I watched this with a real sense of pleasure at watching true professionals at work. My absolute respect to all involved. Genuinely a really professional operation involving people that take pride in their work and take even greater pride in their consideration of others safety. People like these build our world : )
Retired IW out of Local 387. You guys were smooth. Last year here in Atlanta some guys were taking one down here and screwed up. Evacuated buildings around it, blocked off a major street, genuine cluster. $$$$, all fine and dandy till it goes south. I worked with some solid guys over the years. Certainly not a easy profession, a rewarding one for sure.
as an electrician I have worked on many projects where these cranes were used. Usually by the time i arrived at the site the crane was already erected, and i often wondered how these beasts were assembled and disassembled......questions answered thanks for the video, and much respect to these professionals
I do safety here in southeast texas , that was one of the best dissasimblies i have seen, the safety aspect of this job is the key to a better day, and a day you go home safe, great job hands.
HOLY MOTHER OF GOD! I have such mad respect for all of you Men, that assemble, operate and then, tear these Cranes down. My Father ran Cranes to 150 tons, for 30 years, until he retired, and my greatest memories were of him, loading our crew boats and Offshore Supply boats in Port, where I worked, and before that, rigging for him in the summers and on weekends. I have an abject fear of heights, so I DOUBLE respect you all, for working so high up, and riding the baskets. You are all awesome.
As a retired industrial Pattern Maker of 42 years, I find this very fascinating , wonderful engineering and men and women so dedicated to their job and to the safety of all.Thanks for sharing.
I worked as a crane coordinator for Syncrude for a couple of years... was always curious to see this done but was stuck in the office!! Really great video!!
Absolutely awesome. There is no room for cowboys in the crew - quite different than many oil drilling/pumping rigs. Every move ya'all made was deliberate, patient, and necessary. Thanks for sharing a glimpse into what it takes to safely disassemble one of these monster tools. Much respect.
I watched a tower crane being assembled and dismantled near my house last year,and I have a great deal of respect and admiration for the courageous men who work on cranes. I watched one guy walking along the jib while it was slewing,and I recalled my days building scaffolding. No comparison! These guys have real guts!
I just love the whole, "we found a Krull 10000 on the internet".. I was expecting them to say "we won it on Ebay!" But I have to give it to them, that's one HELL of a project in what looks like a very tight work space, well done to a safe and successful project.
The beginning of this video reminded me of Jackass beginning with Johnny Knoxville saying "Hi I'm Johnny Knoxville, welcome to Jackass then he proceeds to getting the f*£k kicked out of him by something or someone, but instead this video shows the very best highly trained skilled men risking their lives to improve our world. Mega respect.
I worked in a maximum security prison for 6 years with some of worst people alive. Did multiple cell entries when the inmate had a weapon and id do it again if I had to. Your job you couldn't pay me enough to do that. Hell no. That is where my cowardice would show. Respect gentlemen. That's something I could never ever do.
I mean operator is making probably north of 200+ a hour and the crew taking this baby down is probably also at least north of 40-60 a hour if I would guess. Sooo almost a mill a year would definitely make me want to do this lol
I like this work,iam pilipino tower crane erector, working liebherr and ueg Qatar.. and doosan company terex and comodel..always God bless you to all...
Watching this video has really showed how much work goes into dismantling these huge cranes, it's a highly skilled job done by real professionals, these men deserve huge pay checks for that work

I worked with Assembling and disassembling tower cranes for almost 5 years mostly Liebherr and Linden Comamsa. Best job i ever had. Working in a crew like those guys is special. It look easy but trust me, it's NOT. There's allot to consider when you assemble or disassemble a tower crane, one single mistake can be catastrophic.
The best part is that if you make a critical life altering mistake you only have a brief period of time to reconsider your course of action that led to the unfortunate outcome you are about to face!
@@davidm3maniac201 One answer is that it’s usually a young mans job. Crane work is sporadic so you are doing other Ironworking jobs. Good $$$, it’s seven days a week till it’s off site

