FINALLY! I had no freaking clue how they got into the weird places they did. Figured the worlds largest helicopter snuck them in and flew them away when no one was looking.
@@veotic2728 I wasn't disputing that. What I was refering to is the fact that 99 percent of all the engineering inventions of the modern era were made by white men, which is a surprising discovery considering white men are such a small minority (about 5 percent of the world population). These inventions include cranes, rockets allowing us to space travel, electricity (not the natural phenomenon itself rather tools to use it for our daily lives such as power plants, lightbulbs etc.), computers, the internet, mobile phones, cameras, airplanes, radars, cars and many many more.

I've always viewed cranes as a chicken or the egg scenario. I always wondered, "If cranes are built by cranes, how was the first crane built?" I never knew cranes were actually built by themselves.
Notice how the whole crane moves when the section gets closer to the operator's cab. I can only imagine what the operator feels like when it gets really windy...
Fantastic! Always wanted to know how these things got erected. It's been one of these things I've meant to look up for years but just never remembered to.
I worked on plenty of high rises and worked with many, many crane operators. I know some of the ironworkers like to complain about the operators, but from my experience, I have always found them to be very professional, highly skilled and easy to work with. They don't let just anyone on that equipment! Operators at this level have to go through a lot of training; or at least that is the way it usually is with the unions.
I watched this process from a high-rise next to the self building crane and I have to say the one guy I had balls of steel . They had trouble putting in one of the holding pins and he was hanging by his leg beating in the PIN. It's amazing operation to see especially that close up
Awesome...I can finally sleep at night as this video answered a lifelong question for me...seriously. It really bugged me trying to figure it out. Thanks.
Love my career!... A climber is a great invention... The last mass attached we use our test block... Great footage,great2bee apart of hoisting and rigging :)
I always wondered about how they built themselves. I often see two tower cranes side by side and thought they might build each other. I wonder how High they can go?
finally, now my brain is completed.

I thought they just appeared
SAME THO
@@michaelwashington2682 This is year rotations. 8y ago 5y ago then 3y and now, NOW
What came first? The crane, or the crane?
Dr. Krane...........
Sauce Goblin the crane you dumbass
Shrek, you are correct, the crane came before The crane
Mr Derpy Waffle yup thank you
@Rj no, that’s incorrect. I believe the crane came first.
wait a second... to build a crane you need a crane... There is a master crane somewhere
Ryan Who built the master crane
That crane was self assembling....
To build a crane you need machines.
@@northzero2390 then who made the machines? More machines or humans? If humans, who made humans?
@@tiffanya5368 the first cranes was made by god , :)
The question that has plagued man since the dawn of time... now I finally know!
me too been puzzled by this.
Dude I have been wondering that for years now I got the thought to google it
The question that has plagued me is how they would get the crane down from a 500m skyscraper, especially one that has embedded into the building.
ric4397 Same way they got it up, just in reverse. lift up from section, pull it out and lower it. remove attachments to building as needed.
Me too 😂😂😂
D'aww, they grow up so fast. So cute when they're little.
haha
Now I can die in peace.
nah but are you dead tho?
Responding in their place: yes
Amazing what man can engineer.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who wondered how in the world they got built.
bro me 2
The greatest question of all times, now finally solved.
My spirit may now rest. Thank you.

faxxxxxx

+hanshen wang At least in the US, cranes shut down when winds reach 30 MPH. I have been on jobs that have been shut down because of high winds.
iw63boomer shit we don’t get told to go home till 40-45
I'd shit myself just climbing up.
NO THANK YOU!!! Lol 😲
Now my life is complete, I can die in peace now...
0:26 you see how the crane moves like that, my heart would stop
Fantastic! Always wanted to know how these things got erected. It's been one of these things I've meant to look up for years but just never remembered to.
do u wanna know how mines get erected??
Same here, if I hadn't made a note of it on the smartphone, would have been doomed to never search it. Very satisfying isn't it? Learning can be fun.
YES this was my most unanswered question when I was a kid and I can't tell u just how satisfied I am lol
Very Cool!!*****Duke
ok
ok
Im here from tik tack
no. just no.
Wow i have been thinking about this for a couple of times. Thanks for sharing!
This mystery had been driving me crazy for a while. Thank you for this
GENIUS. This has been doing my head in. Cheers.
i dont know how much crane operators are paid, but for the amount of stress they must go through i have a feeling it's probably not enough!
they get played well
100k per year
Alot of operator get paid from 17 to 32 dollar an hour.

