  • A railroad bridge has to be laid over a four-lane federal highway near Flensburg. It is made of steel, 46 meters long, eight meters wide, over three meters high and weighs 267 tons. Two mobile cranes are needed for this. They weigh over 100 tons and can lift up to 1,000 tons. These extreme weightlifters first have to be assembled themselves, and their parts transported to construction sites.This report shows how they are assembled and used.

    @Metagross555 ปีที่แล้ว +16

    Some crane handling things that weren't mentioned, a crane operator can plumb himself up by watching which way the hook goes as tension is put on and following it, then slacking, and tensioning until the hook doesn't move horizontally. When picking up and setting down heavy objects, the crane computer must be watched as well, as weight is gained the boom will deflect outwards, and if you don't boom up, the load will swing away from the crane, likewise while setting down.
    And with an uncooperative long load, get the tag line, stand in one place and let the crane maneuver it to where the other end can be grabbed, then send it

    • @dennismcclintock3154
      @dennismcclintock3154 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes as an operator here in the states they don’t say in video but also as the boom is tilted forward meaning away from the operator.This cause extensive tip weight meaning the down ward force exerted on the boom and cable combination can cause a massive over load hence cause the crane to fail.That is why the extensive extending of the boom and having the proper length of the in the overalll crane length is necessary to prevent to forward and shocking the crane in the tip weight.this video was excellent and very informative and yes the over view of the extensive counter weights is necessary also too control the fine tune of a balancing act and the tip weight.Once against THANKYOU FOR YOUR GREAT VIDEO

    I myself work at a Prefab concrete factory. And the steel net is made somewhere else. Under Germany. And really always, there are rods in the way. If you want to apply provisions. Because on the drawing it fits with the rods. But there is always a wide anchor point, no matter what has to go through first. And that is never taken into account.

      So they know the bridge needs changing. And yet put in an expensive "temporary bridge". I think they may not have wanted to have the plans drawn up with the heading "Final Solution" written on them ( unlike our colleagues in a German subsidiary who would regularly talk about "the final solution" to project issues on conference calls. We all just looked at our feet .... )
