The cockipit of the second looks like a sci-fi spaceship. Really cool to see some stuff like this on youtube.
Thanks! Awesome to read comments like this!!!
I once had the opportunity to try and lift a container (with supervision of course) with a “small” forklift crane. It was nerve racking but an amazing sensation. Since then I have a lot of respect for crane operators. A lot of admiration. Enjoy work!
I'm a crane operator, and when I saw you running that liebherr I was like damn. That's awesome. what a cool crane. I'd love to run that everyday. then I saw you had to rub one of those gantry cargo cranes and I changed my mind haha. I couldn't imagine just trolley in trolley out all day 😂
My kids wanted to know what is was like to operate these things and your video was perfect. So well edited it kept their attention the whole way through.
Thanks for this awesome comment! This keeps me motivated to keep the channel up! Where are you from? Greetings from Belgium!
You have 30,000 plus subscribers now, I’m afraid of highs, so I don’t watch to many on f theses , and that buzzing makes me sea sick, lolll nice , thanks BigAl California praise Jesus grace Christ amen 🙏.
Another excellent video! You are a good operator by the looks!!! You have the best office view indeed.Great work...
That was pretty cool , thanx for sharing :)
Yes Joris I have done the same thing! your machine breaks down! you jump into another one and carry on LOL
You have a good job bro, I wouldn't mind retiring to that Haha
Thank you so much for showing yourself operating one of these, move into tight spaces wonderful cranes. Not limited by the track that cantainer cranes have. Such a great machine crane that are built to load/ unload the let's say smaller ship. Does the wind effect your loads sometimes.
So much power at the tip of your fingertips! I long to become a tower crane operator one day.
You should go for your dreams! It is an awesome job working as a team! It is very challenging!
@@Container_World Where do you even start, with a construction rigging company or something?
All fun and games until it collapses
@@heeeeeeeyyyyyyyyy would never happen 😭😭 I work at the port of delta that shit will never ever happen cranes break down but that just means mechanical shit not legitimate breaking and collapsing our job is one of the best on the planet great pay and you can train to become anything you want down here just by working here you start as a casual then boom in 10 years your driving the gantry you see in this video but bigger. Great stuff
@@Vexzeyy that’s cool, and good on you. But I do enjoy my job haha. I operate Excavators and Loaders and other Heavy Machinery. Big money for quite honestly an easy job. I was thinking of getting my gantry crane. (My old one expired) It’s roughly $1400 AUD for a ticket. Matter of fact I was operating gantry cranes since I was 18 lol. Literally my first job was using a controller to drive a 10 tonne Gantry Crane 😂
Nation wide
Cool job! This looks fun
It was! 🤩🤘
Thanks for this video! Great of you to show this world that is completely strange to me and most people I suspect. Actually writing a story about this at the moment so was really helpful :)
Reading comments like this keeps me motivated to make more movies! Thanks 👍
Awesome video!!! Ty
Great video! Stay safe and tyfs.❤🙏
Thanks
this video is really helpful !! thank you alot !
+Tien Giap thanks for watching! I have made a new one! 5.000 subscribers 👍 enjoy!
well here i'm watching this kind of vids for making me more sure to work as a stradle carrier driver and hopefully after that a container crane operator but yeah still driving a truck to this day and watching the crane works in antwerp from below
Heb je al een ''boek'' aangevraagd bij de vakbond? Ga altijd je dromen achterna! Heb ik ook altijd gedaan..👍
@@Container_World ik heb vandaag naar cepa gebeld en daar zeiden ze tegen mij dat ik eerst havenarbeider moet worden en dan na ongeveer 2-3 jaar een verdere opleiding kan doen naar stradle carrier
Dat klopt! Zo gaat dat. En dan moet je na je straddler carrier opleiding ongeveer 5 a 10 jaar rekenen.
Your crane skills are awesome, love your videos.
+GMC Jimmy Thanks !!! I'll make a new video soon!!
Awesome video and skills when operating those beauties! Your channel will blow up 🔜!
Mooi mooi en het leven is herkenbaar 👍👍 blijft een geweldige job.
