Great video for us noobs. Nice and simple and super easy to understand. Half the difficulty is understanding the best path for the load. This explained it well.
Ive always found working in the blind ill give a rough distance to the op especially on small movements. I never say 'taps' or 'bumps', they are not distances, 'just over half a meter', '300mm' and '150mm' for example . 3m and 1m calls when travelling are good so the operator can catch his swing
Old mate, if you lower the hook first a couple feet from the load it is much easier to see where you actually are with the trolly, or boom. Nice video's its a lot of common practise. did some dogging in Straya, love how you guys talk to the crane operator, its more like music than I do it in dutch.. workwise just as smooth ofcourse.
Hey mate, loving the videos. Nice to refresh my current knowledge and see a different trainers perspective on things. Can always learn…. I am curious though, that dunnage stack on the drivers front right, the 2nd level of the stack or last level should always be horizontal to the outrigger to prevent slippage, not inline with the outrigger, every other one was done properly bar this one! At least this is how I have stacked my dunnage and never been picked up on civil sites in NSW. That one outrigger is incorrect no?
I've always kept keyed in, while the crane is in motion. What if I had a brick knock me out, or had a stroke? The operator would keep moving by your method (5:54). Something to think about.
if you constantly communicate with the operator and give function speed and distance like a good dogman should, he will know when something is up and when to stop
Cheers mate but i figured I'd give the old fella pulling levers a break and it's hard enough teaching students to do two motions at a time let alone three
Good work here well done. Two hands on that load. That's why you have a mike on your radio. Just about to touch down and I'm jibbing down on the brick cage. If you can, find a place in the blind, to practice.
@@kieranstraining I watched it a bit more after I commented and realised it was Multiskills. Would have loved to do the dogmas course with you, didn't realise you were Melbourne based
hopefully when you do use radios, you don't stop talking to the operator. when I operated in the blind, when they stopped communicating with me, I stopped. the signaler needs to think about what the operator is experiencing.
I agree, but they should leave times 'off' so you can answer. Had a guy who wouldn't let his finger off the radio and couldn't answer back lol. Very frustrating
