This is my favorite from the whole series. The music is perfect for the actions. I sometimes use it to fall asleep, because I've watched it so many times and I can picture it in my mind. The last score is claiming victory. Brilliant.
This was a really good video. Magnificent filming! Thanks for making and posting it. A lot of people commented negatively about the music, (although I didn't mind it). We all have the ability to reduce our output volume or mute it completely. I'm glad that there was no spoken commentary because this would have just been another run of the mill documentary. Those guys working at heights are very impressive. Thanks once again.
I assume dismantling it is this whole thing in reverse? Truly remarkable stuff. It would be fascinating to see a video of how the history of cranes evolved to these.
I have MAD RESPECT for these Men. My Dad was a Crane Operator for 34 years, and from the time I was 14, I got to help build his crane out, ALOT. On solid ground, it was a work out, but, these MEN, take this to an entirely different level. I have nothing but respect for you Men who go, UP, building out these Cranes. Sadly, I have an abject fear of going up, as I suffered a horrible 2o foot fall, that has me a wee skittish of going up. I do tip my Hat to all of you, who build out Tower Cranes, and Climb Steel.
Thank you to all involved in this video, from the folks who poured the concrete & rebar to the person(s) typing the letters in the editing, to the folks who put forth the money to make this video happen, to the people involved in the assembly of this unit. Me and my sons were completely silent while watching this, (they are never silent, LOL). Those large cranes are always neat and amazing to see while driving by or seeing them in the distant skyline. The amount of detail that has been captured in this particular video, was stressful, and yes, very enjoyable. I Think, that my two young boys had their first strings of emotions pulled on watching actually how long it takes many men to make this happen, while safety being paramount. I think this struck a nerve for them, to really appreciate (to the best of their young minds could allow), due fact that they had just spent the past 2 to 3 hours doing the lawn work before watching this tower crane assembly video , and me giving them a constant swift boot in their a$$es every 10 minutes to keep going and to get the lawn work done. While watching the video, I suppose, they where trying to relate to the amount of work that they were doing, and the amount of flawless work everybody in this video was doing? I proposed the idea, of busting out the LEGO's, as I am a avid fan of the greatest toy ever thought of, and they do enjoy LEGO bricks but, prefer to build and leave the kits assembled, which is 100% fine, but, I wanted to see what they would do, now that we watched this video. Myself as a child, whenever I seen a piece of equipment, I would study the daylights out of it, to the best of my tiny little mind's ability, and then hit the LEGO bricks or Erector/ Meccano/ Gilbert, etc. to see if I could build whatever it was I had seen and make as many of the functions work like the real unit. With out even mentioning the idea, "Hey guy's, lets see if we can build a tower crane!!", or "Lets see who can build the best tower crane!!" as kids typically would say and do... I didn't say a word, and they were already running their minds at 1000 MPH, on how they each were gonna this and gonna that... I had a really great day. Again, Thank you to all that were involved in making this video happen. So much happened today, because of this video, all three of us learned something, they learned things about cranes, and somewhat of a start to what a work ethic is (have to start somewhere) and I learned that my two boys, can be inspired, all on their own, based on imagination. Let alone, the quality time spent. What a great day. Drew
We have three different job sites with cranes that I see every day on my way to/from work and I have been wondering about the 'how". Now I know, mystery solved. Thanks!

Speechless. We lubbers take them for granted, but what dedication to get them up there , and, operating. Should wear a badge of recognition. Best Vid Clip seen to date. Construction Heroes.
i wounder if the guys assembling the crane, later work on the site on other things or a just there for the crane building. and if so: what are their wages?
As far as cancelling the lift, look at the flag on the building on the lower left. The flag is blowing straight across indicating high wind conditions. I am surprised that this was not highlighted! Great series! Keep them coming!
Did you notice the tower crane in the background too? That thing was not in use and you can see it spinning with the wind. The lifting arm was always pointing in the same direction as the wind was moving.