+Justlife Hehe! We zitten in hetzelfde schuitje e :P
Great stuff

Nice video And music
Damn your slick with booming
Nice driving bro!
+jpar2471 Thanks!
Thank you all the crane operators in the port for keeping America moving
Nice Video sir
You’re right about never working when you love your job. I have fun every night I go to work. I operate the gantry cranes like the second crane you got into here in the port of Los Angeles here in the US. I can’t imagine using the first one you were in. Seems like it’s so much more difficult. We hardly ever work small ships though. They are always 18 containers wide and 8 high on deck. What port do you work in? You did a great job in that crane! 👍
Hello pete, would you mind to share with us how to become a harbour crane operator in the US it would be very appreaciated. Thank you very much.
@@josefiol9520 I can't speak for the rest of the US but on the west coast you have to first become a longshoreman in the Union. Which is a lengthy process. It's taken some people well over 13 years. I got into the union 21 years ago after working as a casual worker who takes overflow shifts that union members don't want. It's a lame life. I only had to do that for 2 1/2 years. When I got into the union I had to wait almost 19 years to get trained to operate these cranes.
@@PumaPete
Is it not also about the Family members get first jobs. Before they let anyone in Longshoremen UNION. I have seen in some world ports were the computer controls the mule/ Truck on Docks. Like the auto assembly lines in Factory.
@@rp1645 it hasn't been that way for decades.
@@PumaPete
Is it because there are no more Family members to give jobs to. I remember when they got rid of the oiler. We had them on Hydraulic Hoes. They were really just top men on ditch line. I was told this by a person who works as a Longshoreman. He worked in the industry.
Knappe video collega ! Ik hoop dat de camera de boterham lustte? ;)))

What would i give to have an awesome job like yours.
😁👍
awesome video man I love it
+jetegtmeier71 Thanks! :D
Wow!!!
Chapeau !
Das echt precisiewerk !
Bedankt Luc! Komt heel wat bij kijken inderdaad
@@Container_World inderdaad, ik heb in het verleden ook lasten mogen tillen met een kraan en besef wat een vaardigheid het vergt om de last te laten stil hangen en niet te laten slingeren. Vandaar respect
nice!!
+GS500 DO SANDRINHO Thanks!
keep making vids like that. u got a sub. how bout some super gloria vids? i wanna do that job. i drive a linde h80d rite now. but want more! lol gj
+Chris Kreighbaum Thanks! I will make more videos like this one ;) Do you work with the linde forklift in the port somewhere? Keep it up, maybe one day you wil work even bigger machines than me! ;)
amazing
Thanks!
Yeah think I wanna go to crane school. pretty cool job
Haha yes it is... a DREAMJOB ! I LOVE IT
Container World How do I go about getting the proper training to land a position like this ? Do you need to gain experience working tower cranes for example before your ready for a role such as this ?
I think you have a good channel. I think it will grow well
+Teddy Bass Thanks Mister Bass! I really appreciate this kind of Comments. We Will hit the double this week! 2.000 subscribers 👍
The best Crane Operator!!!!
+Сергей Ларин Thanks my friend!!
Amai, nu da ik jou zo zie dan is de torenkraan waarmee ik werk toch nog altijd maar niks :D
Leuke job , leuke videos , op naar meer subs :p
+Toon Nuytemans Ik heb je video's bekeken, een heel andere job maar ook leuk en uitdagend denkik! Op hoeveel meter hoogte zit je? En hoeveel uren moet je er per dag mee werken?
de kraan van dat montage videoke staat op 35 meter hoogte en heb daar dus al 2 dagen bovenin gezete , 'k werk van 7 tot 16.30
+Toon Nuytemans amai 35? Had ik niet verwacht! Is dat de grootste waar je al mee gewerkt hebt?
Da is de grootste en hoogste ja , 'k had liever een zwaarder kraan gehad die meer kan pakken, maar het is nu zo :s . De hoogte speelt geen rol voor mij, ook al staat die dubbel zo hoog dan kruip ik nog naar boven als het moet :p , alleen meer last van de wind hoe hoger natuurlijk :p
Great video, awesome editing Joris with a couple questions.
