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 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱.
"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
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 😂
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!
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 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
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.
I’m building a slab for one of these right now in Canada it’s about 3-400 tons of rebar just for the crane base alone and around 250 piles in the ground
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!
Having worked with heavy-duty Industrial systems that move around 1000L of oil per minute, let me tell you you do not want to be around that thing if a pipe or hose busts...
nice to see you have been to the netherlands!! i sometimes work on those cranes (and smaller) if there is an hydraulic leak, our company does business with them often
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.
i've been there in 2009 when I was 12 years old, they had an event and I operated one of their smaller cranes. you could win a goodie bag if you managed to lower one inside an oil barrel. still use the can opener keychain it came with, just lost the logo quite a few years ago.
i live in schiedam, i cycle past this place to school everyday, it's within walking distance from my house. sad to have missed your visit. hope you enjoyed your time in the netherlands
At our resurrected radio observatory, we did some tracking tests today. The elevation axis was moving so slowly that I had to use a Sharpie on part of the mechanism to convince myself that it was actually moving. But our little gizmo only weights 5.6 tonnes, and the Davit crane can lift only a paltry 1.5 tonne :) You guys should visit sometime. Anyone who likes mechatronics might enjoy our simple "robot"...
A thing I thought would be a great video idea: build a lightweight lightning rod that can be carried on your back (maybe as tall as a street light pole for effectiveness), and have the tip of it look like thor's hammer, 'cuz it seems cool
I did a flight in a Cessna a few months ago and saw this in the Notams, no idea it was the biggest in the world so it’s real cool to see a video about it

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
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!
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
What a behemoth of engineering! You must have been in awe most of that trip!
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
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!!" 😂
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
7:38 look at that cameraman dualwielding those camera's tho
Max proficiency
6:30 "I am Till" this is actually hilarious! "til" means to lift something in Dutch, and he really does, every day 😂
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
Same
That's awesome.
"It's actually a giant snatchblock!"
A wild Destin appears: "SNATCHBLOCK!?"
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 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱.
(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
Altijd toch
Altijd toch
Beste engineers ooit
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

Owen is the best! 👌
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.
James reaching all new heights! Doing the heavy lifting!
And some people say size doesn't matter
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!
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!
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
The "what is this a ___ for ants" reference always kills me
Looking for this comment
Welkom to the Netherlands! Hope you had a great time here!!

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
I worked on the previous worlds largest crane. The Bigge 125D. These are impressive machines!
The fears of engineering. Truly spectacular!
So cool. That must have been so fun
NETHERLANDS MENTIONED, WHAT IS LIVING ABOVE SEA LEVEL 🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀
This was super interesting, James is such a great interviewer, and who doesn't love a massive crane. 😀
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
really enjoy seeing james this hyped
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! ❤
Love that you came to a dutch company that is big in transporting and lifting big things
This is amazing, almost feels like a Tom Scott video! Different than your usual, and I welcome that!
Bro is a master at doing side quests
This man seemed legitimately happy to talk cranes, love it.
See those type of cranes in oil and gas industry all the time. Takes about a month to assemble.
They are such a neat company. Those multi wheel remote transporters are the coolest.
They must have built that for Caseoh.
Amazing video! I hope you enjoyed it here in The Netherlands!
The way it is from a drone is badass
So how many regular cranes does it take to set this one up in a decent time? :D
1:00
“Crane-alot!”
“Crane-alot!!!”
“Crane-alot!!!!!”
“It’s only a model.”
Destin for Smarter Every Day would love this as he loves snatch blocks
I've worked around this crain in Pennsylvania about 5 years ago. The video doesn't do it justice on how big it is
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
genuinely one of the most impressive and renowned companies in the world. Great stuff!
That's crazy! The world's biggest crane! I wonder what other insane things you'll license!
TH-cam singlehandedly keeps my interest in learning new things alive
You need to make a duel disk IRL please

So how well would you say your mech driving experience prepared you for this moment?
I love that I got to experience this through you!
Morning Guys - where has summer gone?
Now that's one mammoth of a crane.
Woah woah woah....what about Big Carl....that crane has it's own wiki entry!
I’m building a slab for one of these right now in Canada it’s about 3-400 tons of rebar just for the crane base alone and around 250 piles in the ground
Finally! A crane that can lift Caseoh!
As a crane operator for simple tower cranes, this is huge. I max out at 50tons if the customer orders it. But 12ton is the basic.
Proud to be Dutch 🇳🇱
I had an an idea which probably can’t work but why can’t you make a light saber out of a bunch of lasers and a mirrors.
When did you visit, the weather's been completely shit the last couple of months, so you've been blessed with the blue sky!
Now that's a unique show, thanks for sharing this inside view on such a huge crane!
It’s funny. I drive almost everyday beside that crane. Soo for me this is soo normal to see 😂
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!
Liked this video before I even watched it love big machinery
Finally a crane to lift Caseoh
💀
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
i don't mind seeing more of these machinery/equipment informational videos.
Pretty interesting.
Having worked with heavy-duty Industrial systems that move around 1000L of oil per minute, let me tell you you do not want to be around that thing if a pipe or hose busts...
It's how they put the crains together that impresses me, its like origami and mechano in one. 🤔
nice to see you have been to the netherlands!! i sometimes work on those cranes (and smaller) if there is an hydraulic leak, our company does business with them often
Ah, heavy equipment that comes with its own weather. Nice.
It’s funny how when the crane operator in the intro spoke one word, I could instantly recognize you were in the Netherlands 😂🇳🇱
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.
That rigging room is crazy
I am surprised no one has built a walking crane that like this one.
James is a surprisingly good interviewer 😮
When you need to unload a container boat all containers at once.
Finally a way we can move around CaseOh!
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 most mechanical engineer video ever, being so happy about cranes lol
I'm getting flash backs to Milwaukee in the early 00s.
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.
I used to inspect rigging equipment that big
Sounds really cool man fr
How do these guys even land opportunities like this, its so insane
Great to see you feeling so free to try things and ask questions! Love the video!
james doing sidequests
i think it woould be super cool to see you guys make power armor
Wow, mammoet is literally in walking distance from my house and I had no idea they did these large international projects 😮
i've been there in 2009 when I was 12 years old, they had an event and I operated one of their smaller cranes.
you could win a goodie bag if you managed to lower one inside an oil barrel.
still use the can opener keychain it came with, just lost the logo quite a few years ago.
Next ask to pilot one of the rotary coal excavators in Germany. In my opinion, even more impressive.
i live in schiedam, i cycle past this place to school everyday, it's within walking distance from my house. sad to have missed your visit. hope you enjoyed your time in the netherlands
I saw one of these IRL when it was assembled at Reliance Industries Jamnagar. Awesome Engineering!
