How many of these are built? I expect not too many!

Thanx for the compliment I appreciate you

Without him it would've tipped.

He brought the necessary balance

I t

Hell I thought it was dope... Started air guitaring and head banging like it was the 90s

Agreed. The music had to be muted here

whir whir whir whir whir

Drone footage.

give them a thumbs down and report for he music- this is not as described--- must use mute

Agreed! That racket sucks!

There is even a bigger version of this crane...look up transi- lift..made by lampson

@@thrillchaser9492 I knew there was an extention you could put on the back, see this video of a model version... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fdaCisljksWRoI0.html But that Transi lift... 😲

@Bill Williams whoops slip of the tongue, I was not aware of that incident, sorry if it caused offence, I know people died.

I think SpaceX has the bigger version of it.

@@simonquvang6073 bigger than what....lmao

lol That's what I was thinking too!!!

Check out liebherr open house crane lifting crane. You'll be very impressed.

I helped weld alot of crane booms while I was working at Manitowoc cranes

Thomas Sellers so, so true,

I bet Big Billy Bunter standing on the counterweights stopped that massive crane from toppling over, looked hellish expensive operation.

It must’ve been over the weight limit.

1:48

I'm also impressed to see the little kid rig weighed 130000!

Well, really he kept his load radius tight until he attached more counter weight.

🤣👍🏻🤣👍🏻

TNT is one of the BEST crane companies not only in Texas but the USA alone, most of our work is done in refineries or plants. Extensive lift plans, each rigger is Advanced Gold Plus NCCER certified. Most crane fails or at least 85% are over seas from clowns that don’t know the difference in a choker or basket hitch and couldn’t calculate a lid to save they’re life.

@@kennethpigg8782 Yes most accidents are caused they rarely just happen.

Are you asking why the tower could be hauled across?

Scared? What the hell for?

Been several years ago for me, but used to be around pier rigs a lot, and they all used kellies. Typically two or three telescoping sections. Since they don't use drill pipe, just the telescoping kelly, there is no real advantage to a top drive system.

Adding the costs for having a suitable temporary bridge engineered, fabricated, installed, disassebled and removed PLUSS the fines for overrunning the time schedule; possible not.

Some bridge Mats could probably over just been overlaid on the existing bridge. Mammoet does it all the time. That said the crane works fine. Have actually picked way more weight than that with an 18000.

mammoet is also superior to all crane/ rigging companies out there!

@@kristoffMR ummm no not at all. Mammoet almost took my arm in 2016. Mammoet shockloaded the lr11350 on the same job with 22ton on the hook 300ft from center pin. Watched them hang the Derrick boom of the demag 3800 on the same job as well. Had their cantilever beam explode on us this February during prelift checks. Mammoet is just another crane and rigging company. They are far from the best.

@@kristoffMR No. Good outfit, but just one of many. All use competent, professional people who are serious about the work they perform.

Not a chance, you'd have to use a big one and get it there somehow. Sometimes you just gotta lash out to to get stuff done.

there's a dozen ways to do this easier, safer, cheaper. but those things were ignored when someone decided money must be spent. so every now and again you'll see these outrageously ridiculous lifts and moves happening that don't need to be. government, big businesses, taxes, politicians..... ya know. those people

That would make a boring video.

The crane might be over the weight limit that the bridge can handle

They dont have any jib on that crane.

Yeah we all know that

@@simonchant761 well if the guy is going to correct the video he should at least be correct himself

The tracks on that crane are 80k lbs a track. I've hauled them and set the 18000 up before on wind mill projects.

240 feet of boom.

@@johnrauner2515 wow alrighty then

There's a troll living under it who charges an exuberant toll for anything larger than itself to cross because it was teased for being small as a child and has insecurity issues.

Nommy ohhhh makes sense

Like you could do any better

@@John-rambo84 that matters?

It's all too heavy for the bridge. You missed the whole point.....fool

Lol no it doesn't Its a 120ton crane and thats only with full counterweight at like 10ft radius. Crane probably weighs about half without ballast. Ballast is 31ton alone but they didn't fly it with ballast

@@kylevanwinkle2081 Ok I don't know that much about cranes but I was thinking there was no way that crane weighs 120 tons with or without ballast. I still can't believe that mobile crane can lift 120 tons. But I guess maybe it can.

@@electrolytics that little 120 we had 2 of them set up to move a 51ton vessel off a trailer. And each was maxed out 120ton isn't really realistic capacity. They dont even ship the cranes out with 120ton lift blocks because they will never lift 120ton except in super specific conditions. The average 100ton cran ships with a 70-80ton lift block for instance. Most ive picked with a 100ton i think was like 40ish ton and it had to be right up on it. The crawler crane lifting the smaller crane can be setup to be incredibly strong and quite far distances. Especially with the added ballast tray like they have. Ive actually made my biggest lift with a similar crane tailing a 1000t crane that was lifting 510ton so at start the tailing crane was holding 255ton and lost weight as the larger crane stood the tower up. Cranes are such simple machines that can do incredibly complex tasks as long as they are set up correctly and load charts are followed

@@kylevanwinkle2081 Thanks for the info. I've driven trucks for 18 years and worked on the railroad as a switchman. I know my weights pretty good. That's what I initially thought....there's no way that vehicle itself weighs 120 tons. Then I thought maybe 120 tons means it's lifting capacity..but I thought that was a little steep too.

@@electrolytics some of the crane designed require the crane to be heavier than the load others not so much. Its all about leverage. I've worked with cranes where the boom its self was 500t and to stand the boom up off the ground you needed 1200ton of ballast on top of the cranes base weight itself. We made a pick at 394ft of 250t with a 2500t crane and iirc we had 1300tons of auxiliary ballast and 250ton of main ballast to reach that far using the 450ft boom. This put the boom angle as a fairly low degree meaning the leverage the crane had was low thus the high ballast weight. Look up deep south crane or mammoet they do some extremely heavy lifting and have some of the largest cranes in the world. We sub contract both companies out fairly regularly. We use tnt sometimes as well.

It is so hard to mute...

Poor you ! LOL mute it ...like i do everytime i don't wanna ear something !!!

The bridge is probably not even designed for 40 tons.

Well said Mark
