Clamshell ops for a two rope rig. Instead of dredging in using a clamshell to place material in a tight location with no access at a reach of over 100'. It simply can't be done any other way.

Dam good job 🫡
Keep posting the knowledge thank u 🙏
Always sketchy breaking over a crane I like the way he let u know when comin down with a little turn with the break over 🫡 skills
Thank you! Really crucial info you have shared.
Hello, my dear brother. I work as a drilling machine driver. Can you help me find a job, please?
That's a big far follow from me
When you say you have to wiggle it side to side because of the friction on the pads, what exactly does that mean? Are you saying that the track is stalling???
Its fun when running a dragline and you are at the edge of your limits and you get the bucket up and out of the cut and swinging and feel it get lite in the behind then set back down over the corner. Makes ya ease up on that next bucket a little, reminds you your getting a little greedy with those buckets lol
Very interesting video I'm a dirt operator on a project a MCL650 just flipped over on. I've always been interested in crane operations, but I've never had any idea how the track site to site navigating slopes
I’m not a jerk 😂 I love helping ppl out whenever I can. It makes me feel good inside as a person 😊
absolutely correct the manufactures will not tell you this info nor traveling having to swing with jib out on an rt machine it takes seat time to know this info. i've never though to do videos like this showing the younger guys things they already know 😂 well explained
YOU OBVIOUSLY GOT THE WRONG CRANE FOR THE JOB… SO YOU SHOULD GET THE PROPER CRANE N START THIS VIDEO OVER.
A couple of things about this job, there is no other crane. I'm a one man operation and this is the only crawler crane I have. This is a construction job not a dredging job, that's why I'm using a construction crane. I only use the clamshell for rehandling material not digging that's why I'm using a smooth jaw and not a toothed bucket. This job is 12 miles from my house, I've been here 9 years and the big boss says I can stay until I retire so this is exactly the correct crane.
@@cameronturner7475 … YOU GOT ER PONTIAC… NINE YEARS AND COUNTING, TALK ABOUT JOB SECURITY… NICE. LOOKIN FORWARD TO UR NEXT VIDEO. 👍🖖
I CALL THAT A GUMBUCKET
Great video Sir, a challenge environment for the crawler crane for sure, thanks.
Interesting look at the manuals. Are the crane manufacturers putting their new manuals online?
I don't know if they are on line. I know for the cranes we have the manuals are on disc and we usually print them. They are very expensive so they don't give them away.
@@cameronturner7475 Thanks. Take care and keep up the great content with your channel. Be safe.
Thank you for share your knowledge Sir.
Awesome job! Bigger set of boys than I'll ever have..
Physics 101
Now try that with clutches and brakes! lol… My dad was a crane operator from the late 50s to around 2005… I saw some stuff that’d pucker your B side. He did jettys and revetments up and down the New England coast with most of his work done on the Cape and Islands. Small cranes, big cranes, truck cranes, crawler cranes… hydraulic or old school brakes and clutches, telescopic or lattice… he was a legend. ❤
Tagline reel you mention is called a rheumatic
Wasn’t it called a Rud-o-matic automatic tag line, as manufactured by the McCaffrey Ruddock company
I accept your correction when I was breaking in on old machinery, they never gave me the proper definition or spelling🤓
@@Clyde6frame My apologies - no criticism intended - I just thought that you were another unwitting victim of spell-check ! It gets me all the time . . . !
@@steveallarton98 totally understandable if I knew how to spell I would’ve been a grammar school teacher instead of became a crane operator
I like when they tell you to carry the load when you can’t see it. 🤦♂️ Give me one function at a time please!?! You can get a feel for how much you’re carrying but it’s usually still kinda iffy. And I’m not a big fan of using my phone and Bluetooth when I’m in the blind because it seems like there is a delay
Yeah, boom down and hold the load is a pain when you can't see the becket. I try counting the clicks but that doesn't tell you how fast the boom is moving. And I agree that there's some lag on the phone system. I usually carry two or more radios but that's the radio guy in me.
