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.
The older 2G installations around here didn't even have their RRUs installed on the tower itself. They are obviously being phased out now, but since more bands are used often times (here B1+3+7+8+20+28+32), loads of RRUs or multi-band solutions are required.
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!
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.
I’m thinking about this career choice since I don’t love what I’m in college for and I want to leave my parents. Would you recommend this field to others? Why or why not?
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.
@sharonpersinger6162 Absolutely not! A 200lb person falling just 6" will hit with almost 10,000lbs of force. Not to mention load straps are not designed for shock loads only static. Do yourself a favor and just look up a load strap under a shock load.
@@codycaudill5086 maybe you should do your research. If im 200 lbs and fell 6 ft, are you telling me that If I were to fall on someone from that height, they would die due to the amount of force, let alone what would happen to me!? You are talking out of your ass
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.
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.
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, ...
@@hectorpalomar4533 I'm not sure what that means, are all antennas on the tower off or that worker is being exposed to massive radiation while working up there?
@@Torito1774 only the antennas that you are working on will be turned down. Every other antenna will be on sometimes they have different carriers so the service must stay on. And pay is not that good for workers
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 😂😂😂
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?
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.
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 😉
I love the sling on the positioner, I have one just like that, I'll definitely add that sling to it now

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

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!
Let’s see you climbe 150 - 2100 feet depending on the tower you gotta climb. And bust this shit out so perfect. While making shit all pay
Great work bud, stay safe up there.
This work is greatly appreciated 💯
Thank you for your great support!
You have to trust your coworkers with a job like this.
These brave men represent the true elite in our society. May God hold his protective hand over them!
Am doing exactly the same job in South Africa,🇿🇦💜💙🧡💚💜
Me worked sim this in iraq 😊
That was badass dude, truly.
When you got bowling balls. Between electrical workers hanging from helicopters or cell towers I am not sure who is nuttier.
Those look like Sprint radios.
TMO taking over all that 🙂

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.
Actually, along as those things are rated at a breaking strength of around 1500 lbs, which they Most likely are, he's good!

It must be hard to climb that tower with big balls!
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!
Sangat mengesankan sekali kawan, saya suka dengan video ini, salam persahabatan
great work , greetings
Hi dude, which country u work ? Which system u work?
can you share with me the installation manual / instructions for this radio. This is for academic research purposes
Nice job. I would like that you record how are you getting down
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!”
Total work i understand. B.t.s installation.gsm antina and microwave installation and alinghment. I want job
It'd be raining nuts and washers if that was me.
Amaizing job!!!
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.
Good video
What do y'all do with electronic scrap
Haha both of us went from MW2 days to Climbing days
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
is it a 4G antenna?
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.
That's why you have drop zones.
@@HaggisMuncher-69-420 Yup, but drop zone shall not exclude the tethering of hand tools right?

nice equipment..
Huawei or ZTE installation??
Good job 👍👌💪
I'm wondering, are all those antennas off while servicing one of them?
I have the same question
shut down per sector
@@hectorpalomar4533 I'm not sure what that means, are all antennas on the tower off or that worker is being exposed to massive radiation while working up there?
50% of the time the ones your working on are turned off but other antennas or dish are still on so just need to stay behind, above or below them 👍👍
@@Torito1774 only the antennas that you are working on will be turned down. Every other antenna will be on sometimes they have different carriers so the service must stay on. And pay is not that good for workers

Let me guess. TMobile?
how much it's weight?
What it yellow things... It grigri or what???
Y'all rigged it with a Grillon? I can't tell if I love that or hate it.
Have you noticed your back and forearm strength increasing after doing this job
Yes significantly..
we need you guys configure tower antenna video
How much does this pay ?
Starting between like 18-20 nowadays.
Good
I have 17 years of experience Telecom Power Technician.fiber security cameras Driver How much salary in telecom field?
Should have let off as soon as your grillon was on, wouldn't of had to grunt to pull her up 😂
I’m an engineer, and the tower climbers are brave or nuts. Not sure
Also is the 90degree anchor that your pulley mounts too removable?
yes
your crazy!!!
jesus i'd hate to make a mistake there and latch onto the wrong safety
Did you guys have to get an outage for that?
Seems like the headframe is crazy congested.
❤
Nice
ATT? . I like TM more. way to easy. Anchor Sites. nice job,
I agree running hybrids is way easier
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.
How long would it take?
What knots are used to wrap the antenna
clove hitches
How high is that?
Is this T-Mobile or Verizon?
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
If it weren't for these guys you wouldn't be texting anybody
I'd so drop one of those washers or nuts.
Many towers have no platform and too often no expense is allotted for crane. Add weather and height and job is dangerous and miserable!
Good 💪☝🏻
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

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 ....
I wanna do that. How do I begin?
Don't lose the nuts
Why didn't you build it on ground and boom have crane send it up
Savin money
