Years ago (1979 - 80) we build an aluminum fishing boat (32' Bristol Bay Gill netter). The hull was welded up upside down (keel up). The day came when we rolled it out into the parking lot and the crane operator lifted it up and rolled it around so the keel was down and deck up. It was then lowered into the new cradle and rolled inside to continue working. That day I learned crane operators can turn things over when needed.

Just looking at those straps, it’s hard to comprehend that those would be able to lift a load that heavy. Great Vid! Stay Safe 😊

Thanks for your uploads! I think i watched all of your vids and they are the best in mobile cranes category:) I was working as truck driver and now i started my journey as mobile crane operator :D Have a safe lifts Jimmy! Greetings from Poland!

This tank weights about the same as an M1A1 Abrams, so the tank weighs as much as a tank.

Thanks for posting the clip!

Sir Jimmie!!!!! Thanks as looked like a HUGE Lift ?? NICELY DONE !!! "KEEP IT SAFE ""!!

Another great video Jimmy, hope all is well with you over the pond, hope to catch up with you soon mate.

👌 Nice job Jimmy

Hi from NYC hope all is well. I picked 60 ton tanks from Trinity tanks Texas. Used a Friction Link belt Hc 238a had to roll them over on to feet on sand pile cushions Fun .I put python chokers down low on crane side to flip it no shock load on rigging all into soft sand when flipped. Excellent job.. Be safe.

Hi from Australia great videos love your work

Tanks for the great video (sorry, couldn't help myself). Hope you're staying safe, Jimmy.

Good job bro

The little TD handle that like a champ...💪

Good video as always hope everything is good in your world

Purging out regular breathing air out of the tank with Hydrogen could of saved a few hundred pounds of lift force. LOL

The chassis has to flex to relieve and balance stress. Aircraft wings do the same. They flex up and down also twist. The wings on a B52 are probably one of the most extreme in that without the bodies on the wingtips they would drag and during flight they can flex up to 21 feet over the back of the fuselage.

Great video Jimmy. Hope everyone is ok. Take care my Friend

smooth

Nice job! I don't know about you, but when I'm on the edge of my chart, I hate having to lift something over and over again, I just want it over with!

Love to watch this...sooo cool! Whatcha mean by spinning? Seen this big thanks full of natural gas off hwy 56...cool to see about how it was put there. Thank you.

Great video. I didn’t understand exactly how you were rolling it. Maybe you can explain it or draw some pictures on the next live show. Have a great day.

Respected

Well, if you like watching a tank being lifted, repositioned, reseated, rolled,and put in place while looking at 4 cables and believing all that was said and scenery didn’t change much, this is the video for you, I give it a 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸 be safe

Not sure that tank was observing social distancing measures in the given current events!.. Super smooth lift and transition. I can see the complexity of trying to roll that thing though! fun and challenging

One thing that i can never work out from the outside looking in ?? Is how much weight a crane can lift ? I know there are charts to calculate loads for a certain crane. More so comparing size for size. Meaning a 200 Tonne can can lift a Max of ????? etc etc It,s one of those questions you know without thinking about IF you drive a crane. Just a curious question about cranes in general. Not expecting an answer, just curious. Thanks for bringing us along during your day.

Great video. I thought they was going to hit your outriggers. Like how used dozer to help. How much counter weight did have on, to much noise to hear for me. That was a big tank, my dad used to haul steel tanks for gas station, etc... stay safe you and your family. Love the music 👍.

Good morning ❤️

I just found your channel. Great stuff! You provide lots of interesting information about how cranes work in your commentary. You answer things I've wondered about, and things I never thought to ask. I do have one question I've not found yet in your vids. Where is the sensor for the scales that measure the load? Is it really measuring tension on the cable and adjusting for how many strands you have in the bock?

Good job bro,, i drive LTM 1500

Great video - whas the flange at the top side not an option to lift it right side up?

Nice video! I drive a 200t NOV knuckle boom crane 33m radius (24t max outreach on main winch and 10t all radius on aux winch)on a subsea installation vessel and I’ve been driving these types of cranes for many years. As the joystick config on these types of cranes (in Norway atleast) are the same from each maker Im wondering how is the joystick setup on a mobile crane? I’m getting my mobile crane license this summer and to be honest I’m a bit worried I’ll have problems getting used to a new setup and new configs. For some odd reason I’m more worried about that than actually passing the theoretical and practical exams 😂

We have 8 of theses at the farm I work at in hopkinsville Kentucky

Talking about placing this in your lap!!!

Do you run to save crane pretty much every day I see the link belt but I think it's got to be over a hundred ton but I haven't had to look at it

hi Jimmy, was wondering when you do a lift off a truck and the truck driver needs axle flips or jeeps and boosters and such are you able to set them on the drivers trailer if he asks nicely ?

How did you spin it? Were you under boomed. Nice if that thing had some pick points

When they rolled are 2 tanks thinks this year they used old converbelt between the lines and the tank.

What decides whether you boom down or cable down? Stay safe and warm.

Nice job Jimmy, hows things in your part of the world hopefully staying safe?

Nice.... but sems a bit odd. The tank would have been the right way up at the old location, why was it on its side when it arrived with you - ride height perhaps also you coud have used the lifting lugs fitted to the tank top on a four leg brother chain.

That's a BIG TANK. How often do you check your scale for accuracy?

What are you good off a single line pull (ie 1 part of rope)? Answer in metric tonnes or kilograms please.

Snow on the ground? Did you forget you had a KZfaq channel? LOL

I said you broke out the twins

Nice pick...Sad about the chemtrails One being made at 13:26 At One O'Clock High...
