Love this one! You're hauling history! Old friction rigs are the best. Theres a couple contractors in Wisconsin and Iowa that still have dozens of the old yellow Americans.
Belated congrats on y'alls welding anniversary, staying together takes a lot more than a hope and a prayer but both of those are needed. Tying that in with a custom boat build is epic..
Right in my neck-o-the woods! Try’n stay dry and safe! Hope you’ll get to shoot the offload. Congrats on 25yrs! Marriage is the ultimate covenant, partnership and humbling experience! Cheers Doc
Was thinking the same thing about the lightning rods in the air when you said that. The life of pulling an open trailer (flatbed type), dealing with the weather. Always interesting watching your videos, you have a lot of information that comes from your experiences in construction.
Sure have missed your videos . Congrats on your Anniversary . It's rare now aday's . At least you are hauling something kinda Yello . It's cool to see those Cranes and rigger's at work . Stay safe on your way South Brother .
Great cranes but this is exactly why you don’t see so many old American and especially the 3900 used to load. They are a chore to mobilize. Thanks for the video✌️
Hung a lot of red iron and everything else under those 4100s in my young days. I agree with you about friction rigs. Get one set up on a ringer and it would lift Pluto.
Love those old conventional mechanical crawlers. My favorite is link belt ls118 it's relatively small compared to those largers manitowoc 4100 or American 9310.
The 4100 and 9310 were top of the line back in the day.I remember seeing a American 9310 at a hospital job in NJ in the early 1980’s.That machine had to have at least 300 feet of main boom installed.I had the chance to walk right up to the machine on a non-workday and take a close look at it.Has to be one of the most impressive cranes I’ve ever seen.That machine had a really rugged look to it, like it was over-designed for its 225 ton rated capacity.In closing let me just say that the Manitowoc 4100W was the king of the 200+ ton crawler cranes from the early 1970’s until the early 1990’s in terms of how many were sold and popularity with contractors.
Something that I've done is use straps to center up a load. Set it up so the strap is as long as you can so like from left side to the far right. Works best when the load is just off the deck.
Messed around with an old crane like the one your loading but on a 4 axel truck mount. Going from a small all hydraulic Pettibone to one of those is a big difference.
Do you have any driving job available? I have been running funtain RGN for 5 years. I want grow up. I can run and operate almost any type equipment. Let if you looking for a good hand.
Is it possible for the operator of a friction crane to accidently release the friction brake? If so, is this be one of the reasons people say never work under a suspended load?
Maybe while god is watering the garden, some one could just put a chain and binder on the car body and pull it over an inch rather than a man trying to move it back and forth. JMHO.
It’s called pick and carry. Not just crawlers have a pick and carry chart but RT or Rough Terrain cranes also have a pick and carry chat and can move with a load suspended in the air
@@KeepingitAnalog Watch out for saltwater spray lol. Are you able to haul a payload of 145,000 legally ?? Also have you seen the heavy haul trucker from Canada ,I think he came from Russia ?? Happy Anniversary best wishes

'Great video. Thanks. Really like the way that you keep your rig looking great 👍.
You can always tell an American working man. His pants are about to fall off! Nothing better than real life hard wor.
Love your videos brother I'm just watching literally every video I didn't watch yet lol
Belated congrats on y'alls welding anniversary, staying together takes a lot more than a hope and a prayer but both of those are needed. Tying that in with a custom boat build is epic..
Reminds me of years ago as a young construction laborer, working around Northwest draglines
When I was a boy, my dad would take me to work with him on Saturdays, he would operate bucyrus Erie 88b and manitowoc 4600 drag lines.
Right in my neck-o-the woods! Try’n stay dry and safe! Hope you’ll get to shoot the offload.

good crane operator(s) make all the difference. Some want to get shit done and others milk it out.
Folly Beach is my old home town. Looking good as always sir!
Do you think you could come back through Central NM we sure could use some rain!
No tag lines?

The German cranes are easy to take apart for sure.
I was wrecked after running an LR1200 and a 1250. They truly are on a league of their own, there is no comparison.

You’re down the street from my house, too bad I’m on the road, or I’d come say high
Very cool video sir. Thank you for explaining how those cranes work. First class. 😎👍🏻
Great stuff. Thanks for sharing
Best reality tv I've seen in a while...
Three classic workhorse rigs right there.🤘🏻
One of two videos left 😟. Hope you’re bringing them back buddy!

Well ,, Thanks for videoing & sharing !!! Looks like a big job is coming to SC ..??? Have a great weekend & ""KEEP IT SAFE ""!!

Wow, a family friend use to work for American crain & hoist...
It’s a pain for me to get a permit to move our cat330 here in Arkansas , I can only imagine the headaches you have with the other states

Hey dude, you loaded in my backyard. What route did you take out of there? Did you load at the old papermill ?
Take care
Do you have any driving job available? I have been running funtain RGN for 5 years. I want grow up. I can run and operate almost any type equipment. Let if you looking for a good hand.
Are you required escorts on all states when you get over so many axles or is it just weight based?
Is it possible for the operator of a friction crane to accidently release the friction brake? If so, is this be one of the reasons people say never work under a suspended load?
Happy Anniversary, y’all!
cool set and nice truck rig
Apparently, they need a crane operator. And a man on the ground?
American crawler cranes started in 1882 it was originally Franklin company
Great video thanks safe travels
Tagline on the stinger etc. would help.
Yep, it is call a pick and carry, the machine will have chart just for a pick and carry lift
Great Vid Brotha !
I wonder what kind of motor the crane has that loaded you. It sounds goooood!
I think most manitowocs were Cummins. But could probably have been ordered with yellow, red or green
I seen you on 95 this week or last week!👍🏾🤟🏾
Happy Anniversary!
It’s to bad you don’t have one of those flip stingers. I saw a video of one. I think globe makes it.
Maybe while god is watering the garden, some one could just put a chain and binder on the car body and pull it over an inch rather than a man trying to move it back and forth. JMHO.
Thanks!
So them cranes can track forward with hanging weight?
Yes thats why they are crawlers. They can walk with the load.
@@mattvega6941 wow never new that
It’s called pick and carry. Not just crawlers have a pick and carry chart but RT or Rough Terrain cranes also have a pick and carry chat and can move with a load suspended in the air
Great video
You coming to my home i stay in Charleston Sc
all that stuffing around trying to center the load when they could have just used a block and tackell or a comealong .
Where my South Carolina people including me
Congrats to you amd your wife sir.
Nice!!!!!
Who pays for the permit
You're building a yacht and you're complaining about a little drizzle ?
No complaints from me bud.
@@KeepingitAnalog Watch out for saltwater spray lol. Are you able to haul a payload of 145,000 legally ?? Also have you seen the heavy haul trucker from Canada ,I think he came from Russia ?? Happy Anniversary best wishes
The most I can do is about 115k on the deck. Yes I have known Dratchev personally for another 10 years.
@@KeepingitAnalog In one of his videos I think he talked about some guy in a shiny red truck . Do you have 2 TH-cam channels ?
He was talking about me. I do have another channel for fishing. Out the a door with MT.
