Some really great looking machines in this video. I have watched the smaller cranes being picked up by progressively larger cranes, several times. It is an extremely impressive demonstration. I think I remember one demonstration where the largest crane is lifting and holding a total of 4 cranes that are each one lifting a smaller crane, down the line. For a company to sponsor a demonstration like this, they would have super confidence in their engineers, designs, operators, riggers, materials, and assembled machines, when one weak point, or mistake could mean a monumental disaster.

Great comment as usual

I feel like when a documentary has to point out that it's free, it's actually an ad

I operate a Tadano 200t capacity crane almost daily. They are great machines. Part of what I do on my channel is to show the career of a crane operator from a unique perspective. Both from the operators seat and the behind the scenes. This is a great video. Thanks for making it. 🙂👍

I like how he says operators are highly trained specialists. For the most part they are. I work in this industry and I have seen many of them that have no business running one of these machines. However there carelessnesse provides me a large pay check and endless work.

I am actually building a Lego crawler crane! It is really tiny compared to even small crawler cranes, since it started out as a medium sized excavator, and it has been turned into a material handler right now, but I can easily switch it between material handler, crane, and excavator. I am sure I would really like having a diecast construction equipment model, but I have looked at the prices and the models cost about as much as the real cranes!

Amazing the way cranes are built. Very precision built from computer drafting to testing. I was a operating engineer crane operator in the 70s, 80s 90s and early 20s before retiring. Most operators started as crane oiters as apprentice to crane operators. All cranes in cab has a load chart but throughout years working every work site has its challenge and physics. The operator attitude, physical and experience must be in top shape. I wish they had something like this back than. But now cranes are bigger, heavier, and booms are higher can't see the job and. Amazing !!!!!

I thought this crane documentary would have more cranes in it.

These guys should have at least one camera drone and one camera at the top of the boom to help facilitate the pick. Just a thought.

Jeff Boat had these very large cranes that sat way up high. They rolled on rail road tracks and were used to build barges and tow boats. When I was a child mom would take me to the flood wall to watch them work. It's a fond memory. One day somehow one of the cranes, there were several got yanked over and crashed, killing the operator. I believe the load got to going down too fast and when the brake was applied it toppled the damn thing. It takes awhile to fall over from 100 ft high, it must have been a terrifying last few seconds of life. I don't believe I have the nerve to operate a crane, huge stuff gives me the willies.
