These videos always keep me entertained 😃👍

All the money in the world wouldn’t get me up there - all credit to you fella. Balls of steel!! V informative and seeing life and land from a totally different perspective 👍

I am the same as most on here, no way would I or could I do that. If I could, I would spend half an hour on the climb, then need a piss the second I take my seat haha. Take care mate

"don't look down" he says. while looking down! The parts where you lean out and point at things are nearly giving me heart attacks! LOL.

Fair play Andy there is no way I could climb up those ladders like you do respect mate 👍 love the channel

I almost lost my balance and fell out my bed every time you look up or down lmao it's not that I'm afraid of heights but rather it's the sudden stop at the bottom that really gets me wheezy 😂

Keep these videos coming man, fascinating as hell. I couldn't imagine being up there!

What a great find. Credit to you as there's no way on this earth you'd get me up there and with no harness. I take it coming down is far easier. The views must be great. Looking forward to seeing some more videos as it's so interesting.

I have followed coast crazy for a long time now not really into cranes but thought I would give it ago and I’ve got to say I’m really enjoying it specially this video I am a massive Brentford fan and always look up when I’m in the stadium thinking sod that I wouldn’t like to be up there! 😂 great channel great work Andy .

Enjoying the videos thanks for the look into your world. A quick way to convert centigrade to Farenheit (approx) is double the centigrade and add 30 so 5c = double it to 10 + 30 = 40F

It’s a fantastic channel Andy great respect to you mate. Good health and happiness to you. Xx

Thanks for posting, I not a crane operator. But find them intriguing.i see the electric cable running down one side of the tower. Would love to know how that all connects. And when the crane is unattended in high winds. How the cable doesn’t twist and snap? So basically the electrical side to running the crane, keep the videos coming 👍

I have worked at height for most of my career fair play on your ladder climbing, I always hold the ladder stiles ( sides) as you never let go and enables me to carry things in one hand as do most of my colleagues,others inc the fire brigade recommend holding the rungs as your grab mechanism works better in a slip but you are constantly letting go Loving your channel 👍

that's awesome

Awesome 👍

Brilliant Andy

Interesting stuff young man!

Great video! Thanks for sharing!

Wow amazing video ! Thanks for sharing that climb .I could never do that lol Thanks again Andy👍

Good to see more of your crane work there Andy , this is definitely a job for those who have no fear of heights and to climb up the ladder to your cab and you seem to manage it well - nice 1 mate 👍

Wow, heard you say ya was a tower crane driver but to see this shows me it's not just the driving but the climbing aswell, hats off to ya 🎉

Dude you need a chemical toilet M8 up there also some good sounds. 🇬🇧😎🇮🇱

Not a chance of me ever climbing that! much respect Andy love your new channel and also Coaster Crazy as awesome good work mate! This this would be good to do a live video!

👍👍👍👍

🤠Greetings, from Keene, New Hampshire, USA! I'm a retired trucker and pro musician. But now, I'm a fiction writer of trucking and UFO adventures. I enjoyed your Vlog very much. Thanks for showing us the climb up into the crane footage. Just before I found you, I was trying to depict a SWAT sniper climbing up and onto a 300,ft tower crane then out onto the 200ft jib🫣. And this, on a blustery below ° full moon night to do surveillance on suspects while perched over a gigantic container yard. Seeing those rest platforms ( what do you call them?), at different intervals made more sense than my vertical straight loooooonnng latter!🙄😳

watching u climb the crane gives me vertigo lol but I enjoy watching the videos keep them coming

An amazing video Andy. Forgive me for asking but what if you need a wee or poo. .

