I remember building a cold tower for a LNG plant it weighed 160 tons toke 3 month to come to AZ from TX. Had the Bragg Track Crane sitting for two months waiting for it. Was awesome seeing it pick it up and lift it 50ft above the pipe racks and track it’s way bout 150 to set it down.
Please Mammoet, no music. It's not a rock opera. The only people who watch your videos are gear heads....we want to hear the sounds of these machines...its simple.
I did and it's called a cracker plant and it's in monaca PA it's supposed to be self compelled and the plant is made make little plastic beads. Every gas line from there to Pittsburgh is some shape or form connected to there
I worked at Phillips 66 in Sulpher, Tx like 4 or 5 years ago and they had this kinda crane there,to replace the Coker silos.. it was giant.. it took other big ass cranes to lift the spreader bar and straps they used.. it was crazy.. They had to book the crane like 3 years in advance, and if you weren't ready to use it, ohh well then they'll bring it just to sit there. It was the largest crane in North and South America..
Just think, how the hell would the Egyptians move the 1200 ton obelisk when it was finished, then transport it wherever they were going to put it. When we have to build machines like these to move stuff that heavy. Blows my mind.
Saw one of these wash towers being transported in northern Alberta. Massive structure indeed. Two trucks pulling and two trucks pushing. They were on the tall load corridor but still had to lift wires to pass. Crazy.
@@fishfire_2999 They're calling this one a wash tower. I don't know the specific operation of this one, but distillation columns can be a similar design. The process will generally either enter at the top and filter or separate as it works it's way down through the internal trays or it can go in at the bottom and the lighter fluids will rise upwards and separate from the material. I'm sure there are better explanations available online. And I'm an Inspector, not a chemical engineering so my operational knowledge is limited.
Hard enough to build such a large piece of equipment. Now it's got to be transported from fabricator to work site. After all that, now it needs to be lifted. Not just an easy pure vertical lift, it has to be turned 90 degrees from its side, then lifted with millimeter precision. The crane is 4 cranes together and there are multiple support cranes also. If it's huge and heavy, who you going to call? = Mammoet.
What is it they are setting up in the video? It looks like the crane is built into the ground is it not moveable? Pretty nuts to be able to move 1600tons
Towers, heaters, coolers, settlement tanks etc. on Refineries and Chem. Plants will usually have gantries/catwalks/ladders fixed after installation. That said, yeah, probably a manbox or a big boomlift EWP.
Seems overkill to me, the crawler cranes have lifted things like that or heavier. Also I find it daft they have these great tall towers, no support lines, so what happens if in that vast open flat land they get strong winds??
You are correct. This crane can lift heavier. For this particular project, the PTC 200 was chosen because of it's reach. The crane was able to lift and set modules at a further distance than other cranes, minimizing downtime and disruption to the job site. In regards to strong winds, great question! A storm anchor is used to provide stability to the crane. Calculations have been made made to determine how much weight the anchor requires in certain wind speeds. Hurricane Harvey blew through the Gulf Coast during this project and the crane and towers were stable with no issues.
Mammoet Rhanks for the reply, I didn’t think of the crane lifting other towers and having to place them at a distance, I see by you would use that crane. And I didn’t know about storm anchors. Thanks for the info. Must be a bit of a logistical nightmare moving the crane around though! Their can’t be too many of them in the world.
Absolutely amazing at the things we can build from materials pulled from the earth.

Michael Mccarthy and ladies like me who wonder how the hell all these things happen . Lol I love these videos
It is sped up by about 200 times it took a whole day to move this unit into position.
I agree but I found turn off volume is where you going to get the most success.
Michael Mccarthy Sounds like your a little kid who wants to heaw de machinews goo voom
i enjoyed the music a lot lol, sounds like a steve reich minimalism modern thing
Watching this was definitely amazing. It was one of several impressive lifts done at where I work. Still there to this day.
No doubt the lift and crazy is amazing. Keeping a 1600 ton wash tower from buckling in the middle during the lift is just as amazing 💪🏻👍🏻👍🏻
It's a awesome move by a wonderful mahine and off course kudos to every person/s who have handled this, on & off ground.
I worked on this project. So much bigger in person

That crane is taller than 99.9% of the skylines on this earth.
I can see the vertical compressor we packaged at Procegas LLC in Houston TX. Bottom left corner at the end of the video.
i think,, that refinery is in Cartagena colombia

For me the best firm for this business on this planet.
With a great distance to the other players in this movement game.
There's a reason why they have been number 1 for 2018 and 2019 on The Transport 50 Index. With 40 depots and area of operation is worldwide.
Liebherr?
That's cool how they tailed it with the dollies instead of another crane
If you don’t like the music mute it. This is an incredible video.
Very nicely done Great Pick !
The team did an excellent job!
Cool! Thanks!👍👍

That whole site is enormous.
The foundation blocks in Baalbek Lebanon weighed as much as this and are well over 2000 years old.
ABSOLUTELY SUBSCRIBED! ... The scale and magnitude of that task AND the crane was AMAZING! .... (incidentally ... WTF is a "wash tower?").
Had to look this thing up it's in my town Monaca pa what a monster
What a beautiful machine, form following function, just like a Ducati motorcycle, same color, too.
This crane is at the site I'm working at now. Impressive to watch what it can do.

Shell?
I inspect towers and columns like this. Love watching plants get built!
What is that ?

