@@WoodCutr1 I'm trying to get more money somewhere in the 30 an hour I'm almost there. But I want to go to a trade school. And earn a good amount of money.
Hats off to you brother, i’m a tower operator myself from Maxim Crane a Local 302 out of Seattle. I’m a hammerhead guy, never been up that high but hope to someday! Keep it safe
A joy to watch your video.. Great attitude and easy to listen to.. Would make an excellent teacher.. Lord knows we need guys like you to pass the trade on.. Thanks for the good work your doing, makes us all shine like a new pennies!!
I was a roofer moat of my life, 3to 4 stories is the highest i went, this is a whole new ballgame, i get nervous just looking through a camera, it takes nerves of steel 😃 to do this work, hard hats of to them.
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
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.
You should have mentioned your other Brothers and Sisters that turned the hook over to you when we are finished with the Structural Concrete. LIUNA Laborers Local 242 Seattle Washington retired hand. We are all family. I give a shout out to all the trades and all the hands I ever worked with all over America. Build America Strong.
@@jonathanaldana4941 I have trouble 90 percent of the time when I deliver machinery. Its always a pissing match on the union thinking they're going to run a machine on and off my trailer
The only construction job I have no interest in ...... I hang iron walk beams and hang off buildings welding but tower crane operators are crazy ones holy fuck 1000 plus feet hanging and if anything goes wrong you go with it I’m good but good to ya dudes out there . Where is the other cab for your guys big ass balls though?
Hi, Any chance you can let us know how this crane operate swing with the feet what are the hand stick's for left and right? Hoist and jib up/down? Thanks we don't see this cranes a lot ;)
Two pedals on the floor for feet left right swing, left lever is boom up or down, Right lever is hoist up or down, left switch is brake, right side also has throttle for the engine, it really takes four hands to run, linkbelt tg1900
I've run this same crane once in a while filling in for Brothers, it will definitely separate the men from the boys, equipment number 2507 Linkbelt tg 1900
@@In_Rem Twenty five year member of the I.U.O.E., four different locals. So try again. The Operating Engineers is a labor company, not a labor union. Wake up and smell the coffee.
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.
not exactly, crane operators are in high demand. i'm becoming tower crane operator and there's schools and unions around here in florida that'll teach you for free. i love tower cranes and know this is the career for me.
@@magnarvasiliev5292 good luck to you, I sincerely hope it works out for you. Trust me though, it's 10x harder than it looks. Some people just dont have the touch. Sounds corny, but I'm serious.
