FINALLY! I had no freaking clue how they got into the weird places they did. Figured the worlds largest helicopter snuck them in and flew them away when no one was looking.
I've always viewed cranes as a chicken or the egg scenario. I always wondered, "If cranes are built by cranes, how was the first crane built?" I never knew cranes were actually built by themselves.
@@veotic2728 I wasn't disputing that. What I was refering to is the fact that 99 percent of all the engineering inventions of the modern era were made by white men, which is a surprising discovery considering white men are such a small minority (about 5 percent of the world population). These inventions include cranes, rockets allowing us to space travel, electricity (not the natural phenomenon itself rather tools to use it for our daily lives such as power plants, lightbulbs etc.), computers, the internet, mobile phones, cameras, airplanes, radars, cars and many many more.
@@patrikturek2646 having an early start doesn't guarantee you of being the lead forever. white men became lazy later and now the asians rule the stem fields.
Notice how the whole crane moves when the section gets closer to the operator's cab. I can only imagine what the operator feels like when it gets really windy...
Fantastic! Always wanted to know how these things got erected. It's been one of these things I've meant to look up for years but just never remembered to.
I worked on plenty of high rises and worked with many, many crane operators. I know some of the ironworkers like to complain about the operators, but from my experience, I have always found them to be very professional, highly skilled and easy to work with. They don't let just anyone on that equipment! Operators at this level have to go through a lot of training; or at least that is the way it usually is with the unions.
I watched this process from a high-rise next to the self building crane and I have to say the one guy I had balls of steel . They had trouble putting in one of the holding pins and he was hanging by his leg beating in the PIN. It's amazing operation to see especially that close up
Very clever. The original method didn't work too well, when the crane was suspended in mid-air with no support, while workers quickly tried to bolt in the new section. They could never work fast enough. 😉😉
Awesome...I can finally sleep at night as this video answered a lifelong question for me...seriously. It really bugged me trying to figure it out. Thanks.
its a jacking cage. it is literally 4 struts with a hydraulic jacking system. lift the top of the crane, insert tower, pin (yes, they are held by pins) next section
Finally I know the answer. Now suddenly I want to know how crane operator goes to the bathroom. Do they shit in a bucket or something? It's a long way down
Love my career!... A climber is a great invention... The last mass attached we use our test block... Great footage,great2bee apart of hoisting and rigging :)
Aftter all these years I thought they were assembled by another crane but got myself into a loop hole because how did that crane assemble the other crane without being assembled to assemble the crane?
FINALLY, I could never "SEE" how this works. I read about it, and saw pictures, but, the 'sleave' is the thing I've never seen before. I wonder where this sits when it is not building itself. (the sleave.)
I don't quite understand how they are doing it, but I get that they lift the parts up to near the top, assemble it somehow maybe inside the top piece, and the crane pushes itself upwards?

What came first? The crane, or the crane?
Dr. Krane...........
Sauce Goblin the crane you dumbass
Shrek, you are correct, the crane came before The crane
Mr Derpy Waffle yup thank you
@Rj no, that’s incorrect. I believe the crane came first.
wait a second... to build a crane you need a crane... There is a master crane somewhere
Ryan Who built the master crane
That crane was self assembling....
To build a crane you need machines.
@@northzero2390 then who made the machines? More machines or humans? If humans, who made humans?
@@tiffanya5368 the first cranes was made by god , :)
The question that has plagued man since the dawn of time... now I finally know!
me too been puzzled by this.
Dude I have been wondering that for years now I got the thought to google it
The question that has plagued me is how they would get the crane down from a 500m skyscraper, especially one that has embedded into the building.
ric4397 Same way they got it up, just in reverse. lift up from section, pull it out and lower it. remove attachments to building as needed.
Me too 😂😂😂
I'm glad I'm not the only one who wondered how in the world they got built.
bro me 2
D'aww, they grow up so fast. So cute when they're little.
haha
Now I can die in peace.
nah but are you dead tho?
Responding in their place: yes

Amazing what man can engineer.

+hanshen wang At least in the US, cranes shut down when winds reach 30 MPH. I have been on jobs that have been shut down because of high winds.
iw63boomer shit we don’t get told to go home till 40-45
I'd shit myself just climbing up.
NO THANK YOU!!! Lol 😲
0:26 you see how the crane moves like that, my heart would stop
Now my life is complete, I can die in peace now...
Im here from tik tack
no. just no.
Tik tok you here ?
Fantastic! Always wanted to know how these things got erected. It's been one of these things I've meant to look up for years but just never remembered to.
do u wanna know how mines get erected??
Same here, if I hadn't made a note of it on the smartphone, would have been doomed to never search it. Very satisfying isn't it? Learning can be fun.
YES this was my most unanswered question when I was a kid and I can't tell u just how satisfied I am lol
i dont know how much crane operators are paid, but for the amount of stress they must go through i have a feeling it's probably not enough!
they get played well
100k per year
Alot of operator get paid from 17 to 32 dollar an hour.
this was always the biggest secret of the universe for me
Very Cool!!*****Duke
ok
ok
When it shakes I'm like uhh no thanks.

