Sir Jimmie !! YEPPER !!! SAFETY 1ST & Foremost !!! Great job !!! Good that you didn't slide backwards on that hill with the ice !!! Don't think ""TATOR"" RON would have liked that recovery ??? Have a good night & thanks for sharing !!!! ""KEEP IT SAFE ""!!!!
That was a tough tight lift there with that second tank for sure! Didn't help with the lack of site communication but you got there! Many thanks for uploading and sharing
While it may look different in person vs on camera, the guy in the black hoody could have done you a small favor by not wearing black gloves and holding his hand directly in front of his body on that 2nd lift.
I agree completely! Black gloves are terrible for signaling. So much so that they should be banned from use by a signal person. Many thanks for watching! 🏗
Thank you! It was nothing but ice the first time we went out there. I was almost wishing that I had tire chains. I'd hate to see the cost of chains for that crane. Lol. Many thanks for watching! 🏗
Thought about you monday I was driving through downtown Nashville and saw a big crane similar to yours but a kittle bigger I think driving through downtown with a support pickup truck and 2 18 wheelers behind it. He wasn't going about 15 or 20 mph had traffic all backed up behind him. LOL Thanks for sharing!
That’s a good after work job cutting down and hauling off all of those trees, oh yes it probably would have some learning time to figure out steam shovel Mode, backwards bucket, on my excavator link belt, I have learn pretty good with a pair of forks mounted on my bucket backwards, it took about 30 minutes to remember it opposite joy stick movements, o yes it’s nice now and my link belt is way more versatile now I load cars with it on trucks out for a crush on with it, thanks BigAl California.
I Operate the same crane as you. I have the same block that you’re using. Do you ever find your cable not winding up on the drum properly due to the block being too light and to many parts of line? Anything after six parts of line my drum gets F up..?????
I haven't ever had an issue with my rope not winding up straight. However, I rarely use high-speed on the winches with more than two parts of line. You could have an issue with the bearings in the sheaves. They may be dry or needing replaced. If the sheaves don't spin easily, they can make a mess of your rope.
Thanks for the video. It was fun to be back in the seat of the big crane again. Did the alarm really mean you were at the limit or could it be stretched just a tiny bit more? How many axles normally drive the crane when you are going down the road? Just one or two? Does it have posi traction when you lock more axles in or does just one wheel per axle spin?
When the steady beep kicks in, that's all she's got. When traveling down the road, it primarily drives off of the front axle. It can be locked in where all eight drives are pulling (which is what I had to do on the ice covered hill). Many thanks for watching! 🏗
Enjoy watching your videos brother it’s been a dream of mine to be come an operator. Wanted to ask what the pedal was for and also you mentioned you had sections 5-4 in and 3-2-1 out wanted to know if you had 5-4-3 out would it be stronger or is there a reason it’s at 5-4 in
Well brother I’m sincerely glad to hear that in the wider spectrum of things you’re not another cowboy operator! Unfortunately there’s too many out there they give the rest of us a bad name
Definitely not a cowboy here. I will give the customer all I can. But, won't put anyone, the machine or myself in jeopardy. The goal...we all go home to our families at the end of the day. Many thanks for watching! 🏗
Hi. I wish you would tell us close to where you are. I know Google is not current but we could still tell where you where going to work. I live 20 miles north of St. Joe. I like your videos.
Maxed out as in no chart left. I was straight over the rear. So if it picked up only one outrigger, there would definitely be a problem. Lol. Many thanks for watching! 🏗
@@ToTheTopCrane My old TM180 was many times off the charts both by weight and reach... just gotta have that feeling when you break the beams and then pick the pad up!
Thank you! I have several cameras. I recorded this job with my GoPro and a dji osmo pocket. Unfortunately, the SD card in the GoPro was messed up. So I was only left with the footage from the osmo (which isn't wide angle). Many thanks for watching! 🏗
@@ToTheTopCrane Man that's awesome, I keep 8 Orange endless good for 40k vertical and they're probably double the size of those. I love em but the hands hate to have to handle them lol so I usually just drop them in and out the boxes with the hook. Anyway a set of those would be great!
I highly recommend them if you can afford them. They are expensive. 25 footers are $1600-$1800 each. They are close in diameter to blue continuous. Maybe even a little smaller. They are also light. For some reason a little less than a pound per foot sticks in my head. They also don't stretch like nylon or polyester.
i really like that audible tone for cable up/cable down that's really nice !!! they old 28 ton tadano i run is full hydraulic controls and my weight scale in the machine is the seat of my pants in the seat lol
16:30 - what would stop the belts from slipping and it becomes unbalanced? Really surprised it doesn't have built in lifting holes! Also surprised they used a valve as a point for the guide rope! I watched a video a while back where a crane operator mounted the lifting straps in a similar way for a wooden beam for a house and it slipped and fell, damaging part of the structure.
I know. I apologize for the delay. We are doing well. Went through the Covid around Christmas time. Hope you are doing well. Many thanks for watching! 🏗
Reach (radius). A cranes capacity is typically close to minimum radius with a short boom length. Example, A Link Belt 138HSL (80 ton) In order for me to pick 80 ton it is just the tip and butt section of boom (40 feet) at a radius of about 15 feet.
I worked in a soybean processing plant for a few years. Brought in a 500 ton hydraulic crane to lift a 23.000 pound piece or oil processing equipment. Rigged it with all the counterweights. Had to lift the the 50 foot tank out of a 5 story building with a gooseneck jib to reach out far enough. Boom looked to be about a 45 degree angle.
So you make bonfires on the ground wear your pads go unless it flammable surroundings, no problem, , nice getter done, .lololololl, nice job keeping it real , BigAl California.
Years ago, due to an error in layout, we had to move 6 columns, exactly 1 foot. The problem was, not only did we need to move the concrete columns, but the attached 80K pound footings had to come with. We rigged them exactly like you had those pedestals rigged. 4-point picks with slings looped around a couple #11 rebar that passed directly thru the columns. Because we only had to move 1 foot, we were able to get away with a smaller crane and only had to lift them about 6”.

