It's not hard once you can catch and stabilize the load when swinging or booming up or down and then stopping. I literally practiced on a few cranes for 2 days and my crane operator career took off. It's 18 years later and the only time I've been off work is when I chose to be off. Your daughter will definitely be a prodigy. Great video.
@@gpd4705Forget the marines. Go waste your life fighting a war for corrupt politicians. Don’t do it. Get into the trades. In my state, crane operators can make $250,000 a year. Union operating engineers. Make about $75 an hour and OT is double time. Look into a union in your state.
You can't imagine how inspiring it is to see you having the patience to teach your 8 (now 9) year old daughter to operate your crane. The bonding experience and your love for your daughter cannot be measured. By the way, I used to own a crane and rigging company (sold and went onto another profession) and picking heavy loads takes great skill and an intimate knowledge of the capabilities and limitations of whatever crane you are operating. I could see the makings of that skill in your daughter. I remember one day my 5 year old daughter (now 52 and still crazy) climbing up the lattice of one of my cable cranes. Your daughter should she so choose, would have an extremely lucrative and successful career as a crane or equipment operator. Good luck to you both.
Honestly, my brother, that is the best thing I’ve seen on UA-cam in quite a long time! I took my boys out to the top hand competition a couple years back, and they loved being up in that cab. For one of my boys 10 year birthday brought them up into the tower crane! Much love and blessings to y’all. PS 100% sub!!
Can you be a crane operator and have autism? Or would taking medication 💊 be a hurdle to becoming one? I will admit that I have OCD, anxiety disorder and plus I get easily distracted.
This warmed my heart tonight. Im in corporate amercia and it pays the bills bit not satisfying. Im in north texas and have been wanting to be owner operator of a mobile crane to get sib erl fro havc roof top installs...also i now have a 4 yr old daughter. Best thing ive seen on youtube today. God bless brother, got a new sub.
I've been registered as a student with NCCCO for 2 months now. I haven't made any progress because I don't know any operators and I was kinda intimidated. This Video is 1 of the top 5 most influential videos I've seen in 40 years. Your daughter is only 8 but she's very well groomed. The average 8 year old wouldn't even be a candidate because they'd be somewhere being a playful immature child. Keep up the good work.
Please give me information I’m seeing nccco website say 5-7 days to get certified and others saying 3-4 weeks I already have my CDL A sense 2012 I’m 37
Nice!!!!!!! I look forward to meeting both of you on the next job brother!!! I knew I was paying too much for them boys just pulling levers. She’s smooth!!!!
Brother, I'm very proud of you as a dad teaching her to do this at this age I was the same way as a kid makes me proud and I don't even know you guys good job guys
Where is her hard hat . What a beautiful little girl she will never forget those beautiful memories we need are future generations to come out and be in the trades great job to the both of you❤😊😊😊
My kids all learned early on many diferent trucks in oilfield. Interestingly enough,once all operators had to have their crane tickets, every safety feature imaginable, operators bent booms non stop,wrecked turret brgs. It was great for business. Great to see young one learning. Younger generation need to learn from their fathers.so they learn some common sense, what world is lacking
Well done, are the leavers only back and forth, ie not joysticks with forward/backward and left/right? Took my my nephews 5 and 7 at the time and showed them how to run an excavator. They got the hang of the basic functions quite quickly, the tiltrotator controls was a bit harder though as their hands were a bit small to get a good use out of the rollers.
Gotta train em early and often. It's great bonding time and they get unbelievably exited when they overcome challenges. Fun to show off to friends too 😎
she already is! whenever he needs to take a fishing day.,she stands in for him!One day she had a 200 ton pic...had he known,he probably would have showed up THAT day!..
Here is the next question: How hard to get crane operator licence?😀 I came from other country, where i used to work as a crane operator for ten years. Thank you for video. Being crane operator is not to hard, but very interesting and good job)
@@mattvega6941 yeah she can't reach em yet so she uses the hand throttle. I'm in the process of teaching her how to ride my Honda Rancher 420 semiauto 4wheeler as well

id done have the boat on top the house, the trash can on fire and the crane on its side. I have a daughter as well, she does many things better than I do. lol
It’s easy to that baby because she is trained joe shmoe off the block would not be able to do that that easy especially reading signals.. you are training her well..
I like welding rigs better. I was thinking what i want to do. CPA/CMA ability to develop bookkeeping business Crane operator ability to get a set up like this Boat maker wooden boats Master plumber own business Master welder with a rig welder set up. Ultimately i don't know, but i now now i don't want this.
True, but to be fair in 10 years operating I've only seen 1 crane that was correct and that's cause the floats were tiny. I'd have to have 6ft pads lol
It's not hard, but comes with tons of responsibilities.

