A lot of comments on how much is going on each truck. It would be good to here from someone that knows why the truck appear not to be fully loaded.
Our weight limits are 80,000 pounds here in Mississippi and you gotta keep in mind that is steel they are loading and it doesn’t take a lot to hit the weight limit. This video is deceiving because the metal and the crane are a lot larger than what appears on screen when you watch it.
cotontop3 Thank you . The material is a lot heaved than it looks.
I think it's just because if they pack it in it won't dump out. Weight doesn't look to be an issue.
So here is my experience with scrap. I know I’m almost a year late.... what they are loading is called bushling. I can almost guarantee you they are no where near 80k. We loaded 70 yard trailers with that exact material and it would be loaded to the top and sometimes packed in with the grapple to get 88k here in Alabama. If Tim would have recorded them unloading HBI or pig iron then yes, 3 would be a 80k load.
@@catman980h Thank you for your information.
I used to live in East Liverpool Ohio right beside the Ohio River and I spent many many many of hours cat fishing with bread and chicken liver around those big barge's. You can't really know how big those things are until you are right beside them. Great bass fishing early in the morning when the fog is still on the river. Have a good one taters ✌️🤘 👍
I've just learned something new today. Had no idea that is done this way Thanks Tim
That drone sure does give a good perspective of things. Bet ur glad u have it. Good stuff man thanks
Those 2 loaders are put into the barge when the crane can't get the scrap,they make piles so it can grab them until its empty.
Three scoops: someone has been eating the high-powered Raisin Bran, I guess. Fortified with iron as part of a balanced breakfast, of course!
Great video. I was looking forward to seeing this one. Those Tugs are big really cool stuff thanks for the video
This stuff is so cool.great view.great for modeling.
Last time I was there it was Kinder Morgan that had that. When I was working for a contractor at Thyssen Krupp we shipped a bunch of scrap up there that had some big chunks in it. The folks that are doing the hauling was afraid to have them drop the material in their beds so we packed up our trucks and had to show them how it’s done!!
EXCELLENT video showing how that E-Crane works.Great closeup shots of the crane.Fascinating!!Glad something is still working in this wacky time.
Neat vlog!
thanks for making
Glad we have some steel being made in the usa
Fantastic drone footage. Just as I started typing this, you stated where this is, which took the question right off my keyboard.
Super cool stuff as usual Tim. I have actually loaded barges with steel using a big magnet. That’s fun, just turn the magnet on, make your swing and turn it off. Stay safe and God bless.
Reminds me of the old Hulett coal off-loaders on the Great Lakes.
That crane is a flipping monster beast of a machine. Another cool video thanks for sharing Tim. some big money in a loaded barg of scrap metal.
Good morning Tim Jill and the tatornation 😁 🤘 hope all the taters are doing very well this morning.
Awesome machines! We have one mounted on a barge. It has a 22 yard bucket on it for unloading coal. It takes a little over a hour to unload 1500 tons. So that’s why the boat is sitting there. They switch out barges very often. And many of the boats have to move the barges up or down river if the company doesn’t have a winch system. Cool video.
They have a pretty big holding area about mile south of here where they’ll tie off and swap out 30-40 barges. They move them back and forth from there
This is one of the best unloading videos I've seen.
Please could you post, say, a simple 10 minute video but just from the angle we see at 1:45 or 9:00?.
Awesome! 😯👍
I can watch this all day too
Tim the guy or gal running the crane should have smiled. Remember the TV show candid camera? "Smile your on Candid Camera!" In your case Smile you are on Tim's drone!"
It almost looks like the scene on a model railroad!
Great video!
Thanks for the video, awesome aerial footage!
Good stuff Tim, nothing is small in America
Great video! Thanks for the excellent footage. Very interesting!
Worked on those trucks all the time. Volume freight and trans power. Fun times when I was wrenching at waters.
Cool Video thanks. Nice to see what others do for a living and what it takes to make the world go round. Stay safe, Stay healthy! Viewer fan.
Brilliant video Tim 👍
Did the cylinder by the counter weight work the stick boom by pivoting the counter weight and moving that linkage that ran across the top?
That is the way I see it.
That's cool
Last time you showed us this the place was flooded, put the drone away Tim and go operate the crane ,glad the water went down alittle.