This is breathtaking😃I live in the Hudson Yard’s in Manhattan West a Brookfield Property and the second tower is going up 🛗 and you can drew the tower going up floor by floor exactly like you feed😀the different colors etc.😄
iron workers, erecting cranes these guys have balls of steel,if it wasen,t for them we would not have cities and condos like these hats off to all the construction workers god bless you all and stay safe keep on rocking
In my younger years as a crane operator, I had the chance to operate a Liebherr, one of the largest tower cranes I had ever seen. It was 280 feet in the air with a 300 ft boom. Huge cab with toilet. I can tell you, being that high and the way that machine swayed, it is not for the faint of heart. The tower was massive, at least twice the size of this one. Max pic on the end at 280 ft, 2 tons. I also operated it at night on a nuclear power construction job. Miss those days.
Omg, its amazing to hear you're story and about the other comments its obvious you had some expirience, nice from you to share this with the others, thx
Thanks Mohammed. It was an exciting time in my life and I was pretty young. Too old to climb now at 66. The company gave the operator overtime pay 30 minutes up and 30 minutes down just for climbing. Sounds like it would be easy but staight up 280 feet, you had to be in shape a little. Not for an old fat many like me now. lol
The tower I went up was much bigger than the one you see on this video. The tower legs here look about eight feet by eight feet. The tower I operated was at least twelve by twelve. It was a huge maching. Again, it had a restroom in back of the cab where this one probably has a bucket. JS Also I operated it at night as the job ran 24/7. Being up there at night was different. The job was well lit so you could see pretty well. You also had constant contact with the riggers by two way. The only thing I did not like was the solitaire. You don't make as may picks on night shift as day so a lot of time was spent doing nothing. Not allowed to go to sleep especially if you have personal in the man basket. Back then a man basket was made on the job as today they have to be made by lisenced manufactor and tested like crazy. I do miss that job and those days of being young with lots of energy. Thanks for listening to my story.
Jerry, you crane operators have bigger balls than most, but is that offset by gravity pulling them down and thus nullifying the effect? ps. you helped build your city - did you build your city on rock n roll?
hats off to all the crane operators around the world. (I couldnt do it!) You built these cities on rock and roll. btw i think cranes make me go "wow" more than the skyscrapers they build, theyre an amazing and audacious technology
Why do tears well up in my eyes? When I view the wonders, the marvels that man has made, I think of the wonders, the marvels- -including man, that God has Made!!!!!!

Great video and, the music is good too ! Too bad you couldn't get Dylan though ! LOL . I did this , erecting, dismantling & operating for 33 years ! Mostly operating. Loved every minute of it ! Thanks for the great video work !
In Nottingham where I live in the UK there are 5 high cranes 1 tower and 4 jib cranes one of them has an estimated (by me) 230foot high tower then the cab and boom. It looks over our magistrates court and train station. I admire the bravery of these engineers who do this. Plus seeing a giant crane sett against a blue sky makes you feel something awe inspiring inside to think this is just the beginning. Wait till the building starts for real. Thanks for sharing and teaching me something.
Will you please tell me how i could able to do this crane pilot job.... i have no fear about height but i like this type of job plz rply me how my dream will become true ... plz give me any idea
Great video. Those guys have balls of steel. Should be on a big wage. So did they just put an extendable arm on the other crane for extra reach? Can't know how it doesn't topple over.
The engineering for cranes is very impressive but plenty of them have come down. No goofing or guessing allowed. If you aren't running by the book then bad things can happen. I like working off tower cranes more, I guess just because I am used to them and the variables of stability are less. Tower cranes can come down too though. One of my best friends and crew members was in one that came down in the 80s. 300 feet if I remember correctly so he got killed. Back then we had the operators cab out near the end instead of attached to the mast. For better visibility for the operator but that is not allowed anymore in my area due to that accident. I am an old long-retired guy so we used to do lots of things that you would be jailed for today. Ironworkers seldom tied off unless it was something crazy. It's better these days. I am glad to see it
Hospital Construction : WOW ! But why are their faces blurred ? They should be proud to show off their identities.👍👏💪 P.S. I guess the Seagull wanted to check out what kind of new fangled nest these "strange" birds were building.
I've always wondered about this. Yeah, so it's basically 2 stages. 1. Portable crane builds the "base" 2. The crane builds itself, which is the most amazing part
Desde colombia. Logre ver todo el video de montaje. Mil felicitaciones a la compañia de gruas y a sus operarios. Eso es como de fantasia. Solo la altura me produce vertigo. Estos operarios ya estan operados sobre todo el que llego hasta la punta de la pluma. Yo a tan solo dos metros ya abria renunciado. Buen trabajo mis pupilos. 👍🇦🇲 vale.
