USA? a greeting.
It depends. Most of us are paid hourly so your gross is really dependent on how many hours you’re willing to work. I would say it ranges from $70,000 to $120,000usd in the states. Maybe more if you’re running specialty equipment

In Toronto, Canada we make $100-200k on average. We are hourly also!
Why would you do a 180 swing at full boom extension?
What in the world does that matter???
@@Reynoldscraneservice When you make a pick, you plan them with the fewest maneuvers and risk. The pick (lift) was not well thought out.

Just curious, what does a job like that cost the customer?
How long are your work weeks?

I am curious,what is the distance and weight of the load?
I don’t remember the exact weight but somewhere around 2000 lbs and 240’ radius for the distance 👍🏽

@@Reynoldscraneservice ahhh... Things are different here in Europe

most are automatic
Get your Manual that way you’re not one dimensional
Hi😅 I am Korean crane operator^^
South or North?
@@bills6946 South Korean^^
US is sometimes so ridiculous... The boom on a extra trailer....
Yeah we call them boom dollies. Have to have the extra 3 axles in some states. They are super common over here even on smaller cranes

I have ten years experience
would you hire me？
