To The Top Crane
In this video, I use our Tadano 180g-5 to remove an out of service water tower. The tower was 120 feet tall and had a diameter of approximately 8 feet. The tower sections weighed approximately 20,000 pounds each.
The crane was configured with 79,000 pounds of counterweight, 158 feet of main boom length, full span outriggers and both winches.
I had to use the main and auxiliary winches together in order to lay the pieces on a truck for disposal.

I've been running an NBT 45 boom truck for a year now. Still an amateur, but I've learned a lot. If I have to wait more than a few minutes, I use my function lock out switch so I know I won't bump anything while cleaning the cab or something. Sure, I can't react quite as fast, but it's insurance the way I see it.

Nicely done Jimmy! Very smooth on the first pick. I understand your concerns with demolition work. I have removed quite a few trees over the year (with out a crane), and dynamic loads can break things in a hurry. Ron

Hey man, I'm glad to see you back posting again! My buddies and I have a podcast that focuses on getting people into the trades. If you have any interest, we'd love to have you on to talk about what you do. The podcast is called Sweat & Grime if you want to check it out. Feel free to reach out and I'll get you on our schedule. Keep up the good work brother!

This is maybe a stupid question, but can't you wedge the thing with some small wood wedges and take like 10% to 20% less weight of the structure? You could tape the wedges to the structure, so that they don't fall once you do lift it. I'm not a expert in either craning or higher construction. I usually just did stuff up to 10m/30ft and with weights, which you could handle without cranes if it was needed. And Wedges and ratchet straps and everything like it were our best friends.

Thanks for posting. I wish i could have stuck around to watch. I wondered how slimmy it would get with that sun out.

@ToTheTopCrane 2 года назад

Many thanks for watching! It got pretty slimy, pretty fast. I'm glad it froze overnight. Otherwise, it would've been a disaster trying to get the crane out of there.

@wb8ujb 2 года назад

Love your video's. It amazes me how much the crane lifts. But you can also see the expertise you demonstrate in operating the machine. Thank you for sharing, I know it's a lot of work putting these things up on the tube. I appreciate it very much sir.

@stevespence7608 2 года назад

Nice job. As you said, demo work can be very hazardous due to the unknown weights and center of gravity of items to be removed. You may have pointed out the fact objects being lifted in a horizontal position with two lines are very resistant to being rotated out of line with the boom, as when you were lowering onto the trailer. There is some advantage having long boom deployed with long hoist lines. I'm looking forward to sharing the seat with you again...brings back memories.

When the water towers are in use is there only water in the top part of it? Did this get hauled in for scrap or were they going to do something else with it? Nice to see a video again. Missed the livestream the other night. I might watch that one tonight.

@sparky178 2 года назад

Hey Jimmy, glad to see a vid! Question: How are you able to see what’s going on up there? Good vision? Good Prescription Glasses or binoculars?

@Metagross555 2 года назад

It's only 130ish feet to the boom tip, the camera makes it seem much worse than it is.

@jojosilva4896 2 года назад

hello jimmy, its me again one of your follower, from libya desert, im just to ask im using liebherr ltm 70t crane and i felt when i do the swing like under pressure i can hear the pump noise, like somthing blocks in the hydraulics, and swing to slow. thanks .

@VideosByAl 2 года назад

Are they going to repurpose the tube, or cut it up ?

@aidancadogan6411 2 года назад

It's not good practice using the 2 hoist together when lowering the tube cause the angle and pressure on the single fall Is big.

@constructionwatcher5381 2 года назад

Good to see you again, and an interesting job. There was quite a hole in the bottom of the tank when you had it down. What was that from?

@ToTheTopCrane 2 года назад

Thank you! The hole was from where the pipe came into the bottom of the tower. It had to be cut out in order for the tower to be lifted from the foundation. Many thanks for watching! 🏗

@cammac1393 2 года назад

Hey there I have a question.. when you have to setup on very un level ground and the outriggers don't have enough stroke even when you've put all the cribbing you can under them when they are fully retracted how do you get it higher? I've seen pictures of it done but I don't know the technique. Thanks
