Man there ain’t no way I could ever do this job. Definitely too afraid of heights! This is crazy! Commend the men and women who do this everyday! Wow what a job!
Radio tower erectors have been using jin poles for about as long as there have been tall towers. Some high rises are erected with "jump up" cranes that work they way up as the building is constructed. About time someone figure this kind of thing out for the wind farms. Heck of a lot lighter. Don't know how hard it is to get started and tear down but maybe about as hard as any other ground crane? Just a good idea.
"Traditional" construction guy here; That self climber is awesome! The use of the tower they were building to support and control the climb was genius- hope they can figure that out to climb the corner of a rising building! As to moving it, once down, it shouldn't be hard to use the jib to help it lay itself down and then bolt on some wheels and rig it to road tow, I would think. Just freakin' awesome! FR
Very interesting, however it would have been nice to describe what’s going on, and leave off the obnoxious sound effects or music, whatever you call it. Would like to have seen closer details of how it climbs, descends, and where the operator was located. Could have easily spent about 10 more minutes on the video for clarity’s sake. You still get a thumbs up though.
This is pretty new tech- I'm thinking there may have been some "constraints" on what could and could not be depicted- there usually is where patents and intellectual property are concerned. Also, this was a "puff piece", not designed to show us how to build our own. FR
@@musictolive4 My bad, I retired from my high rise construction work in 2011 and I've never seen a "climber" like that. I am much more familiar with the "climbers" that build their own towers. FR
This crane is assembled and disassembled with a 300 ton telescopic crane. The big advantage of this concept is, that you don't need to get a big crawlercrane and all the space and heavy cranes and transport that is needed to erect one.
Right It's ALL Too Big means only A Few get all of the money$$$ Micro grids generated at each meter off grid right now 15 years I don't sell back corporate government
Oil rigs, largely constructed the same way (both use ABS plate steel, BTW), last 40 and more years offshore. Both are also coated (not pained) to seal the metal from as much of that corrosion as possible. FR
@@FixItStupid Love your concept- only one question; if 7.8 billion of us go off grid this year, would that save the environment, will even half of them survive, will the result be actually be more sustainable than what we are doing at present? I can agree your solution may be correct for you- I jut have my doubts it could be extended to all of us. At least not at the 7.8 billion we currently are. FR
@@philoso377 the Lageway Corporation, an early wind turbine generator developer did this seen above. According to their site, it has passes all it's technical certifications electrically, hydraulically and mechanically to be fully certified and insured just like the more traditional climbing cranes we have had for half a century now. I was wrong about transport- it breaks down onto eleven trucks for transport and can be assembled in a day. FR
Having worked a site with some Liebherr engineers, they won't get POed at all; they will not even get even, they will build one bigger and better! Being an American, I am a Manitowoc fan, but,TBH, there "aint no flies" on Leibherr's equipment. This looks to take it to the next two levels; I'm curious if it is stable enough to use for floating wind turbines in water- the ship mounted cranes are hideously expensive, on water wind turbine deployment costing four to eight times what dry land installation does. FR
Well, Liebherr has nothing to worrey about. This crane is designed by a wind turbine designer. So they have made the crane for their own wind turbines and it doesn't work of fit on other brands of wind turbines.
That bothered me too, till I realized the operators are on the ground, using remote controls. The cranes arms (which can be adjusted for length and position) extend past the diametric center of the column , where the crane is hanging. A back strap or cable would have to be terribly heavy and present a bunch of difficulties- so the operators were removed from the seat aboard the crane! FR
@@dougmc666 Thank you, Doug- I couldn't make that out on my "small screen"! That may also explains why so many of the tower plates were bolted or riveted together- to give those purchase points for the crane! FR
Like all cranes and craning operations, I would think there is a definite wind speed safety issue- mostly with controlling the parts swinging in the wind for both. FR

Amazing video with drone footage and nice editing. Renewable energy was already cheaper to produce than using fossil fuels. Hopefully, with money saving innovations like these, we should be able to make a quicker transition to clean energy.
I'm willing to bet this crane is rented or leased to the wind farm developers, just like the climbing cranes so common in the conventional construction industry. The crane operators, riggers and machinery helpers will come as part of that lease contract. But, yeah, buddy, what an improvement and I'll be at least as fast if not faster than a conventional crane, to boot!FR
that's cool and all very reliable and a genius idea but considering Liebherr Crane company is who builds it they're going to hurt the production level of their standard heavy lift crawler cranes considering this is taking its place I don't really understand that??
Many reasons I'd think not the least of which is the cost of logistics, it takes a fleet of oversize trucks to move a mobile crane / ballast weight large enough to erect wind towers, then depending on the model, up to several days to erect. This rig only needs about 3 tractor trailers and one day to set up & be lifting. Also this climber has no height limitations, so one small unit is capable of assembling any tower, confined site access and surrounding soils compaction much less of an issue, so, this model may allow tower construction opportunities in otherwise inaccessible locations. And the list goes on. Cheers

To bad you don’t see how they build and install the crane to base off the tower and how they dissamble after the job is done!

That is just plain cool.
Jin poles have been around for centuries. This is a much cheaper method than bringing in a large crane.
If only they had you to figure this out?...Surly none of them had ever seen a Jin pole...and had no concept of costs and abilities...
