Taking a crane to it's limits - crane jib installation 

Holy cow that son of a buck is huge

Oh course, you know I love heavy equipment and specialty jobs. From what I've seen you do awesome work. I've had to help winch out a few 200T Demags here locally that got into some soft, tight spots while trying to set towers like this. Not an easy task to say the least. Be safe and God bless.

As an apprentice operator, I've been looking for crane related videos like this forever and you sir have done it I'll be in that seat in a few years. Thanks for the awesome videos!

Its nice seeing someone puting up some videos of operating i was thanking about doing the same thing. Been running a Link-Belt 50 tun for about a year now. Love the crane life.

Have been seeing some of your comments on channels that I keep up with and was curious about what you do, then Wade recommended you, so here I be, and I be subscribed now ! 😊 Can only come up with one word for this........... WOOOW !!!! 😲😲✔ I've spent a lot of hours sitting in my vehicle with binoculars watching this type of work, but hey, now I can sit in my recliner and get a better show , win, win ! 😊 Good stuff ! Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍 👍

ive seen you commenting a lots on letsdig, liked your humour and banter with the other lads so i figured hell why not pop on over to your channel and check you out . well , now im subscribed haha and in due course i will be checking out your numerous videos, keep up he great work

Just found you and subscribed. Looks like I won't be getting much sleep until I catch up watching all your vids. I've done a few jobs where a crane was required and I have always marveled at what they can do. Good stuff

Fantastic video! You can really appreciate the height from that camera angle. Great job as always! I can only imagine a 44 mph gust would feel like a 400 mph gust with that much boom out, talk about pucker time lol! Keep up the good work and awesome vids!

I operate a 275 ton link belt. I've done a few 300' + towers can be stressful. Nice video.

wow nerves of steel. love the vid thanks for taking the time to do it for us.

Just found your channel great stuff, I grew up in Oregon MO your in my old stomping grounds

Good thing you are not near an airport could be a little catch and release going on. Amazing the engineering to take all those tubes and stretch them out and lift without imploding. Great content as usual thanks for your time Jimmy have a great week

I can’t even fathom the pressure than cylinder is under, let alone the pressures you are under ! Very impressive work

I know you worked and studied hard to earn your seat in that crane. It's got to be quite an honor to roll up on a job site in that rig. I often get the "Rock Star" treatment, and I'm only running a 22101!

I am really impressed with your videos. I thank you for sharing

came over from logger wade. love your vijas

Wow!!!!!! Couldn't believe that one! That made up for the crane job they wouldn't let you film. Was it the distance outer was the top actually bending on the top piece? Thanks again for that it was awesome!!

That is very impressive!!

Logger wade brought me here ! Keep up the cool videos my new friend

What I find is crazy is those outriggers don't stick out very far yet they can stabilize that whole crain that is so amazing

Great job with your video productions.I find them very entertaining and educational. I’m very curious about how you actually move the boom when it is maxed out, like on this job.My main question is, if the boom angle is at 75 degrees and the signal man wants you to boom down a few degrees, how do you avoid boom whip? Are your hydraulic controls so fine tuned , that you can boom down without imposing dynamic force on the crane?One other question is, would the safety systems on your Taranto 180g-5 prevent you from going into a danger zone on your charts?

Bravo 👏 great lift sir

"WOW"!!! Nice vintage point

I dunno why, but just seeing that extended jib sitting there gives me the willies.

Awesome video

what camera are you using? thats a really clear view

Awesome!

Great video, enjoyed it all. Must say you have a class pocket knife, I carry a Benchmade Griptilion.

The stresses on that piston must be just incredible! Just the one for boom up and down looks kinda wimpy from a long way off. I'd have ulcers running a crane like that. I got nervous just seeing the raised boom for the distant shot. Just enough to reach, not a lot to spare was there. Scary stuff if you ask me. Thanks for the video.

Gives New Meaning to Pushing the Envelope..." Job Well Done "

Look at that boom bend, nice

How does your chart look? Can you do a video explaining the jib an what it does to your chart? I’m a year n change in on a couple 100 ton Liebherrs and still have yet to pin the jib. The one operator about me always says don’t worry about it the jib destroys your chart and takes forever I still need to do it at some point. Not sure if they think I’ll be there forever

just curious if there is pressure monitoring of the extendible legs.. to let the operator know when its shifting weight too far..

You’ve probably been ask this before but here goes, why Tadano over Liebherr?

Wow I cant believe how much that boom deflects when extended. Why do you raise the tires from the ground when you level the crane?

Ron trying to steal your fishing hole 😂😂😂

Logger wade sent me but definitely subscribing now

A lot of prep on that crane stuff.

Hey nice post. Just found you channel... where you based out of. I’m in SoCal. Local 12. What size tadano?

That is one monstrous crane you operate there. I am totally blind and the closest thing I can get to operating one of these is a 1/16 scale toy. However for a toy it’s still pretty large. It has a 3 foot boom, and a jib piece that can make it go up to over 5 feet. I don’t have any videos of it right now however this summer I’m going to be taking the counter wait for my crane to the beach with me and filling it full of sand because right now it is empty. Then when I get back I’m going to be testing it out to see how much I can lift with the counterweight. I’ve been doing the RU-vid thing for about four years now and I’ll be happy to help you with anything you might need to know.

Nice vid I subbed

How did we go from highway 111, to setting riggers? Not good!

Boys that’s a pile of stress I bet double checking and making shore everything is set just right

Takes longer to set up than use huh?

Crazy! 😳

Do you need binoculars to see that far up? Do you communicate with a radio with the riggers up top? Awesome video.

Come over from logger wade so far I like

Good view of the chem trails

That's nice and high 😯.

Great Video and camera work! Do you have an instrument to measure wind speed on the crane itself? What is acceptable top wind speed for this long of a boom? Thanks

Looks like threading a needle attached to the tip of a 12' crappie pole....

Good evening to you

That's what I like to call a noodle boom

Tadano-faun

Looks like the land is so flat that cellphone towers wouldn't be necessary.

It called "Pucker Factor" !

What's the hourly rate for a crane that large? Has to be a lot lol

I have not seen your vids as recommend yet just seen your comments on other channels

Dragline driver for over 40 years. Hang in there newbie 's.😉

At 22:49 take my drone do a 360 that would be one hell of a video/picture

I miss working with truck cranes. Now the cranes I operate build aircraft carriers. I'd love to get outta here and start my own business.

HEY, lets use a $200 knife to wipe mud and dirt off of metal! LOL! Pretty cool to se you setting up the rig.

Small hydros and conventional 60ton

I hung with you for 5 minutes before I gave up on this vid. :(

Jimmie I Love everything you do and say. But please go down with your guy's. Double check at least

yeah them cell towera r nothing more than the man can contro us

damn you barely made that good calculations on your lift plan

Try to find a way to mount your camera on your shoulder. You move your head too much for good video.

Pucker time

First song was so annoying, no disco music please

How many years operating?