I assume you stay up there in your office the whole shift! how many hours?
How many feet or meters are you from the ground in the gantry crane?
You must have a electric or chemical toilet in there as well.
+canvids1 Thanks! I Worked 8hours on this video and I'm proud with this result!
We work 7hours/shift! But we take a 30min break after 4 hours. We don't have a toilet.. :) the cabin is 141feet(43meters) from the ground! The Liebherr mobile cranes around 82feet(25meters)
+Joris Cleiren dam these guys are spoiled here in la/lb port 2 guys work one shit 4 hours each 8-12 next guy 1-5 and they both get payed for 10 hours of work even if they finish the ship early on finishing day and can make on around 200k a year
+Jim Tuna haha damn! Sometimes it is hard to stay focussed after 6-7hours so... And we also ge paid 9 hours to work 7. But we need to work the entire Shift, even the ship is finnished we jump in a reach stacker!
Great Video!!
What if the Containertruck don't stop on the right spot when you should grab it on the port?
Can you move the hook sideways without moving the whole Crane?
Greetings from one tower crane operator to another! What country are you in I am in the United States in Seattle
pretty sure he works at the Port of Antwerp, Belgium
I'm from Europe, Belgium 💪
Correct 😁☝️
leuk man dit is de leukste video tot nu toe maak er zoon egt meer😊😊
+2 gekke pro's casthö Bedankt! Ik heb verschillende nieuwe technieken gebruikt inderdaad! Deze video heb ik 8uren aan gewerkt ;)
I also operate an LHM 550 up in the Great Lakes USA. We do clamshell grab work. Ours is equipped with the Pactronic system. Im considering chasing my dreams and relocating to the coast to become a STS container operator. Do any of you operators that have operated both prefer one or the other? Thank you!
LHM is way more challenging than STS cranes..! I Prefer LHM mobile cranes above STS cranes. Think twice... Look at my other STS movies.
The clamshell machine/ cranes look neat.
Do you use a dozer with undercarriage extra covers. To prevent spills. On pushing the bottom stuff to a pile. Saw a JD ad once. Showing off a Dozer that they put in ship hold to push product to center for clam to pick up
Just asking how do you remove all products out of holds. Thank you.
That crane needs some greace tho 0:50
Great video - one question - how do You know which container to take off from vessel and which should be left ?
+lejeq My Foreman/hatchman got the discharging papers so he tells me what to do;) feel free to ask if you want to know something!
I wish you could make operator videos like this again :)
You like the ''vlog'' slyle first person view? :D
@@Container_World yea I also like the multi camera videos you did showing your hand movments on the sticks too. I didn't know if your company found it to be a "conflict of interest" for you to be making thoes videos or not ??
👍
Coole video! Als ik vragen mag, wie bepaalt waar welke container op een schip geladen moet worden? Of mag u alle containers zo plaatsen in een rij of stapel?
Great video! I would love to do this as a job. Unfortunately, I don't live anywhere near the ocean. What harbor is this at?
hey man, love the skills, congrats, I operate a liebherr gantry crane myself in Newark, I have been doing this around a year last week, but I wish we had such varied service as your ports did. Also question for 2:25, I see a bar in the monitor, is that to represent the force you put into driving the crane, I dont operate mobile harbour cranes, so its hard to know
+cat Did you Comment before with your 'hiimjake'' account? I wanted to respond but I couldn't find the Comment anymore :P Thanks for your comments, this is why I keep making videos! Well noticed about the ''bar'' on the screen. That is an indicator to balance the crane before going to ''driving mode''. So we need to boom up or down to equal the counterweight and boom. Check this video to see the ''working screen''. There is a green bar to indicate the max. load of the crane. Link: th-cam.com/video/AsNBBYbsWHc/w-d-xo.html
no I don't know who that is, so you are saying if the weight is not balnced that bar will indicate to move the boom up or down for stability
+cat Yes, that is correct!
