We need more videos of this so we structurals and design engineers can understanding how it's done since we ain't doing these construction installations. helps us better in design.
I appreciate this comment if a lot more of you could see some of the sticky situations we get in with different mounting brackets and what not they could be improved by a lot
I love the safety climbs that are obstructed, the 6 step ladders in mid air and the arrays without any metal to stand on. Just stand on the angle iron. Let an engineer stand on something 3 inches wide for a couple of hours. Tower service people make about 1/2 of what they deserve. These folks are a motivated group for sure.
A cool trick for getting carabiners to the bottom is if you start whipping the rope side to side before letting one go, itll just ride the "waves" safely to the ground.
I did this type of work for years until my ankles made me quit. My main thing was radio repeater towers for public safety and commercial customers, some broadcast towers and a fair bit of cellular for AT&T wireless and Alltel wireless.
Nice chunk you took out of the antenna panel on the top left when you hit it on the bracket just below your feet. Someone will be up there replacing it once the weather gets into it!
Who taught you that tying off with a load strap is okay? Your free fall is insane not to mention they’re not rated to shock load. If you do ever fall with that you’re more than likely dead, if not really hurt. I’m also pretty sure they aren’t b30 rated.
How tall is your rooster head from the top of the antenna pipe to tip? We’re getting a lot of sites that are being upgraded and the radio/antenna combo is higher than the top of the tower. We have a rooster head, but I’m afraid it’s still too short.
@@money_mendez268 we’re just doing it the hard way still. Rigging on the tower and wrestling the radios over to the block. My supervisor refuses to talk about a new rooster head.
So what happens if you dropped those nuts and bolts, does that mean you have to go down and grab them and then go back up again? That's assuming if they can be found.
Dropping items is a big no no but we usually bring extra we are also never at a site alone so we would have a guy on the ground look for them and send them back up on a rope
You get paid hourly or by the job? More demanding towers hopefully pays better. What kind of risk is there with the amount of microwaves of electricity all around you?
Bro im from indonesia, im working at high to. Ericsson,nokia,huawe,zte i know all of them. Can i ask u about salary in your country? Howmach you get pay for job like this?
It's not a per day. It's a project that can take up between 2 weeks to a month. Depending on the job, site, and carrier. A month for me, is about 6-10 antennas/radios
@@emart343 Eric, I asked that question to compare the number of installations possible without any means of height access with the numbers of installations possible from a bucket truck. We send our buckets trucks (small ones are 90' feet, larger ones are 120', 150', 175', 230' or even 300', and we rent them with our operator and if needed full traffic management package) to follow a crew of 2 installers - they can install 5-10 antennas per week. Basically your answer means they can have 4-5 times productivity increase. That's good to know. Thanks Eric.
I’m working at ict company, and i can say how it looks by myself, actually I work on Ericsson radios, and Kathrein or Comscope antennas, I do about 4-5 sites per month, every site has 3 antennas, and 4-6 radios:) Working between 20-90 meters, my work is not only to mount the stuff, but also connect all of them. Important is how you make this work, if you are smart and have good equipment you can do it faster and easier 😉
very good record, this can help designer to understand how hard is to install antenna in the air, tower is not like on the ground, we need to design more for installation and make this convinient as much as possible, i'm with lots of concern when installer take off these nuts/ washer from bolt, what he need to do if these nuts falloff from hand, ...
I remember I used to do this for years doesn't pay enough to be in the position that you're in for hours and can't afford to make any mistakes so because of that I switched to the ROOFTOP'S CREW FOR THE SAME PAY PART OF ME FELT LIKE A PUSSY BUT I HAD NOTHING TO PROVE 😂😂😂
Can you elaborate? I’m contracted to do aerial/drone inspections and lately it’s all been T-Mobile anchor sites but I’ve yet to determine what that is referring to. I don’t need to know but like understanding the tech behind what I’m doing photogrammetry on.
No string on your tools is dangerous if dropped and someone is at the bottom of the tower (hopefully wearing a helmet) . It can be fatal and very dangerous. And believe me we have all dropped at least a screw nut in our field of work.
fearing of heights - trying not to faint the entire video
alot ways to make good money and this is it, try it you might make some 😉

@@fuder0muckerdid you quit your job?
Those radioheads are way bigger than what I was installing back in 2010. Well done dude! Stay safe up there.
Those are tri band antenna

I love the sling on the positioner, I have one just like that, I'll definitely add that sling to it now

Thank you for your great support!
Amaizing job!!!
Using the good old rooster head .. I do that for a living . love it
You have to trust your coworkers with a job like this.
Could you do another video on what all the parts on the cell tower are called and what their use is besides the aerial part.
Those look like Sprint radios.
TMO taking over all that 🙂
Nope it’s verizon
@@blackfacegaming191 AT&T in ALU/Nokia market, probably in Illinois
Good job 👍👌💪
That was badass dude, truly.