good video bud!! the 550 are awsome cranes!!
thanks for posting this!
When it shakes I'm like uhh no thanks.
@@memsohot same they go up. Taking out piece by piece
Such an up'lifting' experience knowing how it's done! 👍😊
nice vid, it´s clear to me now how they get taller, thanks for posting it

OSHA certified moment
I've always been curious about these cranes since there are lots of constructions going on in my place. Finally my questions have been answered :P
Awesome...I can finally sleep at night as this video answered a lifelong question for me...seriously. It really bugged me trying to figure it out. Thanks.
Love my career!... A climber is a great invention... The last mass attached we use our test block... Great footage,great2bee apart of hoisting and rigging :)
Iew that gives me the shivers looking at that.. Respect to the guys operating the thing.. Nerves of steel!
I never even thought about that. Super cool
This is the most informative video I have seen on youtube in months.
This is awesome!!!!!!!
Been thinking about this for so many years and now I finally know
I have been waiting my whole life for this. I can live in peace now.
I also wondered how cranes that build high-rise buildings get built! I know now, thank you so much!
Those cranes are engineering marvels, but it gives me the willies looking at them and wondering how they don't just fall over.
I could sit here a million years and never figure this out. Awesome video.
this was always the biggest secret of the universe for me
Great work !
That's amazing!
That's really cool! Those men have some serious balls being up that high.
Finally an answer to my questions! Thnx for the post. Actually i should have known it's a system like that... :-)
Straight up amazing.
thank u for sharing! i have always been asking myself and couldn't come out with an answer!
I have a lot of respect for these guys it takes a lot of courage
after all these years i finally know. thank you youtube.
Real video rather than just animation... YES!!!!
Excellent video, another of life's many mysteries solved...
I love cranes!
that's friggen' awesome!
i never knew this! i've been wondering this for myself for years now!
That’s pretty cool
amazing!
I saw one of these going up today and couldn't figure out how it's done. This video filled in the pieces.
good video bud!!
Oh I see! That's always raised a lot of questions for me.
This is awesome 🎉❤️
that is too cool!
Ingenious I’ve never seen it live and always wondered. that’s very cool
Finally! Everytime i drive by one of these im all "how dafuq that get up there?!"
I now can die in peace knowing how crains are built
Finally, my questions have been answered! It always bugs me not know how they construct cranes on top of the buildings.
Thank you for answering this most important question. I now know.
great video
Always wondered how they did this. Ingenious.
That's nuts.
They don't need mobile crane for this. Absolutely stunning
needs more house music
Now I know how Crain's go up
boy this is good
Since the dawn of time, man has pondered questions such as the meaning of life, and...
How the hell are tower cranes erected?!!!!
Cool!
Finally my brain can rest now
Beautiful structures
When the hook fell, my heart dropped a little
They be like “ hold on bro before i build you i gotta put my body together rq”
thanks... this has puzzled me for a long time.
The crane became self aware.
great post,,always wondered how it was done
I always thought they used two cranes and tilted the boom up... but this makes more sense!
Omg this is so badass
Search for climbing crane on TH-cam. You will like it 🤙🏼
Might have to upgrade our bamboo scaffolding to this.
this is good
Great. :)
I always thought they do some midnight magic and end up with a crane in the morning.
Good lord that's bad ass
I always wondered about how they built themselves. I often see two tower cranes side by side and thought they might build each other. I wonder how High they can go?
The scariest thing about these cranes is that the taller they are, the more unstable they become. And they have to be precisely balanced.
Wonderful
It's not a bad gig until the operator falls asleep and it almost falls over
The way the crane rocks back when it moves scares me
so that how it builds, i've always wanted to see
Thats how they transport those huge things and put them together!
Nice
I always wondered...
So this is how cranes are put up! I finally I know
