Exceptional Engineering: Mega Cranes
Higher, stronger, more robust: Crane builders excel with superlatives. Loads are getting heavier and need to be lifted to hard-to-reach places. One of the big crane companies in this country is Knaack Krane in Hamburg. The company currently has about 60 different cranes, the largest of which can lift up to 750 tons. It takes a long way through planning and installation until the machine is used for the first time - the report accompanies the creation of a mega crane.

I feel like when a documentary has to point out that it's free, it's actually an ad

Some really great looking machines in this video. I have watched the smaller cranes being picked up by progressively larger cranes, several times. It is an extremely impressive demonstration. I think I remember one demonstration where the largest crane is lifting and holding a total of 4 cranes that are each one lifting a smaller crane, down the line. For a company to sponsor a demonstration like this, they would have super confidence in their engineers, designs, operators, riggers, materials, and assembled machines, when one weak point, or mistake could mean a monumental disaster.

Marcel Zatko I guess I’m showing my age here but I was born long before Minecraft was ever made. I also like more of the real hand ones feel and build of how Legos are. Where Minecraft is probably a amazing game for myself it’s harder to compare the job satisfaction of building something on a computer compared to having them physically right there. But that’s just me.

@benj.kerman609 3 жыл бұрын

@@FirstNameLastName-js3ry No, I like having physical things too, although it is still somewhat satisfying to build cranes on the computer (See my KZfaq channel) That is why I like it when companies have physical paper catalogs instead of online ones. I am actually building a Lego crawler crane! It is really tiny compared to even small crawler cranes, since it started out as a medium sized excavator, and it has been turned into a material handler right now, but I can easily switch it between material handler, crane, and excavator. I am sure I would really like having a diecast construction equipment model, but I have looked at the prices and the models cost about as much as the real cranes!

Amazing the way cranes are built. Very precision built from computer drafting to testing. I was a operating engineer crane operator in the 70s, 80s 90s and early 20s before retiring. Most operators started as crane oiters as apprentice to crane operators. All cranes in cab has a load chart but throughout years working every work site has its challenge and physics. The operator attitude, physical and experience must be in top shape. I wish they had something like this back than. But now cranes are bigger, heavier, and booms are higher can't see the job and. Amazing !!!!!