Interesting videos man I'm in construction in Mississippi Not many cranes around here though 😂 Brave soul .. heights always gets me

Respect Andy ! No way i couldnt do that climb, also not to be able to go for a #2 all day its a hell no from me lol. Wouldnt you think they would put a person basket to hoist the driver up and down the crane. Till the next :)

Hey man, new sub love the videos!! Not many on KZfaq, I’m Currently saving up to get all certifications an I’ll be out there climbing too 😂

Watching these videos has made me wish there was a crane simulator video game.

hi there, amazing, i have no head for heights, 7ft up and i get giddy, truly amazing

Like I said before you must need that crane to carry you balls in mate 👍nuff respect to you for climbing that, I’m in the construction industry too but stay in my nice warm digger on the ground 😂😂😂👍

Have a ton of questions!!! Am absolutely fascinated by it!!! Will leave em for another day!!! I am called Andy also!!! Respect bro!!!!!

Terex comedil, Jaso and wolff are the best cranes on the market ,great video Andy I would consider redoing my tower crane licence at some point

Mate please... I'll even buy you one and meet you if you ever work around yorkshire... Wear some fall arrest equipment. Just hook on every 5 ladder lats. Respect.

I don't think I could climb that every day blimey xx

You need a lift.. ridiculous having to climb up there every day, interesting vid thank you.

I do this same job in Michigan USA we call ourselves operators

Hi Andy, enjoying these crane videos… really different. You’ve already answered a few questions I’ve had. How do you get down in an emergency, a rapid abseil etc?

I was wondering before why none of the cranes have lifts, even the 24 meter crane would probably have one here in the Netherlands. Makes it easy to see when the driver is back from their break. But like you say, it's definitely good exercise. So far I've not seen any block cameras, but they pretty much all have one in the trolley. Interesting videos, I like seeing your perspective and enjoy your presentation.

And the biggest job you've worked on

Aside from the hard work of climbing, the height wouldn’t bother me too much. Walking out on that catwalk arm would be an entirely different matter.

You deserve much more than the salary you are paid!…….nerves of steel!

I use to climb down into nuclear reactors.... THAT would of been an amazing recording if I had the chance.

The skyline of London has changed massively over the last 20/30 years, not just in Central London (the City), but there are many clusters of new skyscrapers all over London. Canary Wharf/Lewisham/Vauxhall/Elephant and Castle/Stratford/Brentford/Croydon/Nine Elms/The South Bank/Wembley/Aldgate etc. If all of the modern skyscrapers in London were built in the same general area, the skyline would look like New York or Hong Kong.

i work in san francisco and work on the freight elevators and i tryed climbing a tower crane from 42 stories and you got bigger balls than i most people dont realize witch a didnt also realize but when i was on salesforces tower was the winds that happen at 70 stories i love my job but i have always wanted to be one of you guys some people got it and others dont ya im scared of heights

Puts a glow on ya cheeks Andy that climb lol Are you managing many lifts a day at this stage? You never mentioned the famous pee bottle , I take it they are still in use lol . Good stuff mucka , stay safe bro 👍👍

First 😊

just subscribed this week finding it interesting .i have a huge fear of heights and vertigo lol when you was peering over the side i was hanging onto my arm chair pmsl.daft question if you need the loo do you have to climb back down ? (old age creeping in now i'm 60 you have to go more regular lol).anyway looking forward to future video's all the best from skegvegas

I feel like in 2023... there should be a more technological solution than climbing up a huge ladder...?!

It was bad enough watching a few weeks ago and it's still terrifying now 🙈🙈

Hi Andy, great video again mate. You say operating in heavy wind is at the drivers discretion. What happens if they have a big pour on etc, and you say its to windy ?

I deffo would, the only problem with me is the toilet issue, not one to hold things in lol, sorry if to much detail

I'm getting vertigo looking at you through the phone 😮 Hate heights

Hi Andy great channel keep it going How close are you to Heathrow flight path ?.