I worked at Syncrude in 1986 and remember they had the largest lathe on the planet at that time (another lathe, it's brother was in Russia). Oh, and the highest I ever had to work at was Petrosar refinery in the late 70's and early 80's. I worked in utilities and had to issue permits during the shutdown in 79 or 80 (don't remember which) and I had to climb the (about) 356 ft to the top of the flare and conduct gas meter testing for LEL's, O2 etc. for entry into the flare stack for inspection and repairs. I think I still have a Syncrude jacket and a Petrosar work shirt. Also I remember working at Suncor the night of the massive Syncrude fluid coker fire in late 1984 (as I recall)

Hello I rigged for the boilermakers in Houston and was involved on manny rigging jobs for over 25 years.you get to love this kind of job..no mistakes not one is the rule I miss it .And the cash was great .
We had a girl do that here in Toronto recently. It took a special team of trained firefighters several ours to go up, go to the end of the boom and down the cable to the 6 inch wide cable jib (terminolgy?).They then put her in a ling and lowered her down where she was arrested, had a mental health assessment and then went to jail. She is now facing trespassing charges as well as charges related to having to call the fire department and police out. She also is facing a civil suit from the contraction company for lost time and wages for the construction crew and is being billed for the police, security company and fire crew. Totals cost is estimated to be $200 to $300 thousand Dollars. All this because she was bored and wanted to see a thrill. She is likely going to get a sentence of two years less a day in jail.
Amazing work, well produced video. I respect these Iron Workers and there skills. Congratulation on a successful, installation, and removal of the Huge piece of equipment.
I was up at Ft Mackay picking up a pipelayer and saw the K-10,000 while it stood there. Like a sentinel. I had no idea it was dismantled til I went past mid sept to Firebag and saw it missing. That's why I searched for this. Very interesting the amount of work involved.

i was there the week they took the more difficult section down they sent most workers home but i was fortunate enough to work through and watch it coming down.I was also fortunate enough to get onto the mast and inspect a scaffold up there

Glad there are guys with the balls to do this kind of work. Lots of negative comments from people who would more than likely shit their pants doing work half as dangerous.
@@thatduderemi6377 Just saw a video where 5 men fell to their death erecting antenna tower. They was hoisting final section and bolts broke. 3 of them was inside the section being lifted.

@Mark Jacobs alberta goin for shit now the political bullshit from everywhere all decided to fuck everything and there not done yet,running the province and the country right off the tracks
I got into the crane driver gig by accident on my OE. Said I could control one as a casual labourer and up I went and learnt on the fly. All in Germany. Home to NZ eventually with crane XP. Crane driver for life.
amazing to watch ...true professionals who have respect for the dangers of this work...not a bunch of dumb , no problem here , let's knock this out....guys......this is why steel workers ..riggers.. crane operators earn what they do
+Sign in Here .......from what i've heard in the past...union steel workers are $100+ an hour....and crane operators easily double that, here in NYC anyway......
Back in the 60's in the UK, I was on a team building a Picon tower crane 100 foot tower, 100 foot jib. No other cranes on site as it built itself. After the base was constructed, the jib was built [about 15 feet off the ground] then the tower was constructed using a small jib. Then the cable drum on the jib was used to haul itself up using a long wire cable. About 40 feet up the cable snapped and the jib dropped back down breaking its self in half. Luckily I was a it fleeter in foot those days, because where I was standing holding a rope to stop the jib from revolving, was a heap of concrete from the ballast weight box!
Hats off to the man smart enough to design this system! And damn fellas to the workers doing it! Balls of steel on a bunch of hard workers,! You guys are bad asses
That is a Monster Tower Crane! I don't think you can appreciate just how big that thing is unless you have been around some normal towers. The tip being 28,000 lbs is insane. Great Video!
That's pretty amazing. I would wet myself if I was inside one of those baskets way up there. Morning meeting: "Don't drop any tools or bolts, okay?" Long way down!
It’s the portable cranes that take down these monsters that really blow my mind. Watching mutilple semi trucks show up to set up a single crane is amazing
Pandayotegoog Leintheass its not so bad when you ease into the sky u work ur way up so it kinda feels lile u never left the ground,,,, its when u been off for 5 months and hire in and get thrown into the middle of a project takin place at 400 ft in the air with the wind howling,,,yea it will knock your rockss off for sure! At rush so intense your forget what time it is! Pretty cool shit
Jntterminx, you only need “40 foot square area.” (a square about 6 1/2 feet on each side) actually, that is what the guy said in the video, but the specifications I looked up say it sits on a 40 foot diameter concrete pad (which is an area of about 1256 square feet) still, that is an incredibly small footprint for such a massive and capable machine!
Jorgie Vencez, I don’t really know what you are trying to say, but I do know anything that “inhibits” pedophilia is a good thing! Anything, (including a bullet to the head, or castration of pedophiles, if neccessary, etc.) that allows a child to grow up innocent and prevents the torment of any child is a good thing!
Glad they put that "don't do this at home" disclaimer I almost got my tower crane out

