Gas Turbine Generator
To The Top Crane | In this video, I use our Tadano 180g-5 to work on the intake of a gas turbine generator. The air intake had developed some rust that was being ingested by the jet engine inside the generator. Therefore it had to be replaced.
The crane was configured with 110k lbs of counterweights, full span outriggers, four parts of line on the main winch and one part of line on the auxiliary winch.

In this video, I use our Tadano 180g-5 to install new antennas on an existing cell tower. This tower job ended up running into the night time. Which is terrible for crane work. Especially on tower work. The crane is configured with 197 feet of main boom, 83 feet of jib, 26,000 pounds of counterweight and full span outriggers.

Pipe Dreams | Installing drain pipe
Просмотров 4,8 тыс.11 месяцев назад
In this video, we use our Tadano 180g -5 to set an 8 foot diameter, 90 foot long drainage pipe. This pipe is used to control the levels in an oxbow lake that is adjacent to the Missouri River. As the river rises, the pipe can be opened or closed to allow the water level in the lake to be controlled. During the flood of 2019, the old pipe was nearly washed out. Given this, it was decided that a ...

The plane suffered a mechanical failure of one of the landing gear components. The flight crew circled the airport for quite a while trying to get it sorted out. When they got low on fuel, they had no choice but to attempt a single gear landi...

Awesome really awesome
Where's the outrigger pads? Why isn't there an additional spotter? Why do the guys on the ground not have hard hats on?
👍
💯👍
Lol I like it " 😂 built the car around it"
I got lost in class a little bit on slope
Awesome, too bad you couldn’t just load that dirt into a triaxle
Thanks for the AWESOME videos! I hope you have time to keep them coming.
Preciate all the info. Have to re-cert tomorrow and brushing up on the basics. You would make a great trainer
As someone who likes to trespass onto cranes thank you very much!
Jimmy... where ya at buddy? Time for another crane video! 😎
Is it better to use a thimble than without or there a time and place for one?
Nice ❤
How do you get past the movement and deflection of the boom!?! Makes my ass pucker!
i owned one for a while, 855 Cummings, 3 stage twin disc,,very nice machine,bought it in 96 for 165k sold it 2 yrs later for 215k never broke ran it everyday, there appears no lowering clutchs,so kick out master in gauge clutch,an run machinery backwards with brake
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.
