There's a major skyscraper being built near me in midtown Manhattan, and I couldn't figure out how they were "jumping" the crane up to keep pace with the tower. I always seemed to miss the procedure, even though I can see the crane clearly from my living room window. Thanks for showing me how it's done!
Fuck off with your anti union rat contractor "were so brainwashed by the boss we think its in our own best interest to not take lunch to help the company" bullshit. We EARN the right to take lunch. People fought and died for you to earn the right to take lunch. Fucking take advantage of it before the company starts expecting and then demanding you dont take lunch.
This just shows why the monorail beam sucks. I prefer the scaffolding ramp (tray) instead. With the ramp, you can use the next mast section as a counterweight. Neither do you need the mnorail adapter to lift a mast section.
Uses a hydraulic cylinder on the back, and pushes the entire upper portion of the crane up, pins off to the climbing cage, un pin the tower section, cylinder Jack's up the crane high enough for the next tower section to slide in, lower the crane back down, pin off tower section to the previous section, jack up again til desired height. Hard to really see it but if you look close you can see the cylinder in the back working
@cranedude07 they told me at the shop few weeks ago in florida I could post as long as morrow logo wasn't visible. Guessing someone has to tried to sue based off internet video.
