My Dad was a proud 60 year member of Local 2375 in Wilmington ,CA. Dad passed away on Feb.15, 2019. Pile Butts are some of the hardest working people on the face of the earth imo
Sketchy crane my ass. That’s a bad ass rig for driving pile. I’ve run that rig. It’s a link belt truck crane (238) 125 ton. Perfect for driving batter pile along side the highway.
you all prolly dont give a shit but does anyone know a tool to log back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid forgot the login password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me.
@Adrian Martin thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im trying it out now. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
Ok. Is foundation sponsor at the moment. Like you guys I live in Brentwood. Or do you know of any companies around the bay area? Thanks for answer my questions.
one thing i learned as a pile driver dont get into it with crane operator he has your life in his hands, if he wanted to be naughty you would have to pay.
What if he's pulling levers with one hand, and holding his cell phone in the other? I've worked with one that was notorious for that, had a few close calls with a free falling headache ball... was tempted to throw my 28oz into the cab many times.
I had many friends Cindy was one of my favorite ones Irish Mike and spider girl Sun Berry Bill witache Dave laine from Boston Ricky and his brother Ed. These people I respected no matter how mean they were to me 'Tex Mon Row" The two welders named Ed who were the top of the line, you had to run to keep up with them and they didn't even break a sweat they were that cool!
Thom Donanally he was a friend too Dan who'[s truck had a sticker on the back that said " if you see me driving poorly call 1-800-eat shit. These were people in my life that I worked with, some respected me but all of them I respected.
Cut it off with proper blade at proper height. Don’t forget to yell timber! Jump on forklift (not your Home Depot kind) and take remaining pile to recycle stockpile.
ONCE IT ENTERS THE GROUND… ALL GUARANTEES ARE OFF… IF THE PILE IS TOO FAR OFF OR WONT SET REFUSAL… DRIVE ANOTHER BESIDE IT… HERE IN CANADA, A PATTER PILE HAS BEEN RECORDED COMING BACK OUT OF GROUND BEHIDE THE CRANE
Steady the fucking camera next time and show us the base of the pile at ground level so we can see each increment on the pile going in. ie; each blow! Yes, this is cool. We drive smaller piles with hydraulic hammers. 2-8 inch pipe and 6-8 inch WF
You didn’t touch shit It’s funny how people like you watch a video and think they know what’s going on like they were there or something. That rig ain’t sketchy, it’s stout as fuk. It’s actually a bad ass truck crane.. but what do I know you were there right?? Weirdo
I don't know what they're driving piles for but the piles are all crooked and whats with the showing off for, that's for teenagers. I wouldn't hire them.

Drive it deep up n hur... side way...Dat way...yo way too! Batter up# some pile n mother earth.
Seems like a lot of body parts under heavy steel, lots of work to align as well. Glad we run Berminghammer setup, hanging leads are rare up here.
this was cool, thanks for posting.
“Measure twice pile drive once”
Great Video.
Reminds me of growing up in Worcester mass where Wyman Gordon used to start there Hammer at 7:00am Sharp (Was my kid alarm clock).

10 Hours I remember my first part time job
I have some videos of pile diving ( locals 49 & 1836)! Interesting to see the different ways and rigging! Work safe 🤙
Nice work, fellow brother
Nice upload
I miss the sound of the load going down & that brake squeak . Nothing like those old friction cranes .
Y'all some hard fucking workers. Respect.
Wao unik juga tehnik mancang seperti ini ya kawan,
Even with the earplugs, it seems like that would be deafening.
The sound slappes you n in the forehead
It's really real

I'm surprised California doesn't mandate the pile driver have tier 4 Emissions on it .

I would think that metal beam might move off center if it hit a big obstacle under the ground how do you remedy that?
JACK of ALL TRADES it is what it is.. engineers figure that out

I can't believe union guys went 5 minutes straight without taking a break
Scabs a trolling.
@@Rickimusic just becsuse someone says something you find offensive doesn't make them a troll. It makes you a snowflake
@@tylerbonser7686 Another scab heard from.
@@Rickimusic maybe if you lazy ass union guys didn't spend so much time crying about having to work 4 hrs a day there wouldn't be a need for us scabs
@@tylerbonser7686 jealous because you're stupid to work for 1/2 the pay and twice the work? Who is the snowflake
Try a little explanation please.
R Riquelmy thanks for the feedback
use a pipe gate instead of that chain...

Do you even drive pile bro?
As a pile welder rn I've built 1000 of those lmao they break and i just slap a new one together
Wierd to see union guys actually working!!!!! 😂😂😂😂

That's a hell of a sketchy looking rig you've got there.

@@piledaddytv I like that reply
If you have a piece of steel that weights 27000 pounds How do you think you are going to pick it up??
What terrible camera work . . . Like a head cam. . . . can't make much out of the process because there's no perspective . . .

Geo T The pile is made from materials that came from the earth. They are going back home now.
so what's your point??
what's sad is Geo T's vote counts the same as the men/women driving piles. These are jobs that feed people- it is a great thing.