@@inspectorevo5704 That was plenty of info for me to piece together , thanks for info✌
i cannot begin to imagine the operational and logistical nightmare it is to organise a construction site this huge.
No problem for the USA
Awesome lift!
Should have used the Jimi Hendrix version of "All Along the Washtower" as the embedded music.
One of the best comments EVER!! And lol, not even one other comment..!! Pitiful..!!
Damn curiosity, now I have to find out what a Wash Tower is.
I watched this lift from across the interstate. I work at an adjacent plant.
awesome pick
i like the part when it lifted the heavy thing
Essas operações é sensacional! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
damn that is a pipe welders heaven right there. miles and miles of pipe and thousands of welds to lay
There is a lot more planning that goes into one of these lifts than people realize.
That's indeed true! Hours and hours of preparation
I worked with this crain in 2009 amazing we did two liftings 700 ton and 1300 ton it is really amazing
How long does it take to setup this impressive ringer crane?
Most 2 month actually.. after my team do ground test.
I bet Mr Mammoet had a big Meccano set once upon a time....

No doubt.
Had to use the crane as the Mi26 was busy that day?
thanks for your information
I wonder how loads of whites that tower can do at one time ?
Wouldnt it be easier to rebuild the tower at this point?
Pfft, that only looked like 1500 tons! :)
@@andredoernen8265 Bet You that ONE time You went to that party You was sitting in the corner with a filtered water 😁😁😁
Why not use the quick way free drop les nz
Very cool! Biggest I've used is a 30ton overhead crane in a tool and die shop. Can anyone explain to me what a wash tower is?
William DeGrandchamp. Same here except ours was 15 ton, valve manufacturing company.
I think that it is a processing station in an oil refinery. Perhaps to remove sulfur.
I would love to operate such machines. So far I only did tower cranes up to 8 ton.
Amazing
What type facility is being built?!

My guess it is on Reliance Jamnagar J3 project.... I remember this seen Gassification plant reactor
How much does it cost to move something like that vs building it in place?
Building on the spot is very slow.
If you build of site you can start on more points @ the same time.
Very impressive!
Can you imagine the torque in this vessel when it first left the supports?
Bending and shear stresses but no torque.
@MAMMOET Is this jubail ksa.im looking for the huge wash tower made by bilfal heavy industries
What is it they are setting up in the video? It looks like the crane is built into the ground is it not moveable? Pretty nuts to be able to move 1600tons
im thefuckinglizardking just rotates 360
Who was it that said: "Give me a lever big enough and I can move the world" ?
Impressive! The civil crew actually got the anchor points right, I didn't see anybody knocking over an all thread.
Shootter
Could be wrong, but I think that part of the vid is an animation.
Shootter. It's funny how often that happens.
No animations here! This video is all from time lapse cameras. All crews did a great job on planning and execution.
@@MammoetHeavyLifting im not sure which is more impressive - the sheer size and weight of the load or the precision.
I have a hot wrench and a welder that says I can make anything fit :)

How long does it take to set that crane up? Or tear it down?
It would take 15 days approximately.
Syed amir Ali it took a month I was on this project in Louisiana.
@@wesleylofton84 long time Wes. Hope lifes been good.
How long does it take to set up the crane? It was huge!
I actually moved a piece of the track this crane rides on. This video doesn't do it any justice on how massive this crane is.
Watching this I couldn’t help but think the phrase “picking up a turd by the clean end”. Amazing work though!
I delivered a load of structural steel there as this lift was being executed and I was allowed to watch from a distance of course it was awesome
It is interesting to see in person!
That's 1600 tons on the jib and luffing. pull all that off, and just use the main boom I wonder what her rating is then?
I can't imagine how much that hook probably weighs.
Human beings are the greatest creature of this plane
very cool!
Everyone: Tower that high cannot be lifted as a one piece. You must make it piece by piece.
PTC 200 DS: Hold my beer.
Awsome job. 🇱🇺💪
wow! that kind of weight just boggles the mind.
that is lifting more than two fully loaded A380s.
yeah, i hate the music too.
You should use analogies of every day objects...Like This; It's like lifting 640,000 - 5lb bags of sugar...or 372,093 Gallons of milk..
How did they remove the rigging from the top of the vessel
I think they use another crane with a cage , to lift riggers up to the lifting points.
Glen Mccarthy. Onece is set up and level they go up. And disconect rigging eq.
I work on this job they used really long tag lines tied to the slings!
Makes sense , thanks.
I agree the music is offputing
И сколько стоит такой подъём ?
Bet some detailed planning went into this.
Yes, Mammoet's engineering team did a great job!

Hi there,
This was from another project in Louisiana.

@Mammoet, how do you guys remove the slings and the lifting gear after installation? Manlift?
Towers, heaters, coolers, settlement tanks etc. on Refineries and Chem. Plants will usually have gantries/catwalks/ladders fixed after installation.
That said, yeah, probably a manbox or a big boomlift EWP.

Good operator. Thats more difficult that it looks.
I had to mute this nerve-wreaking music....
Other than that the video was fantastic !!!
thats music reflects the nerves of this crane's engineers, if everything falls.
what's the height and weight?
sorry the height. got the weight
@@mingming9604 Hi, The wash tower was over 100 meters tall. Thanks for watching!

This was the lotte Axial plant. Right down the road from sasol.
Is there a reinforced compartment for the operators balls?
Seriously though. Nerves of steel, and it's always amazing when a plan actually works.