basically according to the load on the hook the crane gives an interval for your boom outreach, lets say you have 15ton on your hook the crane will give you an interval of 26m to 34m and if the bar stays in the middle where the white line is you are in the optimum boom outreach and if you go below or higher; in or out of the rectangle the crane will not go into driving mode it will not allow you to lower the crane onto its wheels.........that is to avoid bad balance when the machine is in driving mode, on the 550 you have 125ton counterbalance if you have a load on the hook and you boom up the weight of your load is shifting around the base plates within an area of 40 sq. meters which are designed to handle big loads something like 100tons+ but if you have the crane on its wheels its whole different story you cant load more than 50tons on a wheel set and you must quite precautions with dynamics load....a wheel set can easily burst causing the crane to go out of balance
+benildo alexandre you know exactly how it works! What is your job? Mechanic or crane operator?
>clicks on, >hears triggering alarm clock tone that I have and hate so much, >clicks off, >goes to destroy computer
+NICKTHEGAMER_ hahahhahhahahahahaa sorry😁

Pretty sure at this point I'm 38,000 of the views on this!
This is so awesome! I'm watching the guys at a port. Is it rare to see a female in this profession because I'm thinking about it=)
Thanks for watching! We have no female crane operators in the entire port of Antwerp! Where do you live? That would be cool
A few here in the US
I heard it is hard to get into. I live in the US
@@naturelover-sj2os as far as operating a gantry crane, it's as difficult as they say, to be actually doing it, but that doesn't mean it can't be done.
You havd a few avenues to get in the door . But they aren't pleasant and usually take an considerable amount of time, usually decades.,
I believe it. I might think about exploring this once i get tired of trucking
How do you know loading container position? Do you study cargo plans before or there is a tallyman (coordinator) which tells you coordinations for all containers seperately?
+iPh3x I don't take any loading papers in the crane, my Foreman/hatchman tells me what to load/unload on bay** and cell **. We are all have radio connection: Foreman, crane operator, drivers and dockers.
Whats the song as soon as the LHM550 starts moving?
exactly like playing a real life video game.
Haha! And it doesn't feel like working..!
But same game everyday😊
Thinking about doing this I’m a driver around the port how do I get certified to become a crane operator
What country do you live in? And what port do you want to work?
$75/Hour not bad..Work 4 Hours and get paid for 9
haha for 75 $ , whom would do that dangers work , i think nobody
Lol people do far dangerous work for way less and after the virus passes people gonna be begging to pick strawberries and clean taco bell toilets for 3 dollars a day.
😁😁
How did you get this career? What kind of training and education did you obtain?
You have got Skills , what luffer You prefer Gotwald or Lieb?
Thanks!! Liebherr for sure!! And you? You must be a crane operator to recordnize my skills ;)
Container World yes mate any kind of lifting equipment is my passion, I have worked on tower cranes , currently running re bar production we have got Kone gantry cranes inside , as a small kid I was only building all sort of cranes from LEGO 😂
Awesome!!!! Hahaa :)
Great video! I work on ships, and have always wondered what it looks like from the crane cab.
It does seem like the down-looking angle could be hard on one's neck, couldn't it?
Thanks for watching! Great to read comments like this! The job is awesome but it is not the best working position for the neck indeed...
@@Container_World I see. I have a few herniated discs in my neck, so this would put me out of commission!
Can you do a video detailing what is in the huge Warehouse In The Sky, on the top/aft end of the STS cranes?
I'm not allowed to do a video there. The port is a restricted area. 80% of goods in our warehouse are huge industrial Paper Rolls. ;)
@@Container_World No, im talking about what LOOKS like a warehouse, up on top of the crane. Most likely electrical and machinery in there. Does it now make sense why I called it a Warehouse-In-The-Sky? Cuz it looks like a little warehouse up on top of crane?
Hello bro...how to get this job, like where did you trained For this.and how did you get the job...can you explain please.
How does one get into this line of work? I'm in the rail industry in the US and I'm thinking about being a crane operator
Talk to the local port authorities. Good luck my friend
In the US..... Damn near impossible .
Are Dock cranes running 24/7?
Yes, when there are ships in the port. Our cranes run 70% of the time.
