@cm. CG never done this, but I climb trees. and I agree, you get used to it, and going down is worse than going up

@cm. CG looks fun, seems like a job id get, but I think ill stick to climbing trees, atleast I can become an arborist and make some good money

@@WoodCutr1 hows the pay

@@cheeto408 I am a rec climber, all I do is spend money to climb lol, ask around, you will find some good answers for your area

@@WoodCutr1 I'm trying to get more money somewhere in the 30 an hour I'm almost there. But I want to go to a trade school. And earn a good amount of money.

Is work steady throughout the year?

@@DaBank most definitely, there is so much work, and so many projects that are going to be running for years and years to come.

40ft or 1100...a fall from either equal the same results. Anything over 30 doesnt really matter if you fall

Thanks, that means a lot to me as a hoisting engineer :)

How much money u think these guys make?

@@garrettgermany3155 100k+ surely

All the ones I ever met were crybabies and big time diva complainers.

Correct me if I'm wrong Local 25 covers Eastern Michigan, Detroit area?

The IUOE is a fucking joke, at least local 542 is

Much appreciation from a glazier local 636

The hell they are

pa heavyhauler I never had a problem with one lol

@@jonathanaldana4941 I have trouble 90 percent of the time when I deliver machinery. Its always a pissing match on the union thinking they're going to run a machine on and off my trailer

@@brandonharris9237 you're just mad because we always ask you to get closer.

?

How do you like it, considering being an iron worker.

@@littlebear4543 He never got off the couch.

Tony Botchagaloop 😂😂😂

Tony Botchagaloop that’s what you do?

Check out local 12 as well 440 and 12 are close

They're out of buisness now.

@@AndyB718 no… they aren’t.

we r not steel workers we r IRONWORKERS, get it right

A steel worker either makes the alloy that is steel, or works in a shipyard. These guys are Structural Iron Workers.

Is the work steady year round ?

including Luke!

Is it steady work?

Chicago Slabs and Stuff damn

By by by

10 year veteran? Not getting another job. You must be not that good.

Bribe your dispatcher.

@@bluehand9631 obviously he is non union

join the Union

@@In_Rem Twenty five year member of the I.U.O.E., four different locals. So try again. The Operating Engineers is a labor company, not a labor union. Wake up and smell the coffee.

@BlackMinkCoat idk bput that 1 chief lol. I'll use a mini porta potty

not exactly, crane operators are in high demand. i'm becoming tower crane operator and there's schools and unions around here in florida that'll teach you for free. i love tower cranes and know this is the career for me.

@@magnarvasiliev5292 I am a Tower crane operator, and promise you it's not for everyone. Alot of people come out and end up doing something else.

@@rigging1377 That sum bitch looks alot diff when you get there. Yeah ,NAH.

@@magnarvasiliev5292 good luck to you, I sincerely hope it works out for you. Trust me though, it's 10x harder than it looks. Some people just dont have the touch. Sounds corny, but I'm serious.

No its either a TG 1900 or TG 2300 Cornell bought nearly all existing ones and custom modified them. TG 2300 I think lifts 230 Tons.

The good ol Favco 1000 🖒

@@jamesberlo4298 230 Tons??? Not sure they got tower cranes doing that type of weight.

It's usually disassembled into pieces that can be hoisted by smaller cranes or with the use of gin-poles, structures attached to the side of the structure being built. After construction, those gin-poles are removed and the building's outside is completed. I would not rule out the use of a helicopter to transport the biggest parts.

The crane lowers itself with a hydraulic climber you can see the climber right under the cab.

sean williams It all depends on the state and county but i would say they bring a lot of money. Like $80-$100/hr

California union rate is around 53 per hour plus benefits, we make our good money on overtime and double time

Join OE apprenticeship

Mucho cojones

@Chicago Slabs and Stuff thank you

works out to $90 an hour when you include benefits - most people would not think this is "not much"

@@kellycandaelefilms first someone told they only make $40 an hour... I said WTF!!! Lol...