Awesome content Tim, thanks for the extra effort as always in rounding up super cool material!
Tim, thank you... great video... very interesting...
Tim thanks for the videos, they take up a lot of time 👍
Super cool. You should post more vids like these
E-crane home office here in galion Ohio, local boy started it. Pretty cool
Great drone footage today Tim
Very cool video thank you for sharing
That's cool thanks for the video.👍
Great video Tim I live here in Ohio and see them Crane's up and down the Ohio River beside power plants
Pretty dang cool!!!!
Where did the barge get loaded and how?
not sure about weight limits on those trucks but sure looks like that could haul more volume?
Weight limit is probably 80000 gross I figure sense the mill is only 10 miles away and the grapple is to large to smash down the stuff to fit more in the trailers it's easier to just let the roll light and I believe I didn't see a scale either
Sure are transporting a lot of fresh air.
I found you! I knew it wasn’t Columbus OH or GA, so I immediately suspected it was MS. found it on Apple maps.
Good deal 👍🏻
That’s bushlin the steel mill I work at uses it the best way I found to deal with it is take my mag crane an mag it up in the pile
Another Cooper T Smith tugboat.👍🏻💪🏻
Reminds me of long days on the Mississippi River unloading limestone barges for Martin Marrietta. Same old deal. Except we just ran up the hill and came back. Short turns.
Thanks Tim
That's a cool machine and interesting process to watch for someone that likes big equipment. Thanks for sharing. Just curious but what drone/camera are you using? Thanks again.
Dji mavic zoom 2 is what I use.
@@cotontop3 Cool, thanks for the info
Impressive equiptment
Good video!
The steel mill that is in Columbus is the one that started in my home town, SDI, have many friends and family that still work there to this day.
That was a good video
Theres a company not too far from me in Washington that builds those type of grapples. They have a few different sizes. Pretty interesting.
Nice!!!
Awesome video Tim 👍👍👍. Them barges sure hold a lot of weight. I bet it’s a little bit difficult to unload when they get to the bottom. Do they put a piece of equipment in there to pile it up? Thanks
Look over beyond the crane, there are several attachments one of which is a magnet.
Cool video
Where I'm at there's a lot that they do basically the opposite of this. The local scrap metal recycling company brings everything that comes off their big ol metal shredder to a lot in downtown in dumptrucks and they dump it out on the ground there and one of those big material handling excavators picks it up and piles it into rail cars to be hauled off to wherever.
hello good evening thank you for being beautiful thank you for being the wonderful I hope you have a great day Goodnight the greatness in you is beautiful
The sheet piling the barges are tied to could be used to repair the leaking dam.
The hydraulic cylinder connected to the counterweight is the one which moves the arm carrying the clamp back and forth through the upper beam. The funnel is connected to the crane with 2 beams to keep it a set distance from the crane. The big reel on the funnel side of the crane is the electric cable for power.
Interesting operation.
Has anything been done about the damaged bridge?
It could but, when you drive those sheet piles, the vibration would more than likely liquefy the dam and whoosh. On the dam is another issue. Looks to be like a huge leak at the over flow. Watch Tim's last video and you can see the water is a foot below the over flow but water is still coming out the outlet. The shattered concrete also shows a rather big sink hole and another dam compromise.
@@Rickimusic There are two ways to drive the sheet piles diesel or steam hammer or vibratory hammer. The vibratory hammer is the one to more than likely create soil liquification problems as that is how the driving is done. Drop, steam or diesel hammers don't vibrate the ground with enough frequency to liquify it. I have been around driving piles with a steam or diesel hammer but not a vibratory hammer.
Driving sheet piles has been used many times to create a dewatered area for constructing bridge piers in water. When finished the piles are pulled but sometimes are left in place, depends.
Awesome
I wonder how much scrap is at the bottom of that river in that surrounding area
None. They use the same crane to sweep up the river bed where the barges are unloaded.
@@cotontop3 oh okay I figured they had some way of cleaning, thanks for the reply
To hear that metal hit the floor of the trailers like that makes me cringe... that can't be good for the long term on that equipment. I used to load up coils and deliver the additive metals to that steel mill alot and I wondered how those trucks go and come back so quickly.
