Those jobs are fun. I just did one the bosses kid looked at and it was similar. I pull a dolly here in alberta and had to drop that in the comunity baseball field( lawn carnage). Then tear all the trees and scratch the crane to get in and around on some dry difflock style hills, and setup with 2" tailswing to swing a cabin from one lot over to the next and down the hill 75' away. Bent stacks on the trucks and everything. Rigger dodging falling branches as we stoned up. I feel some details got missed on the site visit. Lol

Hey mate was wondering if you could make a video on different types of ways of lifting loads. Just good to see and learn new ir you had time.

Another great video Jimmy .

Great to have you back Jimmy! Small wonder that the locals didn't have a fit with such a large vehicle on the Avenue. Two questions for you. When your crab steering the Tedano does the rear wheels operate off of the steering wheel like a telehandler or do the operate off a separate control? Also why did you have to change the line parting setup in order to reset the stone? Great video and thanks for sharing!

@ToTheTopCrane

Жыл бұрын

Thanks Matt! I don't usually have any issues with local traffic. Most people stay pretty far away. When I am steering the rear manually, I use some switches on the console to control the rear axles. In auto mode, the computer steers the rear up to a set speed, then the rear steer is locked out. I have to use more than one part of line to handle my counterweights. So tearing the crane down required the multiple parts of line, which we just left alone once we saw where we were setting the stone. Which made it faster. From the time we backed into where the stone was to be placed, to when we were done, was literally under 20 minutes. Many thanks for watching! 🏗

With something like that, the uncertain ground conditions and tight quarters, I wouldn't consider that slow. It's the perfect speed.

So as a non crane operator, was it because of the range that the 100 ton could not do it? 7500 pounds does not sound that heavy by itself.

@petejohnson8397

Жыл бұрын

range is exactly the issue. I'll give you an example... my 17ton boomtruck has a capacity of 34,000 lbs at 5ft horizontal distance from the centerline of rotation. at 75ft distance it is only 700lbs. Then you have all the under hook capacity deductions (jib stowed to main boom, weight of the cable downhaul weight, even the weight of the cable itself etc etc.) I have set 7,500lb cemetary markers before with my little boom truck, but I was parked very close.

The ball weighs 660 pounds. The block weighs 1800 pounds. So changing to the single part, removes almost 1200 pounds of deduction. Which gives me an additional 1200 pounds for the pick if necessary. Hope that all makes sense. Many thanks for watching! 🏗

How do you like the Tadano? How does it compare to a Link-Belt, in your opinion?

So did you set the marker on big blocks of ice so you could get the straps out? Theory is as the ice melts it will set the stone down after you get it set in place. Watched a video where Ron Pratt did one with the rotator.

The paper work involved in the moving of remains is really involved. Doesn't always depend on family. Local governments usually get involved with permits for exhmation, transport, reinterpret and the cost from the cemetery for lots, opening and closing the Graves, new vaults and that's just the start. Yeah this kind of thing really is for families with waaaaay too much money.

I don't want to know how much bad luck it would be; And I don't want to know how "they" feel about [someone] messing with them; I believe they are not in a position to care, however out of all of the 'afterlife' belief systems on the planet, not one of them can provide even shaky, much less solid _evidence_ that their way is the real way.