Boom down to 80' to offload then boom back up to 20' swinging around to miss the trees then boom back down to 80' to set gotta love it haha

Sliding backwards would've been no good for sure! Many thanks for watching! 🏗
Thanks for the video my friend.
Many thanks for watching! Hope your recovery is getting better everyday. 🏗

Lmfao glad yall don't move drilling rigs
Great video from you. Wow, that road looked icy, that was something eight wheel drive and still spinning.

Good video, nice to see ya again.
That was one mell of a hess. Looks like that business was set up in the back yard. Stay safe and hang in there.

Thank you! Many thanks for watching! 🏗
I love your videos brother. Any chance you will tell us what you make an hour?
Maxed out as in 1 outrigger about a foot in the air?
Maxed out as in no chart left. I was straight over the rear. So if it picked up only one outrigger, there would definitely be a problem. Lol.
Many thanks for watching! 🏗
@@ToTheTopCrane My old TM180 was many times off the charts both by weight and reach... just gotta have that feeling when you break the beams and then pick the pad up!
The bad thing with the new rigs.....sometimes they break before they get light.
Working a crane close to its limits separate a operator & a lever puller 👍
Many thanks for the compliment! 🙂👍
Great video, you should consider getting a wide angle camera/lens for us to be able to see more once you're on site
Thank you! I have several cameras. I recorded this job with my GoPro and a dji osmo pocket. Unfortunately, the SD card in the GoPro was messed up. So I was only left with the footage from the osmo (which isn't wide angle). Many thanks for watching! 🏗
Curious what your endless you had up top were good for?
Each one is rated for 50,000 in a straight line pull. They are aramid fiber endless slings. VERY strong for their size. Many thanks for watching! 🏗

So how many tonnes of ammonia in each tank Jimmy?
They were obviously empty when we picked them. I'm not sure of the total capacity. Hope all is well! Many thanks for watching! 🏗
How do you get past the movement and deflection of the boom!?! Makes my ass pucker!
Working blind w/workers fouling the area and alarms going off, but aware, cool, and collected. The pros do make it look easy.
16:30 - what would stop the belts from slipping and it becomes unbalanced? Really surprised it doesn't have built in lifting holes!
Also surprised they used a valve as a point for the guide rope!
I watched a video a while back where a crane operator mounted the lifting straps in a similar way for a wooden beam for a house and it slipped and fell, damaging part of the structure.

I know. I apologize for the delay. We are doing well. Went through the Covid around Christmas time. Hope you are doing well. Many thanks for watching! 🏗
Great job Jimmy. Good to see your back making picks.
Turned the magic key thats why the alarm stopped lol
Pushed the alarm silence button. Turning the key won't turn the alarm off. Many thanks for watching! 🏗
That big tank would make a great SHTF shelter. If you can get past the smell and toxicity.
It would indeed! I'm guessing the ammonia would be tough to rid completely. Many thanks for watching! 🏗
My crane here me using is GMK6300L
Your head has not even been in the frame at all, we can’t see your body arts at all , good job BigAl California.
Just a thought, maybe those ratty trees are on the neighbors property.
They’re called AT’s for a reason
Hmm, I wonder why Fleming Yachts yard uses a 500 ton capacity crane when they lift the yachts, the heaviest is only 80 tons.
Reach (radius). A cranes capacity is typically close to minimum radius with a short boom length. Example, A Link Belt 138HSL (80 ton) In order for me to pick 80 ton it is just the tip and butt section of boom (40 feet) at a radius of about 15 feet.
A crane is rated to lift the operators lunch box off his lap

I thought you knew crane operator are mind readers to. Lol
It seems we are supposed to be at times. Lol
What you don't want to be a new Disney show on ice called cranes on ice lol I wouldn't do it either
No cranes on ice for me either. Lol. Many thanks for watching! 🏗

What a beautiful lift, well planned and executed. Nice to not see people under the load.

Why is the person given directions wear bark gloves? I would have ripped them off his hands that's just plain stupid of him