Great videos as always Cottontop3.
You can see the trailers take a hit when the metal is dropped and it’s very loud too. It’s gotta be rough of those trailers
What drone are you using?
DJI Mavic 2 Zoom Super Pro Bundle (Renewed) www.amazon.com/dp/B082BFYRJ6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_UTZJEbDHP365H
One thing , looks like that sheat steal is heavy. How thick do you think it could be , I’m just curious.
from that crashing and the small amount put on the trucks, 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch, just a guess. Did you note the rusted material on the next barge in line? Wow.
Well that, is a BIG crane.
Wonder why 2nd truck only took 1 dip? Anyway thanks for the video.👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
RE: The audio cutting out....Have you checked for software updates to correct that problem??
What the heck? those trucks seem less than 1/2 full. That's all it takes to get to max weight?
I wonder if they lose any steel into the water since the barge is so mounded up
They do and they will get it up.
Is the dipper stick in a fixed position on that machine?
There’s a cylinder at the back of the boom.
@@cotontop3 I saw that and just took a closer look. It's on Z linkage inside the counter weight?
Do you know how deep the river has to be for a barge?
9 feet of depth.
Is that going over to Steel Dynamic by Weyerhaeuser CMF?
Wow, that bottom hydraulic cylinder is half the length of the trailer.
I just pulled the specs on a Model 2000 of that E-crane just to see what the power was. 600Hp motor at 480v. I was expecting to damn near see it be medium voltage.
Wonder if he has a scale in the claw?
Must suck when a bathroom break is needed.🤔
Good morning Tim could you get a shot of the man lift for me. I would like to know what model it is and who made it. Then I can tell you why I asked
It’s a sunbelt rental and I believe it’s a jlg lift
Thanks I used to work on the booms on those machines. I would put the decals on and the tubes and tracks and put the hoses and cables in it . I also put the jub assembly on it that holds the basket. Have a great day
I have a cousin that works at a place similar to this one the cab of the crane is sound proof due to the noise
Do they have to keep an extra tug boat to chase run away barges??🤣🤣🤣
That’s a chase tug 😂😂
Rained out in the woods
Sad part is i bet it ends up going overseas
gotta keep the tugs ready these days never know when you have to chase down a loose barge
U got that right lol
Where do they get the scrap from. and I agree, those trucks could easily take 4 scoops.
all cranes are electric
It is power by a diesel generator
Its law here to cover loads, they don't have that law over there, I guess they are not worried about sheets of steel flying out down the road and going through someones windscreen.
It would just RIP thru the tarp. That looks like scrap sheet metal. The steel cullet/shot would weigh more. I haul metal into a steel mill it avgs 44000 lbs in a 20 ft box about 3 ft tall on the floor. Looks like gravel. Cool stuff.
That's crazy you lost yourself
Second truck meybe 3 tons, hope this is a joke, cost of this truck to work everage170/215 $ on daila basis a load, valute of metal crap light Iron, 56.00/ ton. So? 😂😂😂😂
Right where?
讚！
I can barely hear u in this video
Lorry not being fully loaded. Why.
LetsDig18 can load faster then these guys
Tim you just have to have a go on it go an you know you want to.
Is it just me or does that just look inefficient?
Or are they stuck doing half loads
Sicktrickintuner weight restrictions it’s heavier than it looks
No one in a hurry, crane is mightely slow
That first truck wasn't even full
Maybe I'm wrong but, that looks like stainless steel.
@john mcgee stainless can be scrap to
@john mcgee scrap iron can consist of stainless steel I have hauled on a scrap iron load pal I'm a trucker
Good waist of time and money, a trailer can hold easy 32 Tons, load with ( maybe) 7/8 tons.😂😂😂😂this is ridicolus only in USA can happening this
It's a little weak
Is it me or does the crane loading slow?
cntsles fabrication probably lifting with a full grapple slower than you might think probably to avoid anything falling out, because the load is a little irregular in shape; he also probably puts it on the funnel a little deeper before he drops it to avoid jarring the truck so much and maybe for noise? Just a theory
@@brettkernbach6120 I am guessing he has a scale on it as well. Not that has anything to do with speed. The trucks were not exactly pushing each other for the next load so why hurry?