До 15-ти минут смотрел с перемоткой через 1-2 минуты, а потом полностью. И всё интерес был что же это такое? Пока не подняли кабину. Работать на такой высоте, аж дух захватывает ! ! !
Once on site the crane was booked by the concrete workers for most of the day so we had to carry our gib sheets for the entire morning up the damn stairs four levels, we sure missed the crane that day.
I worked in construction for 50 years and I can’t ever to remember us using a tork wrench to righting large bolts which I think that was crazy ! Did snap a few bolts ! It should be mandatory to tork the bolts to specks for those bolts we used a wrench with a pipe extenching Crazy!
Go to playback settings and click on X2 or greater, much more interesting to watch that way. I enjoyed doing this type of work, it's a lot of fun when you're with a good group of guys.
It's amazing that so many things can be built... If I was the foreman I'd just throw my hands up and declare... It's too complicated. This can't be done. And I'd go home.
I ran a raisin' gang for three years in D.C. , working outa Local 5 . 1985 - 1988 . Worked four 10s , & a lot of five 10s . Weekends me and my two connectors worked w / the rigging side of our company on tower cranes . putting them up , taking 'em down , and just about anything W.E. & Mike Parker needed us to do . Men in this video , BAD TA DA BONE! . Guy who commented on erection being crane garbage well , I'm gonna' be kind. I do know that HE CANT SPELL IRONWORKER , and 30 years ago Ida knocked him out ; if I coulda found him .Those kind though , you couldn't find ANYWHERE . Deadeye 84
In about 1975 I helped assemble a smaller green Liebherr in New Zealand,then operated it for a while. I hated the way the whole assembly leaned forward when a heavy load was picked up and all I could se was rebar sticking up towards me. The slew control was pretty rough, very lumpy and the whole tower twisted away from the movement, got used to it but not nice. Sometime later it blew over during the night with wind gusts, I stuck with Hiabs from then on.
This is actually quite the gem of a video. There are NUMEROUS OSHA violations caught on tape here: Several times members of the A/D crew are not tied off. It also shows the men riding in what is clearly not an approved man basket. Not to mention that OSHA states that the hoisting of personnel is prohibited unless there is no less hazardous way of completing the task. (There is an enclosed safety ladder built into the crane itself that these guys were too lazy to climb.) The basket itself is attached to the load block with a standard, spring latch hook which is also not allowed. At the 19:41 mark, one of the workers actually straddles the railing on the basket to torque the nuts on the cab assembly. A safety guy could make an entire career off of this one video. Amateur hour all the way.
Just awesome to watch wonderful photography and a art -form in itself ,the guys are so incredible i watch these cranes whenever i can i wonder how the balancing is achieved ? so enjoyable .Thanks
спасибо за отличный ролик !!! я все 33 минуты просмотра завидовал сам себе !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Завидовал потому что работа у меня совсем не связана с высотой и риском а творческая и приятная ...... я ландшафтный дизайнер .......
I would love to see a video on the addition of an extra crane segment to increase the height on very tall tower cranes , I tried to film this at the Limassol One Tower but you cant tell when they will extend , I believe they have a special segment on the tower to allow this ...Great video thanks !!
There are some videos about that on this channel. For example: ruclips.net/video/X8PyU3USy98/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/Hv4JyPIPWy0/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/JCYpRnW7Ee8/видео.html

Great video. Those guys have balls of steel. Should be on a big wage. So did they just put an extendable arm on the other crane for extra reach? Can't know how it doesn't topple over.
OK, if it stays nearly vertical. It is load at a large angle which does harm.
You should see how long that "extendable arm" can actually get.
The engineering for cranes is very impressive but plenty of them have come down. No goofing or guessing allowed. If you aren't running by the book then bad things can happen.

pekerjaan yg profesional. smua di krjakan prosedur dan tetap mengutamakan keselamatan. kalian pekerja yang hebat💪💪💪👍👍👍👍
I worked in construction for 50 years and I can’t ever to remember us using a tork wrench to righting large bolts which I think that was crazy ! Did snap a few bolts ! It should be mandatory to tork the bolts to specks for those bolts we used a wrench with a pipe extenching Crazy!
