Love those up clise shots. Especially on the outrigger beams. Really shows that alot of engineering went into those outriggers. Not just some rectangular tubing cut to length.
Jimmy's Tractor, they are definitely engineered and fabricated. The outrigger beams are probably stronger than the boom sections. Thanks for watching! 🙂👍
Great video! That crane is a really interesting piece of equipment. I had no idea that you could level the crane just by adjusting the suspension. I thought the leveling was done by the outriggers. That is a very high tech piece of equipment. Looking forward to more videos on how to operate this machine. Good work Jimmy!
Hey Jimmy... I liked this video a lot because of all the operation details and reasons why you do different things. And oh yeah, I got a kick out of seeing you the other day on Andrew's channel. Channels I visit are like a big family. I'd like to meet all these channel operators, but everyone's too busy and too far away. I'm up north in NH (Live Free Or Die).
Jack Sak, I'll try to get more footage of how we set things up and why we do things a certain way. My wife and I are contemplating a trip to the east coast. If we make that happen, I'll let you know. Thanks for watching! 🙂👍
John Warren, tires off the ground is important. That's the only way to know for sure that the crane and load is completely supported by the outriggers. Thanks for watching! 🙂👍
The interesting thing about the counterweight system on my truck is that the counterweight completely comes off, and the bottom of it actually opens up. This then allows you to put whatever heavy thing you want in there, and if for any reason you need to lose some of it you can flip it over and dump it out. I’m thinking about possibly taking it to the beach with me and putting some sand in it, but the only problem is going to be transport. I don’t know how I could keep it from flipping over once I put the sand in it. Of course I could you something bigger like marbles, but that might cost a lot.
Nice video. I’m really curious about your dolly. We don’t have anything like that in Chicago yet BUT I also might’ve missed seeing one. All of ours are either a 2 axle or 3 axle. I’ll need to check my weight law book because you guys must be different from us. I know your carrying counterweight on yours but I’m not talking about that. You seem to move the rig with the boom over the front. We can’t do that here. One of the bigger truck cranes needs some boom extended even with a tri-axle dolly to be legal on the permit. That’s no joke about dropping the rig either. I did it ONCE and only once. I’m still missing part of my butt cheek from the chewing that I got.
Richard Savaglio, I only move the crane with the boom over the front inside of our local commercial zone. Anytime we are on the highway, the boom is on the dolly. I'll see about making a video of the dolly for you. Thanks for watching! 🙂👍
Great video! A big thumbs up I have a question Will the Crane be out of level when making a pick and swinging? If yes how do you get it back to level when lifting?
Peter Haan, having the tires off the ground is the only way of knowing that the full weight of the crane and load is 100% supported by the outriggers. I can monitor the outrigger load from inside the cab. Thanks for watching! 🙂👍
Hey jimmy do you own the business or do you work for them? I really like your videos the way you explain in detail is great keep up the good work brother!
Skidder Kev, it kinda is like a little game getting it in the circle. Occasionally, I'll retract the suspension and the dot will be right in the center, with equal weight on all corners. Those days I think I should buy lottery tickets. Thanks for watching! 🙂👍
So the 2 pins on outriggers keep the Russian hackers from changing your settings during a lift? Have a great weekend and don't work to hard on a Saturday!
Tiger Rule, I don't own it. I work for the company who owns it. The company I work for is a family owned construction and crane rental company. The owner is in the shop with us every morning. He talks about our families, asks how we are doing, etc.. Truly one of the best places I have had the opportunity to work. Thanks for watching! 🙂👍Oh, yes it was close to a million, used.

That is an awesome crane...a lot of engineering went into it...thanks for showing the set up very interesting.
Richard Lambeck, it is an awesome machine. Thanks for watching! 🙂👍
thats really cool actually quite cool to see how the crane is set up
James Bergeron, sometimes there is much more involved. Thanks for watching! 🙂👍

Brandon, I'll make more videos like this one. Everyone seems to like the details. Thanks for watching! 🙂👍

Jimmy, thanks for the reply, and I hope you make it over this way some time.
Cool man thanks for sharing! That suspension is neat, I always thought you just got the tires off the ground with the out riggers. Great job!
Elite Earthworks LLC, I'll try to get some more footage of the suspension. Thanks for watching! 🙂👍
To The Top Crane that would be awesome! Thank you!
Nice video! Amazon sells cheap chest GoPro mounts, they’re nice for if you want to film and still use both hands.
Thanks for the awsome videos can you do a video of all the controls in the cab of the crane
Great adjustment feature regarding the suspension.
Thanks for the video, educational!

