As i have lived half of my life near the oil refinery kilpilahti in southern coast of finland i have seen mammoet move and lift many weirdly shaped and sized refinery equipment into its place.
Those things are his and he can be reckless as much as he wants to be. But this thing is not his so he has to be super super super careful also that shit moves super slow i doubt anything major could heppene
It's spelled "T-H-E-I-R", meaning possession. For example: "Their car" or "Their food". The word "there" that you used means a location. For example: "My house is over there" (pointing in the distance with their arm).
Perpetually impressed with the feats of engineering my small country of the Netherlands produces. Glad to have you visit! The guys at Mammoet seem great lads aswell. Thanks for the great content as always :D
proud to say that our small country (Netherlands) has got this awesome company (mammoet) with the biggest crane and is doing all these specialty lifts all around the world 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱.
7:15 I'm sure what you were talking about was interesting, but I'm more mesmerised by the camera guy dual wielding cameras while keeping track of the narrative of what you're saying and filming the relevant things 😂
"humanity couldnt build the pyramids today even if we wanted to" a random crane with more complexity in the logistics used to make the steel cables alone, nearly double the hight of the pyramids: "are you sure about that"
those kinds of statements about the pyramids are bunk. if a nation wanted to and could spend 20 years and plenty of money it would not be a huge problem. at the time they were built they were the top priority for the monarch and the country believed he was a god and wanted to build the pyramid
@@ronblack7870 I wonder how big the world's most powerful nations could make stone pyramids if they started today. Like, what if the US and China both suddenly converted their military budgets into pyramid budgets or something like that? Hahaha
wait a minute, is mammoth also the company who salvaged the massive soviet submarine called kursk and built the new sarcophagus for chernobyl? holy cow
It's now 6000 Ton, the SK6000. Takes 300 shipping containers, and the additional boom another 50 containers... Takes 12 weeks to put together... Just mind-boggling!
It’s crazy to know that THE Hacksmith, one of the biggest contend creator on the platform, has visited my home town !!! I literally recognize the harbors and docks on the background and obviously the huge crane. I wish I would have seen him around. I hope he enjoyed his time here and whilst he as at it, visiting huge structures, he also popped by one of worlds biggest old style grain grinding windmills. And I truly hope he has tried ‘een kopstootje’ 😂. Hacksmith… if you see this… de groeten uit Schiedam, Nederland 🇳🇱👋
Considering how complex it must be to build one of these cranes and the sheer number of parts involved, completing it in just 6 weeks is incredibly fast, especially given the level of quality control required
This awesome, I can stil see this crane from my bedroom window. Recently mammoet had a ''show day'' showing off the entire mamoet facility including this crane. I was in awe. To now see you in this crane with an insanly detailed explanation is awesome!
It would be so cool to see him do a full metal Elite Riot Gear armor + helmet from Fallout New Vegas, hoping to see that in the future! (hopefully with all the features from the games)
How i imagine the conversation to allow hacksmith to drive the crane going Them: im not sure you can drive this do you have any crane certification Him: im forklift certified Them: holy shit yeah go ahead
@@TwitchyMofo 10% is a whole lot. imagine you making 10% less money. i'd quit. or if you had to pay 10% more taxes. i'd move. imagine being able to bench press 10% more than your max. i could go on forever. but the important thing is that american call really massive things "[x] metric shittons". they swear even. it's a respect thing bc it's so much more and bc you can actually make simple calculations in metric in your head even without having to be a semi-maths genius like how many barley corns are in a ton vs how many milligrams are in a metric tonne.
You must be a god moving100ton hook + cable by barely pushing it 🥶 Imagine pushing game of death and life with that thing only Hackmit survived it. Since He has the GADGETS OF GODS
I first heard of Mammoet years ago on some special heavy lift project that was covered on PBS. Digging into them decades ago was fascinating then and the work they've done over the years is just continually utterly mind boggling at times. You could always tell and this video shows it so well it's a company of very passionate people.
As a Dutch person I think I'm obliged to say Gekoloniseerd. Fun to see Schiedam through this view when I've only ever really seen the city as a city before.
@theHacksmith honored u replied. True! Btw ty for making all the inventions you do. It's so special. You and Mark rover are the best inventor creators on YT that make us all feel happy to see our dreams come to life.
Great to have you on site James - to experience the RAW LIFTING POWER! 💪💪💪
Why has No One commented on this yet jeez
Awesome crane and company!
Very good interview humble but explaining answers.
As i have lived half of my life near the oil refinery kilpilahti in southern coast of finland i have seen mammoet move and lift many weirdly shaped and sized refinery equipment into its place.
Nice vid!
You lucky dawg
we want to see you Rig the largest crane in the world!
Oh hello there
can you fully disassemble the crane in vidéo please ?
You don't want to mess with that Jerry, it will give you deeper scratches at every level.
Im dutch ant i go tere everiday
Considering how you've handled construction equipment (spider mech, power loader) in the past, I'm shocked they let you anywhere near that thing.
Those things are his and he can be reckless as much as he wants to be. But this thing is not his so he has to be super super super careful also that shit moves super slow i doubt anything major could heppene
@@weewoomemes I know, I'm merely joking
isnt james mech suit surtified though
@crazybird199 hello there!
Why do i see you -crazybird- where ever i go?
The real operator showed true joy in his eyes explaining the controls to James
a man that loves and takes pride in his work
I mean working there is a big accomplishment@@MrGoesBoom
It's cool to see James do an interview! Do more!
Agreed! With Tom Scott stepping down, there's a void that needs filling!
Agreed, more content like this it's good.
OMG U SHOULD MAKE THE FALLOUT POWER ARMOR
goeie promoot ook voor jullie
What a behemoth of engineering! You must have been in awe most of that trip!
Pyramid conspiracy theorists who say we can't build the pyramids today should really take a look at this video, lol
Nooo... That crane is clearly not man made
@@Blobfishkat oh no
They said it would be difficult not impossible
Are you trying to say Egyptians used crane to build pyramid 🤡
No one has ever said that
I love that when you are from the Netherlands you directly recognise a Dutch person by there accent.
I heard 2 words and instantly recognised his 'steenkolen engels'
as a dutchman it's always painful to hear your own accent
It's spelled "T-H-E-I-R", meaning possession. For example: "Their car" or "Their food". The word "there" that you used means a location. For example: "My house is over there" (pointing in the distance with their arm).
@@diamondcreepah ja prc, waarom is het nederlandse accent zo slecht als je engels spreekt
Instantly, i saw mammoet and was like "Here we go with the bad english!!" 😂
6:30 "I am Till" this is actually hilarious! "til" means to lift something in Dutch, and he really does, every day 😂
7:38 look at that cameraman dualwielding those camera's tho
Max proficiency
That's awesome.
Perpetually impressed with the feats of engineering my small country of the Netherlands produces. Glad to have you visit! The guys at Mammoet seem great lads aswell. Thanks for the great content as always :D
Makes me proud to be Dutch