Who here from the tictok
Me
after all these years i finally know. thank you youtube.

pov: you came here from tik tok
Real video rather than just animation... YES!!!!
Those cranes are engineering marvels, but it gives me the willies looking at them and wondering how they don't just fall over.
Finally! Everytime i drive by one of these im all "how dafuq that get up there?!"
Note that not all tower cranes build themselves like this: most are just erected by road cranes to a fixed height.
Finally my brain can rest now
Since the dawn of time, man has pondered questions such as the meaning of life, and...
How the hell are tower cranes erected?!!!!
The scariest thing about these cranes is that the taller they are, the more unstable they become. And they have to be precisely balanced.
Very clever. The original method didn't work too well, when the crane was suspended in mid-air with no support, while workers quickly tried to bolt in the new section. They could never work fast enough. 😉😉
This is called Telescoping Operation. One of the most riskiest operation.
cranes really freak me out. I cant imagine being a crane operator.
Wow i have been thinking about this for a couple of times. Thanks for sharing!
Been thinking about this for so many years and now I finally know
Awesome...I can finally sleep at night as this video answered a lifelong question for me...seriously. It really bugged me trying to figure it out. Thanks.
I could sit here a million years and never figure this out. Awesome video.
its a jacking cage. it is literally 4 struts with a hydraulic jacking system. lift the top of the crane, insert tower, pin (yes, they are held by pins) next section
needs more house music
This mystery had been driving me crazy for a while. Thank you for this
i love how at 1:00, the crane leans far forward with no load... some guy runs up and adjusts something in the back and it levels out.
cable tension. sorry for being 11 years late (this video is as old as me)
They be like “ hold on bro before i build you i gotta put my body together rq”
Finally, my questions have been answered! It always bugs me not know how they construct cranes on top of the buildings.
Oh I see! That's always raised a lot of questions for me.
I now can die in peace knowing how crains are built
quite possibly more diabolical than the eqq and chicken debate
That's really cool! Those men have some serious balls being up that high.
They don't need mobile crane for this. Absolutely stunning
I also wondered how cranes that build high-rise buildings get built! I know now, thank you so much!
I never even thought about that. Super cool
This is the most informative video I have seen on youtube in months.
The crane became self aware.
I think yall are missing the part where they flung a person off the crane 0:20
that was a part of the crane lol
@@boomstickz. oh. It was more fun the way I thought of it. But thank you for letting me know so I didn't witness anything 🙂
I have been waiting my whole life for this. I can live in peace now.
Crane is just making another friend
Such an up'lifting' experience knowing how it's done! 👍😊
Now I know how Crain's go up
It's not a bad gig until the operator falls asleep and it almost falls over
See the end of the boom tilt when it picks up another section? Big balancing act
Finally I know the answer. Now suddenly I want to know how crane operator goes to the bathroom. Do they shit in a bucket or something? It's a long way down
Good question... They probably wear an adult diaper just in case, but climbing up and down the crane takes "only" 2-5 minutes depending on the height.
I don't care what anyone else says, thats wizardry right there!
I have a lot of respect for these guys it takes a lot of courage
Iew that gives me the shivers looking at that.. Respect to the guys operating the thing.. Nerves of steel!
I always thought they used two cranes and tilted the boom up... but this makes more sense!
Love my career!... A climber is a great invention... The last mass attached we use our test block... Great footage,great2bee apart of hoisting and rigging :)
Finally an answer to my questions! Thnx for the post. Actually i should have known it's a system like that... :-)
I saw one of these going up today and couldn't figure out how it's done. This video filled in the pieces.
I've always been curious about these cranes since there are lots of constructions going on in my place. Finally my questions have been answered :P
You never see those gigantic yellow cranes being built or brought in, they just kinda show up
that's all that holds that crane in the air.....no freaking way I would be in that working
When the hook fell, my heart dropped a little
Sidemen just reacted to this
Hey, you know what I never want to do. Be on a crane. Ever.
The way the crane rocks back when it moves scares me
I always thought they do some midnight magic and end up with a crane in the morning.
nice vid, it´s clear to me now how they get taller, thanks for posting it
finally, i can rest in peace
i never knew this! i've been wondering this for myself for years now!
Aftter all these years I thought they were assembled by another crane but got myself into a loop hole because how did that crane assemble the other crane without being assembled to assemble the crane?
The crane isn't building its self. The hard working people are building the crane!
+Britannia ...
Well, when a mommy crane and a daddy crane love each other very much...
Jeez I'm not the only one who finally decided to figure this out.
It basically works like the toy lightsabers
Im glad I'm not the only one who was wondering
Cranes don't build themselves, they magically appear.
Thank you for answering this most important question. I now know.
I tip my hat,,, to those guys that work building these type of cranes,,,
Not enough money in the world to get me up there ☺️
good video bud!! the 550 are awsome cranes!!
FINALLY, I could never "SEE" how this works. I read about it, and saw pictures, but, the 'sleave' is the thing I've never seen before. I wonder where this sits when it is not building itself. (the sleave.)

Great Post. In real time, it is much like watching paint dry...unless you are on it...
So that's how.
After years of confusion.
thanks... this has puzzled me for a long time.
hands down favorite comment section on youtube
At least I know how the crains are built!)