Hi mate, I just found your channel and this is actually the third video I‘ve watched in a row and so far I‘m really liking it 👍 Very interesting videos I have to say, and I‘m by far NOT a crane operator or anything nearly related to this. Actually I‘m a professional cameraman and video editor for over 19 years now, so if YOU do have a question when it comes to filming and editing, don’t hesitate to contact me 😉 But I just found out that your last video was uploaded 9 months ago 😳 so what happened if I may ask? I‘ll definitely watch the other videos of yours in the course of the next few days, and of course I‘ve already subscribed to the channel and liked every video I‘ve watched 👍 One thing out of curiosity: Are you sure about the elevators in/at German cranes? Cause I don’t recall seeing an elevator next to a normal Jib crane like yours in this video?! Best wishes from Germany 🇩🇪, Philipp 👋

If you sneeze you could wipe out 50 guys. Lot of respo resibility..hats off mate. Keep safe. Would love it if you didn't like heights 😂

Very interesting andy loving your new channel just a quick couple of questions are you aloud a radio or a tv in your crane how long do you get for a lunch break do you just sit in your crane during your breaks cheers andy

Braver than me, I felt lightheaded just watching. 😅

The prospect of climbing up to that makes us feel unwell.......good luck to me when I get to energylandia!!

Great videos BUT has the Big Jets TV van got a Crane Crazy Sticker on it like your Heathrow crane had ? lol

The 4 cranes building the new Everton stadium in Liverpool, have got lifts on them, well 3 now, Laing O Rourke main contractors,

I work offshore. I can’t fart without a permit. I can’t climb a 2ft ladder without a harness. How on earth health and safety let you climb that ladder without at least a fall arrestor is beyond me but fair play to you brother! I’d look up the ALARP theory in H&S and apply it though. As Fred Dibnah used to say… one false move and it’s half a day out with the undertaker

I don't know if you can Andy but would love to see a crane being built from the ground up how long it takes ect...

I'm also a tower op and have thought for years to do what you are doing on KZfaq but never got round to it. Do falcon and Hills know you are doing this? Have worked for falcon in the past. Keep up good work

How do you catch the load or be able to see how far it is swinging. Do uou rely on ground guys to help to catch the load

Just found the channel . It is great and I would love to do the job .I wouldnt worry about the height , but the climb looks like hard work . Sorry if you have covered this elsewhere , but are crane operators only trained or qualified to work one type of crane ( Horizontal Jib or Luffing Jib ) or can you work either bearing in mind the different operating models . Looking around you dont seem to see as many horizontal job cranes as you used to and certainly in the cities they all seem to be luffers ( apart from yours ) . I am guessing this is dependent on how many cranes are needed to operate on each site and the turning circles available .

Hi Andy I have just found your channel and enjoying the vids I am interested to know how do you become a tower crane operator and a rough guesstimate on what the cost may be mate. I have a job already which involves working at height and sometimes climbing lots of ladders and have been up in man riding cradles and b.m.u lots of times. I envy u and your job and would love to be up there with the birds in my own peaceful place

I cant believe you have to climb that everyday. Do you get to quit earlier to get done in order to have time to climb down.

In the world of H+S you’d think the ladder rungs would have some sort of grip on

Do you ever leave stuff by mistake and have to reclimb up Great video

Hi Andy do you have to go back down for the loo do you have tea/ coffee facilities do you go back down for your break mate

NASA clipper wind instruments! Lol… mine lasted about 2 months on my boat! ⛵️⛵️⛵️. I guess you get asked this all the time, where do you take a dump when up the crane?

You are certainly a lot fitter than me. What is the highest crane you have ever climbed Andy ?

First time here but what happens if you need a number 2 ?🙈

Great video how do you go for a piss if you need one?

What’s the money like Andy,I reckon about £750- £1000 a week🤔 & you deserve it !!!

Being up in the cab wouldn't bother me but I don't think I could do that climb without papping myself

Late arrival to your channel, and sorry if this question has already been answered elsewhere/here, but this is clearly a physically demanding job: without the lift that you mentioned at the start, how to emergency services provide prompt support/rescue if they are ever needed?

I’d love to do it 😊 asked years ago but company pulled out. How go about getting lisence for tower 🏗️ crane?
