This is one of the first wrecking ball videos were the crane operator is actually very experienced with the ball he hits a good effective hit almost evey time even on the narrow steel beams
@@aaronhuffman4852 I used a headache ball one time on a small job with a smaller crane. I am a retired crane operator and had the privilege to operator some of the greatest cranes made including the Manitowoc Vicon 4100 on a ringer. I also used a small Koehring with the headache ball. It is true the Manitowoc is a well built tank of a machine but NO crane needs to be used like that. Side loading the boom and snatching the machine is just horrible. In my opinion, I would not take a crane used for this type work and put it on a job picking and hauling over anyones head. You would have to do one bad ass inspection for me to use it on a construction job. It is almost like dedicating a good machine to this type work. Might be where the old machines go to die. My son in law works for a large crane rental company. He rents cranes for large jobs that last for sometimes up to a couple of years. He was telling me that today, it is very hard to find operators especially for the older machines. They all want hydraulic and air conditioning. Go figure. Sorry help these days.
@@jerryhubbard4461my first time in one last week to get my feet wet was intimidating! It takes allot of time to be a skilled operator! We use ours mostly to off load raw materials from barges!
Perdue is a great school. On colleges in general: the next time you see a college professor criticizing our consumer driven throw away culture take it with a grain of salt. Colleges wrote the book on wasteful ego-driven spending. By the way, the book is $250 and you must buy the latest edition.
All Hail Purdue! What's left. Standing joke to call it John Purdue's last erection, visible across both sides of town. A weather indicator at night lit up in all it's industrial glory. Palladian windows when they were the new art revival. Now the skyline seen from the other side is dotted with a constellation of red lights, Purdue Aviation training...
I actually originally bought it in 2014 from the original owner in Grand Rapids, MI and then sold it to someone in Arizona, so unfortunately it's probably different. Good luck finding it though!
Au man,habe mir das ganze Video angesehen und muss korrigieren. Luff hätte es 100 mal schneller mit einem halb so großen Gerät gemacht. Guckt euch es an bei RU-vid. FA Luff Abbruch
@@aaronhuffman4852 I understand the laws of physics, which makes it easy to understand what the problem is in this video. I realize an uneducated person such as yourself is unable to think in this capacity, which also explains your childish reply.
Well this is the way we used to demolish buildings. Today we use high reach excavators with shears and quickly nip away small pieces, push over bigger sections.
I owned a 1984 Crown VIC, it was parked on a residential street and some low-life crashed Into the rear of my car totaling it. Was a hit and run. No whitnesses. Had full coverage but it was not fixable. Dont' make the any more. Like to find another one.
@@wave5377 Your right. My problem, there were no apartment parking lot. Like most residential parking in my area. The road is plenty wide enough. The speed is 30 mph on our street, people are in excess speed. Terrible thing. Thanks for chat. Take care. 👍
I know I know, this operator has a lot of skill and experience, bla bla bla. When I see that one of these, smash the pillar vertically, mmmmm, bad thing. You have to take advantage of the structure lacks : hit in a way that the estructure are weack.
please tell me where the demolition of the building took place and what kind of building is being demolished with a wrecking ball ? in Moscow, old houses are no longer demolished like this
Im susprized that the crane and wrecking ball are still used in modern day 2000's. Most buildings here in northwest ohio all get torn down with excavators with buckets or claws, neat piece of old technology still working
