My Dad was a proud 60 year member of Local 2375 in Wilmington ,CA. Dad passed away on Feb.15, 2019. Pile Butts are some of the hardest working people on the face of the earth imo

Good job guys this is Ryan lewis Pile Butt Rhino local 34 till i die !!! Piledriver/welder...

Sketchy crane my ass. That’s a bad ass rig for driving pile. I’ve run that rig. It’s a link belt truck crane (238) 125 ton. Perfect for driving batter pile along side the highway.

Seems like a lot of body parts under heavy steel, lots of work to align as well. Glad we run Berminghammer setup, hanging leads are rare up here.

Great Video. Reminds me of growing up in Worcester mass where Wyman Gordon used to start there Hammer at 7:00am Sharp (Was my kid alarm clock). Andy m

Nice upload

Nice work, fellow brother

I miss the sound of the load going down & that brake squeak . Nothing like those old friction cranes .

I have some videos of pile diving ( locals 49 & 1836)! Interesting to see the different ways and rigging! Work safe 🤙

Even with the earplugs, it seems like that would be deafening.

Steady the fucking camera next time and show us the base of the pile at ground level so we can see each increment on the pile going in. ie; each blow! Yes, this is cool. We drive smaller piles with hydraulic hammers. 2-8 inch pipe and 6-8 inch WF

I don't know what they're driving piles for but the piles are all crooked and whats with the showing off for, that's for teenagers. I wouldn't hire them.