A wild Destin appears: "SNATCHBLOCK!?"

(We have more amazing companies like ASML)
For me, the biggest crane comes from Sarens which is Belgian, but for 2m difference we can call it a draw and enjoy our BE-NED super lifters !
@@batagnam but we have 3 of them and 1 of them is going to canada now 😁
Needdeerrrrlaaaand

@@Nianque2 Awesome quote, ngl...

nice to see you are operating the largest crane ever made in hands off a Dutch company.
How else would we wage ware with the sea
wait a minute, is mammoth also the company who salvaged the massive soviet submarine called kursk and built the new sarcophagus for chernobyl? holy cow
I'm not sure there's another one
It's spelled "Mammoet", not "mammoth". Mammoet is a company. Mammoth is an animal.
I believe the Kursk was salvaged by another Dutch company. Smit/Boskalis is also doing some heavy lifting. I believe they did the Kursk.
@@groentjuheu SMIT did it in a collaboration with Mammoet..
they were involved in the costa concordia as well
I love how he said you are free to come by anytime. That means more than you know. People don't say that unless they mean it.
NETHERLANDS MENTIONED, WHAT IS LIVING ABOVE SEA LEVEL 🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀
The crane on our site BIG Carl is 820ft tall 250m, his largest boom length of 160m 5000ton lift capability. HPC Site UK. Your welcome!
James reaching all new heights! Doing the heavy lifting!
It's now 6000 Ton, the SK6000. Takes 300 shipping containers, and the additional boom another 50 containers... Takes 12 weeks to put together... Just mind-boggling!
Welkom to the Netherlands! Hope you had a great time here!!
its so cool to see James just having a good time, doing what he wants to do learning new things, we will always support you! ❤

I love the Netherlands!
@@hacksmithi met you in the netherlands at some kind of technology expo in 2018 that moment is now one of my core memories