If you don’t mind me asking how much do you make a year? I’m thinking about getting into this career or joining the marines
Awesome
I need real help

What's bad is you ain't lying

As a crane owner and operator. Expecting a daughter next month this makes me very happy
Gotta train em early and often. It's great bonding time and they get unbelievably exited when they overcome challenges. Fun to show off to friends too 😎
Awesome !
Love to see it not enough kids learning young theses days. My brother and me started running the winches for dad as soon as we could walk
There you go, she will be a great operator some day!
she already is! whenever he needs to take a fishing day.,she stands in for him!One day she had a 200 ton pic...had he known,he probably would have showed up THAT day!..
I love this
She’s better than me…so sweet.
Here is the next question:
How hard to get crane operator licence?😀
I came from other country, where i used to work as a crane operator for ten years.
Thank you for video. Being crane operator is not to hard, but very interesting and good job)
Its as hard as you make it out to be. Once you get used to the controls and start getting confidence. You get your license.
@@SyengSyeng
I’ll definitely try! Thank’s for reply!
Hell yea that’s cool
Good morning is there a way you can show how to grab the counter weight? Thank you
Cool :)
I wish i could double thumbs up ! Great job ! Very inspiring! That kid is going places ! Double thumbs up on dad 👍👍

Good father and good daughter

@@marktarver4218 good to hear, she just cant reach the foot pedals? But with time she will, and she will have alot of experience!
@@mattvega6941 yeah she can't reach em yet so she uses the hand throttle. I'm in the process of teaching her how to ride my Honda Rancher 420 semiauto 4wheeler as well
Classic one
Please give me information I’m seeing nccco website say 5-7 days to get certified and others saying 3-4 weeks I already have my CDL A sense 2012 I’m 37
Father and daughter, best team on anything. Im a mason and when i get little side jobs i take them with me
How does someone with no experience get started? Do i just get my CCO and Cdl class b? Or is there more steps to it
Awesome crane and daughter
How long do this course?
Hey what size crane (ton) is this?
I am aslo crane operator 10 years experience in United Arab Emirates ❤

Father of the year 😂
I don't know about that but I try
Planning on going to school next year the only thing I'm worried about is the rigging.
Same here man
i thought the guys on the ground rigged it?
U are the best papa
id done have the boat on top the house, the trash can on fire and the crane on its side. I have a daughter as well, she does many things better than I do. lol
Good father training the next generation 😊

Good morning dear.
I'm Rashid from Pakistan and I'm also a mobile crane operator and i want to know how to come to USA as a crane operator
is that your own crane?
❤❤❤❤❤ ❤❤❤❤
Wish my dad had a Crain
Show use handle sir
SHE IS NCCCO READY
I like the fact she was barefoot
It’s easy to that baby because she is trained joe shmoe off the block would not be able to do that that easy especially reading signals.. you are training her well..
Watch out shes comming for your job when she gets older HA 🤠
A far cry from the days of ropes and friction drive cranes!
Yeah I finally learned how to run one about a year b4 starting my own company. She's not quite ready for that yet. Give her til she's 13ish
I like welding rigs better.
I was thinking what i want to do.
CPA/CMA ability to develop bookkeeping business
Crane operator ability to get a set up like this
Boat maker wooden boats
Master plumber own business
Master welder with a rig welder set up.
Ultimately i don't know, but i now now i don't want this.
Glad I could help?
I know this is an old video, but what tonnage is that crane?
60
What is the capacity of the crane...??
60t (US)
What's the pay like? Good money?
Pretty sure I made a video for that. Depends on what area you are in for sure
Anyone could do it put your mind to it
i wish i was his son
Careful what you wish for. I take in strays.
Hi
Crane float pads are not 3x the floats. Against OSHA regulations
True, but to be fair in 10 years operating I've only seen 1 crane that was correct and that's cause the floats were tiny. I'd have to have 6ft pads lol
Or 1ft floats but then I think I'd be moving backward not forward
She’s not as good as Paul Newman yet, but if she keeps practicing, she will be good. Take care.
I m operator
Are you saying that it's so darn easy that a 8yo could do it.
Isn’t this illegal ?
How's that?