No wonder these guys get paid the big bucks! No way I would do it, that's for sure!!
Excellent video! Now I know how the cranes are constructed! Wow!
ye
Go to playback settings and click on X2 or greater, much more interesting to watch that way. I enjoyed doing this type of work, it's a lot of fun when you're with a good group of guys.
Nice Video, Thank's. 💥✅👍😎
You're welcome!
Had breakfast a Burger King and now here I am 🤷🏻♀️ alrighty then. Awesome video! I heard it takes 2 weeks for installing and take down.
Hats off to the courage people behind the work.

That was very cool. Thanks for sharing.
Great shot of the tower crane at mob a cross the street
great job, expertise skills
It's amazing that so many things can be built... If I was the foreman I'd just throw my hands up and declare... It's too complicated. This can't be done. And I'd go home.
cool timelapse.
I like this a lot i love watching construction videos
Bravo messieurs et bon courage , vous êtes super
At last I have learned how they do it. Thanks a lot.
I ran a raisin' gang for three years in D.C. , working outa Local 5 . 1985 - 1988 . Worked four 10s , & a lot of five 10s . Weekends me and my two connectors worked w / the rigging side of our company on tower cranes . putting them up , taking 'em down , and just about anything W.E. & Mike Parker needed us to do . Men in this video , BAD TA DA BONE! . Guy who commented on erection being crane garbage well , I'm gonna' be kind. I do know that HE CANT SPELL IRONWORKER , and 30 years ago Ida knocked him out ; if I coulda found him .Those kind though , you couldn't find ANYWHERE . Deadeye 84
In about 1975 I helped assemble a smaller green Liebherr in New Zealand,then operated it for a while. I hated the way the whole assembly leaned forward when a heavy load was picked up and all I could se was rebar sticking up towards me. The slew control was pretty rough, very lumpy and the whole tower twisted away from the movement, got used to it but not nice. Sometime later it blew over during the night with wind gusts, I stuck with Hiabs from then on.
This is actually quite the gem of a video. There are NUMEROUS OSHA violations caught on tape here: Several times members of the A/D crew are not tied off. It also shows the men riding in what is clearly not an approved man basket. Not to mention that OSHA states that the hoisting of personnel is prohibited unless there is no less hazardous way of completing the task. (There is an enclosed safety ladder built into the crane itself that these guys were too lazy to climb.) The basket itself is attached to the load block with a standard, spring latch hook which is also not allowed. At the 19:41 mark, one of the workers actually straddles the railing on the basket to torque the nuts on the cab assembly. A safety guy could make an entire career off of this one video. Amateur hour all the way.
OSHA is for idiots.
time lapse photograpy so cool
cool stuff i got also some nice videos
Best greets from vienna and keep going
Very impressive and useful
Congratulations for the great work and professionalism of the team, risky service but it was very well executed...👍👌🇧🇷👨🔧
I guess red sweatshirt at 11:19 doesnt need a safety harness. Must be a boss.
Just awesome to watch wonderful photography and a art -form in itself ,the guys are so incredible i watch these cranes whenever i can i wonder how the balancing is achieved ? so enjoyable .Thanks
your welcome
The junction of those last rows with those tiny bolts was a insult
heared of titanium bolts b4?
The music is horrible but in the end I learned a lot! Thanks!
I ❤️ this job
I've done this job,🐯🇲🇾
Well done; very interesting!
спасибо за отличный ролик !!! я все 33 минуты просмотра завидовал сам себе !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Завидовал потому что работа у меня совсем не связана с высотой и риском а творческая и приятная ...... я ландшафтный дизайнер .......
As a New Yorker I always wondered how they did that
My hat off to them, I lose my mind cleaning my gutters out.Company computer, no sound, so I guess I'm blessed.
Good job faheem from karachi
I would love to see a video on the addition of an extra crane segment to increase the height on very tall tower cranes , I tried to film this at the Limassol One Tower but you cant tell when they will extend , I believe they have a special segment on the tower to allow this ...Great video thanks !!
There are some videos about that on this channel. For example: ruclips.net/video/X8PyU3USy98/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/Hv4JyPIPWy0/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/JCYpRnW7Ee8/видео.html