nice catch
It did take a knock on the way up but it didn't take a chunk out of it mate lol stop being dramatic haha!
Den chamba México tiene mucha experiencia de a madres !!! Saludos ing
Am doing exactly the same job in South Africa,🇿🇦💜💙🧡💚💜
great work , greetings
When you got bowling balls. Between electrical workers hanging from helicopters or cell towers I am not sure who is nuttier.
Nice job. I would like that you record how are you getting down
Ah, the good ole' days of carabiners
Indeed 🥲 now it’s all about shackles 😕
Good Work
Did you guys have to get an outage for that?
Seems like the headframe is crazy congested.
How will the tower be installed? We also have the land and how will it be connected with the company. Thanks for installing the tower!
Bruh I've always wanted to see this P.S I was here when this happened ;) LOL
Need a recommendation how to mount on a fixed roof pole two cellular units.
Nice
Sangat mengesankan sekali kawan, saya suka dengan video ini, salam persahabatan
Haha both of us went from MW2 days to Climbing days
your crazy!!!
Y'all rigged it with a Grillon? I can't tell if I love that or hate it.
Who taught you that tying off with a load strap is okay? Your free fall is insane not to mention they’re not rated to shock load. If you do ever fall with that you’re more than likely dead, if not really hurt. I’m also pretty sure they aren’t b30 rated.
You see all the no no’s too lol ?
ZZz, guess you didn't see the orange band on it that houses all the human rated certificates.
It'd be raining nuts and washers if that was me.
nice equipment..
Total work i understand. B.t.s installation.gsm antina and microwave installation and alinghment. I want job
How tall is your rooster head from the top of the antenna pipe to tip? We’re getting a lot of sites that are being upgraded and the radio/antenna combo is higher than the top of the tower. We have a rooster head, but I’m afraid it’s still too short.
How did you guys solve this problem?
@@money_mendez268 we’re just doing it the hard way still. Rigging on the tower and wrestling the radios over to the block. My supervisor refuses to talk about a new rooster head.
is it a 4G antenna?
alpha betta gamma sectors
How long would it take?

You yell HEADACHE AND THE BOYS WILL SEND UP SOME MORE
It must be hard to climb that tower with big balls!
Also is the 90degree anchor that your pulley mounts too removable?
yes
What do y'all do with electronic scrap
12 ports ? nice technique ,
How much do those antennas weigh? It appears to be lighter than I thought
About 50lbs. They're hollow on the inside, they're just big.
can range between 25kg to 100kg
Good 💪☝🏻

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
can you share with me the installation manual / instructions for this radio. This is for academic research purposes
how much it's weight?
we need you guys configure tower antenna video
Huawei or ZTE installation??
Have you noticed your back and forearm strength increasing after doing this job
Yes significantly..
How much does this type of job pay looks interesting?
depends where you are mid 20’s-30’s is average
How high is that?
Is this T-Mobile or Verizon?
What it yellow things... It grigri or what???
I would be dropping those bolts like no tomorrow.
I work over water and the bolts and nuts are tiny. You are deliberate and careful. Your brain tells the fingers “don’t screw up, don’t screw up!”
What knots are used to wrap the antenna
clove hitches
Should have let off as soon as your grillon was on, wouldn't of had to grunt to pull her up 😂
wp
Let me guess. TMobile?
I'd so drop one of those washers or nuts.
How many antennas do you guys install per day?
It's not a per day. It's a project that can take up between 2 weeks to a month. Depending on the job, site, and carrier. A month for me, is about 6-10 antennas/radios

Ikr. I do a lot of rooftops but towers occasionally. I get paid more then 30 an hour. And I go home to my kids every night
ATT? . I like TM more. way to easy. Anchor Sites. nice job,
I agree running hybrids is way easier

That's why you have drop zones.
@@HaggisMuncher-69-420 Yup, but drop zone shall not exclude the tethering of hand tools right?
How much does this pay ?
Starting between like 18-20 nowadays.
Good video
Need some job with you...am a rigger
Compani name
jesus i'd hate to make a mistake there and latch onto the wrong safety
Which pully is using for lifting,may i know the brand name and lifting capacity of the pully
Rock exotica it’s rated for 25 kn I believe
I would invest in a 4in1 so I can avoid having to take my grillon off for positioning antennas and radios
I just didn’t have enough head room with the gin pole need to bump it up like 3 inches until I could get the top bracket
@@johnkolby5120 I use it as an ascender when I have nothing to put my feet on It’s a lot less bulky and does the same thing as the rope grab versions
@@fuder0mucker you need chain hoist… i use it all the time when I’m hanging antenna and stuff by myself makes life easier
Many towers have no platform and too often no expense is allotted for crane. Add weather and height and job is dangerous and miserable!
If it weren't for these guys you wouldn't be texting anybody
Don’t take Sauls brother up there
Very nice free Video
How many Amps and volts go through those antennas? Don't get fried
Little or none, they're either shut off entirely or transmitters are put in a low power mode for safety if everyone is doing everything above board.
-48 volts
😂😂😂😂🥴 como que frito? gorro de aluminio en la cabeza tenías que ser ....
Just look at the height he is it gets me nervous
Need some job with you
Don't lose the nuts
I wanna do that. How do I begin?
What’s your center line ?
Why didn't you build it on ground and boom have crane send it up
Savin money
hi guys how are you
have you needed installar in tower worker/?
where i send my cv pls
Your spreader bar isn't on belt correctly lol. Always a critic huh? Lol be safe
