Nice video mate!! You give some good views of a clear and fast job with some funny facts xD. Your videos keep me in perseverance to be crane operator! Cheers from spain
Thank you, cheers!
Glad I found this channel. Awesome job.. I run a old stick and lever Terex T340 hoping 1 day to operate my dream crane LTM 1060 3.1 70 ton.
Awesome video's! Not alot of quality detailed crane content like this on youtube, please keep it up 🎉
please post more vids ! i’m thinking of going to school to become a crane operator and i really enjoy these vids !
Delighted to have come across your videos and channel. keep the great content coming.
the jib has an additional attachment that can make it even longer !
Several! Boom extensions and jib inserts 👍🏽
@@Reynoldscraneservice i didn't know there are additional main boom extensions for 1250... lol.
Is it like the 1500 where you have a shorter 50m boom and optional additional main boom section that allows for 84m boom?
@@mingming9604 I don’t think there are different main boom configurations, but there is 46’ of lattice boom extension that goes between the main boom head and the base of the jib. And then there is another 46’ of jib inserts that can go in the jib 👍🏽
Nice!
There is not a lot of these videos with cranes out there. I subbed!
Soerren66.. cranesite👍👍
In the UK we're quite lucky and can carry 60,000kg (132,277lbs) of ballast, the tackle box, big hook block and 4 mats on one trailer, altogether weighs about 90,000kg (198,416lbs) inclcuding tractor and trailer
Very nice video sir! Keep them coming!
Thank you!
these videos are awesome
Hey great videos man! Got any sage advice for a new operator? I just started a couple months ago I’m on a Sany 40 ton P.O.S. Lol your machine makes mine look like a skytrack
Just keep at it, man! They all operate similarly some are just more complex to assemble.
Nice to see all detail in setup, looked like it took a lot longer than the lift.
those yellow counterweights don't look that big, but each one makes the truck drop when put on the trailer.
How long does it take to go from parking the crane to fully setup with counterweights?
All the counterweights are 10 metric tons other than the first one, which is 11 tons. Assembly time really depends on the configuration and the size and accessibility of the build site. For this job it was in a super congested area and we had a hard time getting the trucks backed in. This probably took every bit of 3+ hours to assemble.
Awesome video
Thank you sir!
Just discovered your page. Sweet videos. Got any point of videos from in the cab of what you see ? That would be cool.
Got one I recorded last week I’ve just got to put together. Thanks for subscribing!
Hey man love it could you talk about yourself? How’d you get into and all that
👌🙌
What did you use to record? Looks pretty good.
For this video I just used my GoPro 8, and our marketing guy had his drone which I robbed the drone footage from.
How much is your salary per hour and thanks for the great videos
How much would you charge for a lift like this?
I don’t really get to see that side of the business but I would imagine with the manpower, fuel, and equipment on site somewhere in the 8-15k range. This job was also around 90 miles from our shop.
@@Reynoldscraneservice thanks for the response!
Boom dollies are so dumb, cranes should get an exception as long as they are in their lightest configuration
I agree man they are a PITA, but we gotta play by the rules 👎🏽
Can you help me better understand boom dollies, why the crane should get an exception, slightest configuration? Looking to get into crane operator and just asking questions to better understand
@@tricallyourmama Sure! The only reason to use a book dolly is to distribute the weight of the crane over more axles.
In my case, without being in the dolly I carry around 150,000lbs on 5 axles. Roughly 30,000lbs per axle. When I’m using the dolly, I carry 160,000lbs on 8 axles, so roughly 20,000lbs per axle. Different states in the us allow us different allowable axle loads, also certain bridges or routes may require that we use the dolly for a lighter axle weight 👍🏽
@@Reynoldscraneservice hell yeah!! Thanks for the info 💪💪
How come in your video at the mud pit lifting the silos, you drove there with the boom over the front and here youre driving in the dolly?
I’ll ask for the kids in the room… was it full? Lol
So… you want to be a crane operator…?
