Lacing is when the rope comes into one side of the block, reeving the rope comes into the centre of the block. Reeving keeps the block even.

I see you haven’t been in a “boating” accident.🤣🤣🤣

When are we going to see it on you tube? Just kidding.

The short was good!

I hope everything is going good. Your videos are missed. I hope you get back to it if and when you want to.

Do yall wear ear plugs?

This blows my mind cause i was one of the helpers setting this building

The right way is you tighten the pin all the way back it off

I'm the guy who would normally be out in the cold and wet working down a hole looking up at the crane driver sleeping in his cab "during a session where lift not required" and swear that in my next life I'm coming back as a crane operator 😅 thanks for a great explanation 👍

Chris guins gave me an idea to subscribe jimmy

This channel is wayyyyy underrated, good ass content

NEVER back a shackle off its old talk which is now advised not to so tighten it up by hand only

Ironworkers will get pissed if you send them a shackle fully tightened

Good video. Straight to the point

Nice video! Amazon sells cheap chest GoPro mounts, they’re nice for if you want to film and still use both hands.

good video. had to translate it to myself lol. we use Slew in Australia rather than Swing, interesting the Liebherr does "Stick Left is Boom down, Stick Right is Boom Up" - alot of their controls are Away From Chassis >> Towards Chassis. Cant say ive driven many Tadano's hence why I am watching

Hii I'm Crane operator . Form Bangladesh.

Thank you sir !

Whats yours guys yard/ shop set up? Looked like the shop space was just used as parking?

The first time I picked up a 5 yard bucket of concrete in a tower crane I almost crapped my pants. I went from about a 5 degree up angle, looking over the mountains, to a 5 or more down angle looking straight out to rooftops!!

Really enjoy how calm cool and collected you are in your videos.

According to Chris fix CRL isnt made for aluminum. It will destroy it over time.

Need some new vids I’m taking my practical and written this week for TSS love watching the vids.

Is the fly jib and boom extensions considered as load handling device and do I have to included it when I want to know the load gross weight

I love all your video's from South Africa

update on the manitex vs trex vs national questions I had so, my local guy has been running a 30102WL rear mount, wrong winch, only 3500 pound line pull, he just recently got an older 30112S, correct winch and all that, the trucks 10ft shorter, outriggers have a half span chart, all that good stuff, got it out on a job 2 days ago and it blew out something in the rotator fitting for the continuous rotation, and the operator was complaining about how you have to run it nearly wide open on the go pedal to get any sort of fine control or multiple functions, whereas the 30102 will run 2 or 3 functions at idle BTW, that 30112s was having some problems with the hydraulics, telescope and boom hoist control wouldn't work till you give it a ton of throttle and it'd act like a spring and jump up or down really bad

This was an excellent display of knowledge. Thanks for sharing brother!

Great video, however I have a question. I'm trying to find a reeving diagram for the booms on a large crawler crane to no avail. All I can find are blurry pictures of actual cranes and there's a whole lot of weird things happening with the rope. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks sir I really appreciate

I have been asking about this. Nobody could explain it. Thank you for elucidating it.

My biggest concern was the bending moment on that lower shackle that seemed to be in sheer !

What good is this is you don't show how you are using more than one stick at a time.

I just found your last two videos. One more to go!

This is a fantastic tutorial on rigging. I have been in the industry for 30 plus years and I always back the pin off a quarter turn or maybe a bit less. If you are using your equipment within the design specifications there should not be any issues. There is most certainly a calculated risk with anything you remove from the ground with any rigging even when the equipment is well maintained and within operating specifications. The risk is always there..I agree with what you said wholeheartedly.

Where was the can of Ajax or comet ? 👍

I’m a construction management student, this really helped me understand what I needed for a hypothetical project. Thanks a lot man

Coolant these days is supposed to be embittered.

what’s the easiest way to find sling angle using sling length and pick point distance?

Hey man will you go live again?? I have questions to ask!

Dollar waiting on a dime… 😮

I ve recently up my crane career started with a new company doing rentals. I've gone from a 30 ton boom truck to a linkbelt HTC 8690. I am looking to learn and found you as great awareness information. Thanks for the good work on the videos. Well kept Cranes, love it .

You have been an inspiration to me and helped me a lot!!! I appreciate your teaching and explaining what you’re doing. I’m about to start my new job as an apprentice ( I guess ) to start getting my hours and learn to be a Crain operator in SC… would love to connect and explain…

Guessing the pain of the pins coming out may equal the pain of straightening the bones in ER.

Don't do it I messed mine up doing that

Can you predict the weather

I will have to watch this again. I missed some of it.

It’s ok you have helped me so much just by making videos. Real life crane experience is awesome…keep up the great videos. I’m about to make a leap into a crane because of your videos. I would love to share with you.

in class now 56 years old looking forard to change done with over the road good job ser