Do you have any experience/insight on operating crawler cranes on a barge? What are the similarities and differences with cranes on land, etc..? Given the cranes arriving at the Key Bridge I think it would be a very cool video to do right about now. Thanks for your great information!!
Unfortunately no. Or maybe fortunately no, I've never ran on a barge. I do know that those ops can be pretty complicated. I've read some barge charts for the Manitowocs that I've run and I do know they often have auto ballasting on most barges. The cranes do have to be chained down with enough chains to hold the capacity of the crane and also have brackets that hold the crane in place. The next time I get down to the gulf I'll see if I can make a video. Thanks.
I operated scrapyard cranes back when we used a hand crank to start it. Finally moved up to electric start. Only one guage and that was oil pressure. My crane sat on a pad on an incline above the trailer. I’m the winter, the crane would start sliding towards the trailer. I’d have to take it out of swing and put it in travel to get back on the pad. I never was able to operate a crane such as this. I wonder, would you be able to operate the junk I had to? No heat, no ac, no fan, no door(blanket sometimes) plexiglass front window, that you had to take out in the early morning, because the glass was yellowed, no gauges, hand tools to fix what broke. Back when Stanley Thermos was made in the USA. (Actually am jealous that I never got a chance to operate a crane like this)
I never ran old cranes but I did run a lot of old dozers. Manual transmissions, clutch and brake steering, pony motors for starting, open station,( I still have the old sleeping bag I used in the winter ) and I've always done all my own mechanic work even on this machine. Everything from rebuilding track frames, engines, pumps, gear boxes, hydraulic cylinders, even boom extension cylinders on hydraulic cranes.
Very interesting!
Listening to you knowledges the fact that you know exactly what your doing. The reason the factory suggests one to not do what your doing is that most operators don’t have the experience you do!!!
This is certainly part of the reason telecrawlers are so popular i would bet
1st...........
i learned something...thanks for sharing,looked foreward to more shows,thanks again
good job bud,new subsriber here,greetings from North Carolina
I don’t know about cranes. But I do happen to know that manufactures of excavators tell you to always keep your final drives uphill. It is very hard on them to work on or travers slopes with the finals downhill. For one, they are a lot heavier than the idlers and when you’re on a slope like that all of your weight is on the downhill edge of the tracks. Those final drives are not built to carry the weight of the machine.
This is a direct quote from the manual for a cat 320e page 35 para 2. When possible operate the machine up slopes and down slopes with the final drive sprockets facing down the slope.
Read the manual. A lot of times what you've been told and accept as true is in fact the exact opposite.
@@cameronturner7475 Yep! I like to keep and slack, up on top where all it needs to do is carry the unused portion of track back to the front where it is put back into use and becomes stretched out tight (in a straight line) on its way back to the drive sprocket. In a crawler crane, I always walk forward up a slope and walk it backwards down a slope. Dipping gravel, I always keep the traction motors or drive sprockets toward the water hole and idler tumblers behind me. Just my preference, I don’t care about the drives weighing more. If you’re worried about that then get a bigger machine.
We have a small mining operation and we use Cat 320,330,336,340,349,375,390 and 394 excavators and Komatsu 200 and 650 excavators and all the manuals say the same thing, keep your finals down slope.
@@cameronturner7475 Yep! After utilizing this procedure for many years, I can’t imagine the ride one could get if he were to put the idlers out front, walking down a slope, and were to blow a hydraulic grease track tensioner seal? Those usually don’t give warning when they blow out.
Turn the house around and back down?
Love all this information!!! Thank you.
Our 110t manitowoc has a separate load chart calling for 100ft of main and even wants us to remove the car body weights. We are currently setup full weights at 80ft with a 12klb clam digging coral in Miami.
Amazing video. So is the under carriage the same as an excavator like interchangeable parts? Or is this unique from the bottom up? Thank you!
Is it just me, or do the landing pads for the ROPS look pretty sketchy....?😳
Damn, do you even need to wear cloths with all that fur? Lol, jk. Very interesting video.
