40ft or 1100...a fall from either equal the same results. Anything over 30 doesnt really matter if you fall

Worked with the Leibherr 550s back in the 90s as a signalman... They were all electric but they were super smooth.... it always astonished me when they jumped them.... always expected them to break but they never did... thankfully

Beautiful footage and fantastic interview. -IUOE Local 9 😎

That was cool, what a nice guy! hope all the best for him and his family!

That crane is a TG2300-B. Its a diesel powered hydraulic crane. Most cranes are electric. However, because of this ones set up, it can lift a substantially greater weight than any electric crane. There are about 3 in North America right now. I'm currently working on one in Canada.

Nicely done operating engineer , great video and explanation!

I was a Union Iron Worker..Connected in L.A. nothing was better than working with a good operator. They are special...

Thanks for keepin us Ironworkers safe brother

It's usually disassembled into pieces that can be hoisted by smaller cranes or with the use of gin-poles, structures attached to the side of the structure being built. After construction, those gin-poles are removed and the building's outside is completed. I would not rule out the use of a helicopter to transport the biggest parts.
