Recap by Tammy AI

My all time favourite documentary channel,, always the best

When it comes to machines Germany is number one in the world. Made is Germany is original, reliable, durable and long lasting . I love you Germany from Uganda 🤝🤝😀😀. I love the WELT team please thanks for the informative and educational documentaries. We at least feel Germany at a distance.

I appreciate the operator of the multi-millions crane with next gen technology… how he waves NOO! to the guy outside. Sweet irony of human superiority. That crane operator’s Mum raised her a decent boy. 👍

Well done. It's unfortunate that the US channels like History, TLC, Discovery used to do things like this, but now they are just stupid.

Very interesting and nicely done. Thanks for producing and sharing this video.

A big lift.! We'll done everybody. And a hat tip to the Structural engineers..!.. 🇭🇲

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

Knowing DB, the "temporary" train bridge will be "temporary" until it needs to be replaced with another "temporary" bridge.

I really like these machines, I also make a lot of videos about them on my channel

Good work welt, I like the narrator voice too

Wonderful, well done chaps.

A vert good video, "Giants at work" lovely machines.

Love the mobile Crain operator with old glory on his hat. 👍🏻🇺🇸

the ltm 1759 is listed to a 800 ton crane. great report with lots of details of the action.

I love the American flag on the crane driver's hat

utterly fascinating. Don't think I would sleep too well knowing I would have to do that the next day.

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.

There's nothing quite as gratifying as big rigging and having a job well done along with continuous safety practices. I personally operated cranes for the past twenty six years and absolutely miss it to the max.

Great videos guys, love them. Ive just started back in the industry in Australia after being out of it for over 20yrs, not much improvement in that time that I can see……. I love the music in your videos! Keep up the good work I always look forward to the new content, cheers!

A one plain simple fact : Germans are masters of Engineering!

Best Ducumentry film..🖐

I spent the full wknd watching Sarens cranes,lift concrete bridge sections being lifted into place, on the A465 dualling project in S Wales u,k amazing project.

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

Liebherr has the most sophisticated cranes in the world. Used everywhere in the world when challenging tasks have to resolved like collapsed twin towers etc ..

wäre super wenn es dir Dokumentation auch auf deutsch geben würde Meine Frage wäre kann man die Doku auch auf deutsch sehen ?

20:40 seems like even Germany can't escape these entitled people.. 😔 In Australia we have entitled people commonly parking in disabled zones & selfish people no longer waiting at red lights.

My guy Bent is the Goat of casual confidence.

I wish you would Just post the video when it's ready to be uploaded, premiers are just a pain in the ar$e.

Great video. No switching back and forth to different sites with cliff hanger tags each time. I wish the US versions were handled this way. jack, In The Valley of The Sun, Arizona USA

Nice videos... keep continue.. congratulations the team

What a really interesting and informative video 👍👏👏

Noticed the crane driver has an American flag on the side of his hat!🇺🇸🇺🇸

Japan and Germany were defeated during WW2 But No one can defeat their HIGH TECH!

My all time favourite 🇰🇪

Always amaize the Germany engineering

Amazing, mind blowing machine...

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.

Welt has the best docs, Then there’s FD. But need more.

Perfect job👏👏👏

Sounds like the @Kurzgesagt narrator did some voiceover work on this!

Why that stupid music, like they go for a quest to hunt a dragon. It's just a crane.

Both operators are good smokers lol

Brilliant day out 😊

Impressive, very impressive. One thing that did surprise me, using gas to cut the old iron railway bridge whilst the gas bottles were laid down on thier sides and that includes what looks like acetylene. Not good or safe practice.

Awesome

Don’t ya love ol’ glory on Bernt’s ball cap!

If the access to the site is supposed to be blocked, and cars still get in, not once but several times, someone did not do their job properly. Cannot blame the car drivers or chances.

Wow Coming on very well Is there any update if the underside of the roof it getting any work done yet? Looking through the windows and it does look like internal work is going on Oh , anyone know if the electrical side is gonna be live anytime soon Last I saw it looked months away on the local boards but there small fry if the m m sun boards are ready to go I’m glad the FA or who ever released the audio of the VAR. And I’m also very impressed with the manager and club in there response That was class from the manager interview on MOTD to the response from the fans. Yes a massive F up but amazing how you all have taken it And that’s from a Man Utd fan Great as Always

Good job

Realy I like this video

Good vedio

Nice view

now I'm impressed

This is cool .as a young man I work on bridge crews.but nothing like this.

Yes it is shock to lift up Bridge

Woow the Big Crane

USA USA USA Let’s Go brandon 🍦🍦🍦

Narrator says wind caused it to turn.....worker says it arrived the wrong way around...🤷

I like the guy, he wears an American flag on his hat, more patriotic than most Americans ha.

That block was laced NOT reved. Reved is when the axis of shives are hanging 90° from each other

A German operator using USA base ball cap

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!

Lol that briefing though.

Smoking a cig while lifting a bridge 😆

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

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

Stran jacks can lift more than any crane.. But can only lift. It can tram Laterally if rigged on hydro gantrys.

What about the truck driver? Who drives 100mph the wrong way besides a criminal

the ones that put that bridge up 100 years ago with no big crane would be shaking their heads bet it tuck longer to get the crane on site and put it up then it tuck to build the bridge in the 1st place

Germany engineering is above

love it a different story when it was brexit

Get rid of the dramatic music, I hate modern documentary how they try and turn everything into a reality tv show, big crane jobs are interesting and impressive not a drama, it's called over producing, the subject matter is interesting enough without your artistic creativity thanks

FASCINATING TO BE SURE ! ======== MATTS'

Wow, they only last 20 years and the equipment needed to replace them really doesn't seem worth the cost!

Hell no I don't want a 34,000.00 job they'll cut off my Snap Benefits! 😆😆😆

Germany has some strict road laws. In NL that 205ton ballast would take 3 trucks to get it there. Also the outrigers could stay on the crain, same with the hook. The german roads are soft and badly meantained.

Quintillion and quintillion dollars business giant crane

Какая жесть ютуб блокирует субтитры во фразе "без |сучка́| и задоринки" . Вообще сука литературное слово, алло ютуб

The old bridge would have lead base primer on it and yet the workers are cutting it with oxy and not wearing respirators .

28:12 объясните не разумному, что это за мост такой странный! Или это акведук?

Viva Germany

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 ?

Great work however the lady at the job site wearing leggings is not the appropriate attire for a construction site. Germany the coolest equipment and provides some of the best training.

Jesustiama👏👏👏👏🌟⭐️👍👍👍

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.

How many different documentaries are you gonna make outta this one bridge replacement. This is at least the third documentary you’ve made with this footage you just changed the title… I’m very disappointed with this…

Impossible to drive the pins by hand???? When i worked for Patterson UTI drilling we would climb the derrick while it was sideways with sledgehammers and drive pins larger than the ones in this video don't get me wrong great video thank you I appreciate the laugh

That crane operator for the railroad bridge sure looks pwetty with all his earwings lol!

#34:10 my new paint…!

🌷🌷

PLEASE stop saying "so-called". It's COMPLETELY unnecessary. If that is what something it called, that is its name.

🌷🌷🌷

Put all that weight on a car 💪🤣

wheres the womens quota?

Why wouldn’t they have the Mobil crane arrive a day earlier instead of the same day?!. Seems pretty stupid to bring it since you have time limits already against you. Just drama not needed. With the money being spent to do this job it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to add on a little more to have the fox river there with the truck earlier so he is well rested and ready to start fresh. And here I thought the Germans were intelligent.

I saw a movie where giant robots did it faster by "Transforming"

🌷

I wish my boom is same big
