Sorry to hear about the accident glad to hear you’re OK that would suck not being able to operate a crane anymore I enjoy it very much and hope you enjoy the videos thank you for your support
It would seem to me that a 'fail-point' in the process on any given day would be UNDERSTANDING what the person on the ground is saying. I assume it's usually the same person, so you can work as a familiar team, but maybe not. Thanx for posting.
No problem glad you’re enjoying the videos yes I usually work with the same person every day sometimes it changes and you just have to adjust that’s what makes a great crane operator is being able to adjust on a moments notice stay tuned I’ll be more videos to come appreciate the support
Damn... i am a new crane operator and have been working for 3 days now. Now You are working way slower than i do because the workers down there are always get mad and yell at me if i start to slow down.. hate them with passion!
Sometimes I work slow sometimes I work fast it depends on the crew and how much I trust them when you’re a crane operator it’s all about trust with the people on the ground they can get as mad as they want to at the end of the day they don’t run the crane you do
@@towercranetelevision6140 too right mate, speed of production is on the ground, crane can only move so fast , but I find most of the time waiting is because groundies haven’t got their shit sorted.
@towercranetelevision6140 exactly.. mobile crane op here in NJ/NY area... riggers, contractors, signal-men .. they can get as mad as they want, at the end of the day they ain't the operator, we are, and all the liability falls on us when it comes to the crane. As the operator on site, I have the final say on whatever does or doesn't happen when it comes to the crane regardless of how they feel
Go to a school and receive your license, then apply at every place you see until you get a job, start out as a rigger if need be until you can get a set in a tower crane
On the screen you have a load charts with a scale telling you your weight a length telling you how far out your trolley is and it's corresponding maximum load at the specific length at the tip of the crane I'm under its 16,000 lbs at the very tip of its boom you also have wind speed on the screen witch can drastically change the capabilities of operation for the day.
@@towercranetelevision6140 You have plenty of room behind that seat to put a microwave/fridge. Then you would be set. Those cabs are roomy. It looks like you are still in the dirt so you should be there for awhile. Good luck
This job is scheduled for 18 months I should be here about 24 months due to weather and scheduling I have a refrigerator on the deck of the Luffer do not have a microwave I bring my lunch in every morning I love the room in the cab not so claustrophobic I love that anyway I hope you have a great day tune in next time for another edition tower crane Television thank you for watching