Looking for this comment

This was super interesting, James is such a great interviewer, and who doesn't love a massive crane. 😀
And some people say size doesn't matter
I worked on the previous worlds largest crane. The Bigge 125D. These are impressive machines!
1:00
“Crane-alot!”
“Crane-alot!!!”
“Crane-alot!!!!!”
“It’s only a model.”
Amazing video! I hope you enjoyed it here in The Netherlands!
The fears of engineering. Truly spectacular!
Love seeing this crane at full capacity
genuinely one of the most impressive and renowned companies in the world. Great stuff!
really enjoy seeing james this hyped
Bro is a master at doing side quests
So cool. That must have been so fun
James is a surprisingly good interviewer 😮
This is amazing, almost feels like a Tom Scott video! Different than your usual, and I welcome that!
Finally a crane to lift Caseoh
💀
2:15 Gotta love zip ties baby!
This man seemed legitimately happy to talk cranes, love it.
Love that you came to a dutch company that is big in transporting and lifting big things
They are such a neat company. Those multi wheel remote transporters are the coolest.
TH-cam singlehandedly keeps my interest in learning new things alive
Morning Guys - where has summer gone?
It’s funny how when the crane operator in the intro spoke one word, I could instantly recognize you were in the Netherlands 😂🇳🇱
See those type of cranes in oil and gas industry all the time. Takes about a month to assemble.
WOOOOO this looks awesome!!! I can’t believe how powerful this thing is. I can’t believe it can be shipped either. Thank you for showing us this beast
That amount of raw power can only remind me of a full grown great white shark 🦈
Yes indeed you intelligent gentleman
Likewise kind sir ✊🏿
Well well well aren't I the popular fellow today , At ease solider!!
The way you look like a little kid when talking about a crane. Thanks for this fun video. 👍
he was also in a big boys' playground
Destin for Smarter Every Day would love this as he loves snatch blocks
So how many regular cranes does it take to set this one up in a decent time? :D
Who the hell let James control a crane 😂
It's how they put the crains together that impresses me, its like origami and mechano in one. 🤔
It’s funny. I drive almost everyday beside that crane. Soo for me this is soo normal to see 😂
Proud to be Dutch 🇳🇱
Great to see you feeling so free to try things and ask questions! Love the video!
Liked this video before I even watched it love big machinery
Finally! A crane that can lift Caseoh!
The way it is from a drone is badass
How does this only have 3k likes after an hour...it's amazing!
The most mechanical engineer video ever, being so happy about cranes lol
i don't mind seeing more of these machinery/equipment informational videos.
Pretty interesting.
They must have built that for Caseoh.
First. Thank you for liters and meters. We outside US like that. :) Second. A very interesting film. :)
That's crazy! The world's biggest crane! I wonder what other insane things you'll license!
"How did you become the world's biggest crane operator?" What? He's not even that big.
EDIT: 9:43
Next ask to pilot one of the rotary coal excavators in Germany. In my opinion, even more impressive.
Now that's a unique show, thanks for sharing this inside view on such a huge crane!
I love that I got to experience this through you!
When did you visit, the weather's been completely shit the last couple of months, so you've been blessed with the blue sky!
I did my brand study on Mammoet when I was in college for graphic design it's one of the coolest Logos and brand names ever.
Finally a way we can move around CaseOh!
0:58 Nice Zoolander reference!
А за сколько времени команда "The Hacksmith" построила бы такой кран ? 🤔👍🏻
That rigging room is crazy
You need to make a duel disk IRL please
Loved this video! gave me old discovery channel vibes!

these people are dutch, they dont know the imperial system, so these are tonnes, not tons. 9000 tonnes are a whole lot more than just 9000 tons
Imperial system 🤡
Only about 10%. Not that much more.

''even with today technology we couldn't build the pyramids''
Mammoth : allow me to introduce myself
That is an impressive Machina 🎉🎉🎉
I just KNOW that operator is making BANK. 🤑🤑🤑
This was such a cool video. I hope you do more like this from time to time when you have the chance to.

2:45 what happened if someone fall on the tracks
This would be a cool series, can you do the massive excavators next
So how well would you say your mech driving experience prepared you for this moment?
Ur thumbnail is incorrect. You said 225m in the video opener for the crane which is 738m yet on ur thumbnail it says 713ft. Great video lol❤
They can be configured for different heights