If you go to fast you will put a counter load in your shorts
Without a doubt you know what you’re doing but I am almost 100% sure I’ve read a manual for slopes that steep. I think it was a terex/American H/C 110. I know one thing if a manufacturer doesn’t recommend anything over 2 percent I’m not taking it down there and the company better rent a lift for maintenance.
What if you would have had boom at uphill side and you would have lowered it a lot, then you would not have tipped over? Would that be safe?
The danger would be tipping over backwards because there is far more counter weight than there is boom weight. Every manual that I've seen with instructions for slopes says counter weight should be uphill. When you take your license test the answer also is counter weights up hill. When you have your weights up hill it allows you to monitor your capacity because as you increase your slope your capacity decreases. This allows you to raise your boom to keep an acceptable capacity. I know a lot of excavator operators like to go up hill with the boom extended but if you do tip backwards you can't stop yourself so even on an excavator you should go with your weight up hill.
@@cameronturner7475 bigger counterweight makes sense. First I read and understood that you meant "tipping over backwards" would mean to uphill side, but then understood that you mean tipping over backwards to downhill side where the counterweight would be. So even with whole boom wide angle adjustment, it would not be enough to fight against the big counterweight at downhill side. That makes sense. I have an excavator and sometimes there is a need to climb over a pile or go across steep slopes. Understanding these cases and the most safe way to operate the machine is a big deal. Even your note about which side the sproket should be. Also, volvo says that it wears 30% more if you drive sproket at front side on flat surface. These are not obvious small details. Thank you for replaying.
Awesome thank you!!! Where is this at?
Why don’t you back down the damn slope I mean a little common sense goes a ways !
Does that terrible ( so sorry) you had that window crack. But my question is does that get in your vision.
Great job explaining the operation of a Clam bucket 😊 very great points about free fall control in a crane 😊 I was looking in my old Bucyrus Erie 30-H excavator owners manual. I collect lots of 60s & 70s series manual for those early Hydraulic Hoes. I own a 1978 Dynahoe 190. I just took off one of my front bucket Hydraulic rams. It leaking BAD. Very heavy The backhoe Wt. Is 19000 pounds. You talked about ( SANY) switching the swing control to Left side. On the 30-H Bucyrus It to was on left side. The big lever coming out of floor, was push it forward and back for swing. The top of the two levers have an AIR control pull up or down, for dipper & bucket. One pedal on floor was for power up boom speed out of ditch. Or it could be used for dipper and bucket more hydraulic power. There was a lever between the two foot pedal for power diversion for dipper ( pushing a pipe together or craning a load with dipper) again your explanation is A+ my crane operator friend 😊😊😊
Ncco test?
Practicing for LBC.
Working on barges fun . Boom up up I ran Link belt 238 pure friction no hylabs
Nice practical explanation of the stability theory. Thank you for the insight.
The Boom angle and load capacity were really key to knowing how to handle this situation, that and going REAL SLOW like you showed lol 😂. Excellent tutorial 👍
Thanks for a great video about something I'll never need to know but was seriously interesting to find out. YT is wonderful for seeing others lives and skills.
One question I have is ( SANY) a affordable crane. My time goes back to ( UNIT& Hein Warner) Excavator from the 1970s. The owners use to tell me or call them poor mans machine. Because they were affordable to a smaller contractor. My time working alongside was small mainline sewer jobs. I always was amazed at operators using there feet for Dipper & tool functions. That tells you my age, and when I started doing sewer work I mostly ran a CASE 580-C digging side sewer stubs. 😊
I've never looked into the prices but I'm sure Sany would be cheaper than most brands. As a kid back in the late 70s, I started working for my step dad doing residential sewer and water services. He owned his own business until he died and my step brother now owns it. We're ran International 3500s switched to Fords and now he runs Cat.
I hear you, bro. Spent time on bucyrus, warner swasey, koehring, etc. I hated sewer/water main work. Luckily most of career on cranes. Retired with the liability portion off my shoulder. Loving it! Blessed day
That jump off showing the track slip 😊snd talking about Damage that can happen to Final Drive😊 "O" so important Show and especially telling from side of Crane. 😊😊😊😊😊😊