Even 9 years later, this is still a good vid! Nice work!!
That's pretty amazing. I would wet myself if I was inside one of those baskets way up there.
Morning meeting: "Don't drop any tools or bolts, okay?" Long way down!
It’s the portable cranes that take down these monsters that really blow my mind. Watching mutilple semi trucks show up to set up a single crane is amazing
Crawler’s ?
the higher you are up, the comfort level is actually pleasant.
Pandayotegoog Leintheass its not so bad when you ease into the sky u work ur way up so it kinda feels lile u never left the ground,,,, its when u been off for 5 months and hire in and get thrown into the middle of a project takin place at 400 ft in the air with the wind howling,,,yea it will knock your rockss off for sure! At rush so intense your forget what time it is! Pretty cool shit
simple man I could do this but not if the wind is crazy like 50mph nopeeeee
Amazing! Can't believe that takes over 43 days to dismantle. What a feat of engineering
Gives you the size of this monster
Normally average size can be taken down in 2 -3 days depending on height.
Edited this as a kid out of NAIT nearly a decade ago. Can't believe how many views it has now!
Why? It is an amazing job and well done on editing it. I enjoyed it very much, and those lads did a great job. Cheers from Australia.
Huey!!!
I used to work with him.
Awesome guy!
He used to run our 1000 ton.
Sounds like he lost his British accent.
Where is he from ( Huey )
Awesome work guys
operations in the sky. it takes a special cut of person to do this kind of work. these workers are heroes.
awesome job guys but for the heights you can keep it
Spectacular. These guys are definitely at the top of their field.
this crane was setup at the Syncrude oil sand extraction site in Fort Mcmurray Alberta. Canada
Respect to the Iron workers, Im an Union Electrician so I've always wondered how they build/disassemble these cranes
Kids don't try this at home XD I totally have a crane in my house
Jntterminx,
you only need “40 foot square area.” (a square about 6 1/2 feet on each side)
actually, that is what the guy said in the video, but the specifications I looked up say it sits on a 40 foot diameter concrete pad (which is an area of about 1256 square feet)
still, that is an incredibly small footprint for such a massive and capable machine!
Jorgie Vencez,
I don’t really know what you are trying to say, but I do know anything that “inhibits” pedophilia is a good thing!
Anything, (including a bullet to the head, or castration of pedophiles, if neccessary, etc.) that allows a child to grow up innocent and prevents the torment of any child is a good thing!
@@jorgevencespizzakiller933 Why don't you tell him how you really feel!
I admire these workers more than spoiled brat athletes. Great job!
Remember Earnie Sheaves from Club Champion Championship golf tournament in Ottawa in 97!! A fine gentleman!
'Kids, don't try this at home'
Yeah, because kids just so happen to have one of these in their back yard...
Got the second biggest crane here in Phoenix az on this big project we’re doing it’s huge!
Canadian crane professionals are the best in the world. Yes I said it.
ovid4 I'd say Germans.
Shut up stupid
5:00 I love his reaction lol it’s so honest, he’s like... ugh.. excited?!
Long way to go to finish up
After they finished dismantling entire crane, come to find out they still had 3 days of high work left. Damn 😳
You all did a great job,good luck to all and stay safe. I wonder how many of these guys likes to play with Legos growing up.
Respekt for the Workers!!!
Put some respek on they name, now is we done or we finished? lol
