GIANTS IN GERMANY: Mega cranes - Heavyweights in Action | WELT Documentary
Ғылым және технология
A railroad bridge has to be laid over a four-lane federal highway near Flensburg. It is made of steel, 46 meters long, eight meters wide, over three meters high and weighs 267 tons. Two mobile cranes are needed for this. They weigh over 100 tons and can lift up to 1,000 tons. These extreme weightlifters first have to be assembled themselves, and their parts transported to construction sites.This report shows how they are assembled and used.

So they know the bridge needs changing. And yet put in an expensive "temporary bridge". I think they may not have wanted to have the plans drawn up with the heading "Final Solution" written on them ( unlike our colleagues in a German subsidiary who would regularly talk about "the final solution" to project issues on conference calls. We all just looked at our feet .... )
A vert good video, "Giants at work" lovely machines.
the ltm 1759 is listed to a 800 ton crane. great report with lots of details of the action.
Some crane handling things that weren't mentioned, a crane operator can plumb himself up by watching which way the hook goes as tension is put on and following it, then slacking, and tensioning until the hook doesn't move horizontally. When picking up and setting down heavy objects, the crane computer must be watched as well, as weight is gained the boom will deflect outwards, and if you don't boom up, the load will swing away from the crane, likewise while setting down. And with an uncooperative long load, get the tag line, stand in one place and let the crane maneuver it to where the other end can be grabbed, then send it

Yes as an operator here in the states they don’t say in video but also as the boom is tilted forward meaning away from the operator.This cause extensive tip weight meaning the down ward force exerted on the boom and cable combination can cause a massive over load hence cause the crane to fail.That is why the extensive extending of the boom and having the proper length of the in the overalll crane length is necessary to prevent to forward and shocking the crane in the tip weight.this video was excellent and very informative and yes the over view of the extensive counter weights is necessary also too control the fine tune of a balancing act and the tip weight.Once against THANKYOU FOR YOUR GREAT VIDEO
I myself work at a Prefab concrete factory. And the steel net is made somewhere else. Under Germany. And really always, there are rods in the way. If you want to apply provisions. Because on the drawing it fits with the rods. But there is always a wide anchor point, no matter what has to go through first. And that is never taken into account. Greetings from Spakenburg, the Netherlands.

So in other words the LTM750 is the world's longest and heaviest road worthy RC vehicle

So what was the actual weight of the old bridge estimated at 67T ?

Yes it is shock to lift up Bridge
Japan and Germany were defeated during WW2 But No one can defeat their HIGH TECH!
Narrator says wind caused it to turn.....worker says it arrived the wrong way around...🤷
Both operators are good smokers lol
Realy I like this video
Sounds like the @Kurzgesagt narrator did some voiceover work on this!
strange how one of the crane outriggers is allowed on that apparently unconsolidated clay apron, would have thought the whole crane footprint area needs to be concreted
Germany may be number 1 in engineering, but it's really sad that they didn't add anything about the new bridge which will be installed at a later date!
I enjoy your videos a lot, however the continual use of the term "so called" multiple times in every single video is just plain annoying, there's no need for it so please just stop using it.
Woow the Big Crane
That block was laced NOT reved. Reved is when the axis of shives are hanging 90° from each other
Stran jacks can lift more than any crane.. But can only lift. It can tram Laterally if rigged on hydro gantrys.
Ok documentary, got a bit fed up with the overly dramatic soundtrack and " up a bit"...."means go up"! Really? Never would have figured that out, thanks narrator.
I wonder what the cost is for this job.

And you wonder why civil engineering works cost so much. "I'd like a crane please" .. "OK. It will need several trucks with special platforms. And another crane. And then hours and hours and many people just to get it together". And after all the work on the railway bridge, it's only temporary. That is a bit of a nonsense, no ?

@@stanthology I agree. And then there is the UK civil engineering. Reading the Guardian newspaper (you'll find the article online ), the spend hundreds of thousands of GBP infilling disused railway bridges in the UK. Nobody tells the body responsible for the bridges. They put thousands of tonnes of concrete under the railway span. And in many cases, the disused track bed was being used as cycleways for recreation. Nothing was put in place to facilitate joining up the pathway in some other way.

LR11000 job: shocked little about safety on the working site.. Some of personnel don’t have full PPE; operator is filming right under the suspended load; the guy disconnecting the rigging is connected to the hoist point in horizontal to a rope near sharp metal edges (WTF! crazy violation), instead of using the Yo-Yo to the crane hook. I hope the ground bearing a capacity for the crane is good enough to stand on 1 layer of azobe mats.. crane reaches the limit, there is no engineering and lifting plan for such job? “Only when the load is suspended, crane operator knows the weight”, ridiculous in heavy lifting preparations :) Thumbs DOWN to the project manager, but good work for the movie itself.

Might be called "temporary" to avoid the regulations, estimates, detailed design etc of a "permanent" bridge. Might be the intention that it will be the permanent bridge for the foreseeable future.