arkansas13, thank you! Since this one was such a hit, I'll do more like it. Thanks for watching! 🙂👍
Thank you very much God keeps you
Thank you, and thanks for watching! 🙂👍
Wow that's awesome piece of equipment thanks for sharing... 👍
Robert Bradford, it is quite the machine. The engineering involved is kind of mind boggling. Thanks for watching! 🙂👍
Best video so far.
Good bit of set up time involved. Ever had a job that was shorter than the set up time? Thanks and thanks for the video.
Duncan MacKenzie, there have been quite a few jobs where the set up takes longer than the job. Thanks for watching! 🙂👍
Well that's got to be a bit of a bitch, but I suppose as long as there's a fair amount of money then it's _all_ good. Thanks for the reply.
Very interesting I didn't think it mattered on the tires off the ground
John Warren, tires off the ground is important. That's the only way to know for sure that the crane and load is completely supported by the outriggers. Thanks for watching! 🙂👍
thank you for another informative video,
Dong, thanks for watching! 🙂👍
Great setup
Gagandeep Singh, thank you. That was just a quick set up in our yard. Most jobs are much more involved than that. Thanks for watching! 🙂👍
To The Top Crane Hmm sounds good!!

Alex Williamson'sadventures, could you pick up a bag of play sand or something similar at a hardware store? Thanks for tuning in! 🙂👍
I probably could try play sand. It has a better consistency anyway so that might be worth a try. Thanks for the suggestion.
Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
Ken Gamble, thanks for watching! 🙂👍

To The Top Crane yeah, it would be great to have a series with each sub system of this monster.
Jimmy's Tractor, I'll try to get in done!
Great helping boss thank you
Wow cool man thanks for sharing.......
Muhammad Asif Younis, thanks for watching! 🙂👍
Great video!
A big thumbs up
I have a question
Will the Crane be out of level when making a pick and swinging? If yes how do you get it back to level when lifting?
And the reason for having the wheels off the ground would be?
Can you monitor/adjust the load on the outriggers from the crane cab?
Peter Haan, having the tires off the ground is the only way of knowing that the full weight of the crane and load is 100% supported by the outriggers. I can monitor the outrigger load from inside the cab. Thanks for watching! 🙂👍
Great vidja jimmy!! Question for you?? Is the suspension hydraulic or air on the crane carriage?
Chad Isett, thank you! The suspension is hydraulic with accumulators in it. The only air system is brakes and emissions. Thanks for watching! 🙂👍
May be a dumb question but, the crane is a class b cdl vehicle right? Does attaching the dolly then make it a class a?
JasonWorksAlot, I think it's class A all the time because it is over 80,000 lbs. Class B is single unit, up to 80,000 lbs. Thanks for watching! 🙂👍
Hey jimmy do you own the business or do you work for them? I really like your videos the way you explain in detail is great keep up the good work brother!
Steve A, I do not own the company. Thanks for the kind words and for watching! 🙂👍
Plz sir make a video again outriggers setting
does it say in the manual that you can carry the base cwt on the deck of the crane during road travel?
good job
your help that's on its way , do you call them crane chases or dog men in America ? thanks
It's like alittle game trying to get the dot in he circle haha what's your speed record for getting it in the circle?
Skidder Kev, it kinda is like a little game getting it in the circle. Occasionally, I'll retract the suspension and the dot will be right in the center, with equal weight on all corners. Those days I think I should buy lottery tickets. Thanks for watching! 🙂👍
So the 2 pins on outriggers keep the Russian hackers from changing your settings during a lift?
Have a great weekend and don't work to hard on a Saturday!
Wayne Tharp, I'm actually not working tomorrow. This footage is a few weeks old. Thanks for watching! 🙂👍
Sounds even better! Enjoy a whole weekend then! 😆
nice wish i could own this crane did it cost millions for you to get one ?
Tiger Rule, I don't own it. I work for the company who owns it. The company I work for is a family owned construction and crane rental company. The owner is in the shop with us every morning. He talks about our families, asks how we are doing, etc.. Truly one of the best places I have had the opportunity to work. Thanks for watching! 🙂👍Oh, yes it was close to a million, used.
Wowza.
Would this be similar to a 130G-5?
Get a chest mount for the GoPro... the. You’ll have use of both hands...
Cut and Clean TV, that's a good idea. I'll check into one. Thanks for the idea, and thanks for watching! 🙂👍
👍
Nice.....