How do you get into this industry as my nephew wants to do it
fijn bureau
+kool zeker weten!!
Why use a wheeled loader when there are already dockside cranes alongside the ship?
Alarm tone sounds..... V I E T N A M F L A S H B A C K S S S
remeber to link your songs ;)
+NICKTHEGAMER_ ooops I forgot
What school are fees this training
:D
on 550, do you usually do finnlines with nontwin spreader, and are the twin spreaders on lhm longtwin
NICKTHEGAMER_ the non-twin is also a spare spreader. we usually work with the mobile cranes on the finnlines Yes!
I mean, the lhm nontwin spreader
+NICKTHEGAMER_ No they don't have a long twin spreader, they only work in the Standard twin positionering.
+NICKTHEGAMER_ No they don't have a long twin spreader, they only work in the Standard twin positionering.
ok, but do you ever work on finnlines with twin spreader
I have training coming up
Antwerpen??
How many years already did u do this job? And i really want to know hows your neck? Looking downward for 8-7 hours daily is not a good thing i think
I'm a crane operator for 7,5 years now. Had back and neck pains in the past. It is not the world's most ergonomic job correct... But I LOVE IT ;)
@@Container_World did the company pay for your medical?
No, nothing.. But since december my Company offers 80% payback for medical. Thanks to Antwerp Euroterminal
Don’t we check the winch before we start operating the crane?
tbh that just seems like a high stress job
It's just a big claw machine
@@harryjey8830 and ive never been good at those either so it explains a good bit lmao
How about no 😁👍 It is Fun and very challenging
Yup😁👍
how many days in a week you have to operate this ?
+fiex an average of 6days a week! I love it!
is a good pay ? :)
+fiex Yeah it is good but you have a Big responsibility and you have to be 7hours focussed every second!! You need to operate a huge machine around People so you need to be aware of dangers.
I can't be the only one to think this.. but.. what happens if you need to take a piss?
Dear sir.
I am a crane operator and l would like to work in your company.
wat moet je allemaal doen om u job te doen?
+Chiel van proeyen om kraanman te worden?
ja idd ;)
+Chiel van proeyen Eerst en vooral moet je aan de dok geraken. Dat kan 2 maanden duren maar ik ken ook mensen die 10jaar gewacht hebben. Dan kun je ten vroegste na 2 jaar havenarbeider te zijn chauffeur worden. De stap om kraanman te worden kun je niet zelf zetten. Je moet dan een firma vinden die jou als kraanman wil opleiden. Die laatste stap is de moeilijkste...
dacht al zo iets is wel een lange weg voor dat je in de kraan geraakt.
+Chiel van proeyen ja dat wel.... Bij mij is het allemaal heel vlot gegaan omdat ik al iets of wat ervaring had opgedaan bij kranen michielsens, dat heeft wel in mijn voordeel gespeeld. Na 4,5 jaar aan de haven was ik al kraanman. De jongste van heel de haven van Antwerpen zelfs!
Hopefully they tell you what containers to grab and where to put them. They would be screwed if I was put behid those controls otherwise.. lmao
+Snipe Stud00 hahahahaa Yes it is their job to Tell me the correct location on the ship👍
Joris Cleiren Wow, that was a quickest response I've ever seen! Well thats good. Im clueless when it comes to shipping yards. I know about truck driving, just no license to drive yet.
+Snipe Stud00 Haha, thanks. I respond to every comment. And you can request videos, I did it before for my subscribers!
Joris Cleiren Maybe i will one day. Right now I'm just facinated on how quickly yall are. 50-65 containers an hour, thats insane to me. Takes one hell of an operator to do that! I know ships are an organized mess if you will, But its crazy to watch it all unfold and work like its nothing. I couldnt imagin all the small mishaps that happen, combined with all the major accidents that happen. One job you always need to keep on your toes.
Mistakes happen every week, wrong number loaded or wrong position or containers that have to be reloaded(shifter) put on the import Stacks or containers with other dimensions than Paper... :D I can write a book about it haha!
ok, now its time to work on the 5.000 special
+NICKTHEGAMER_ ok, I will!!
