- Exceptional Engineering: Mega Cranes
Higher, stronger, more robust: Crane builders excel with superlatives. Loads are getting heavier and need to be lifted to hard-to-reach places. One of the big crane companies in this country is Knaack Krane in Hamburg. The company currently has about 60 different cranes, the largest of which can lift up to 750 tons. It takes a long way through planning and installation until the machine is used for the first time - the report accompanies the creation of a mega crane.

Some really great looking machines in this video. I have watched the smaller cranes being picked up by progressively larger cranes, several times. It is an extremely impressive demonstration. I think I remember one demonstration where the largest crane is lifting and holding a total of 4 cranes that are each one lifting a smaller crane, down the line. For a company to sponsor a demonstration like this, they would have super confidence in their engineers, designs, operators, riggers, materials, and assembled machines, when one weak point, or mistake could mean a monumental disaster.
Great comment as usual
I feel like when a documentary has to point out that it's free, it's actually an ad
I operate a Tadano 200t capacity crane almost daily. They are great machines. Part of what I do on my channel is to show the career of a crane operator from a unique perspective. Both from the operators seat and the behind the scenes. This is a great video. Thanks for making it. 🙂👍
Nah
On a job site in Kansas City i was keeping an eye on the sleepy looking Mexican running a crane an extension pole type crane, on a very windy day, the loads were swinging like crazy
@James Fox Well said some people think they have a easy job but far from it.
Thats so cool. How long have you been doing this
More Exceptional Engineering! This is the best series on youtube, by far
Thanks, Sam. Please stay tuned. There is more to come!
I agree, I love this series, keep 'em comin'!!!
@9:00 imagine writing some very “important software” and then naming it *Projekt Assistant**
For the men working on top of the wind turbine. My hats off. Can't be afraid of heights doing that job
holy crap dat soundtrack though. I heard Pirates of the Caribbean, The Matrix, and Command & Conquer!!!!!
Mission Impossible too!
The Dark Knight too
Con Air, and The Rock as well .
Man that C&C music brought me right to the comment section.
Didn't hear any C&C but I reckon you might ave been confusing it with Wake Up by Rage Against the Machine which was definitely being played around 43:00
This was fantastic. I didn't want it to end. Very well produced. I bet crane operators have their drinks paid for by the team.
Or the craneis get hated for having an easy job, IDK
@@lasvegassnowman5505 Its not a easy job though. Crane operators have a big responsibility making sure they lift safely. Its so easy to kill someone so you need maximum concetration at all times. Peoples lives are in your hands and if you have a bad accident and its your fault then off to prison you go for manslaugter if you kill someone. Easy job think again
@@davidm3maniac201 good comment and you are right I thought about easy as physical lifting goes not the psychology part of it.
@@lasvegassnowman5505 Thanks bro and stay safe
I like how he says operators are highly trained specialists. For the most part they are. I work in this industry and I have seen many of them that have no business running one of these machines. However there carelessnesse provides me a large pay check and endless work.
I'm betting your talking about non union small boom truck operators ,where im at all union operating engineers must have a CCO certification or crane operators license which eliminates all half assed operators quickly.
@@michaelledford4751 No our operators are Union. Our largest "truck Crane"( lol....It still takes i think it takes 13 trailers if maxed out with mega wing and Luffer) is a 600 ton demag. the smallest is a 30 terex. we have multiple crawlers like 2250s typically doing tilt wall and everything else like 222,888,999 ect. We are a legit company. And they keep me gainfully employed.
@@michaelledford4751 I also am CCO certified, but I'm not an operator. I just have a signal person and rigger level 3. I am a very busy welder in a business that makes me allot of money from operators and truck drivers. I am also certified from terex and American crane
@@redlew012 So your telling me that your company owns a 600 Ton Demag and your company doesn't have a dedicated operator for that rig whos highly skilled sober and safe ? Please don't tell me your using Day laborers from Operating Engineers unions to run even a 20 ton truck mount crane ,the only crane accident I've had on 1 of my sites was nearly 30 years ago & wasn't operator error,the main pin holding the boom to the turret sheered with a BANG ! and the boom collapsed ,we have dedicated operators responsible for their crane only & when it's not in use the operator is running SkyTrak or a roof top hydraulic Smith hoist crane,we never use unknown operators.
@@michaelledford4751 yes the operator for the demag is dedicated. Gets a pickup and all(he is a good Operator). The entire "Taxi" fleet has dedicated Operators. In not saying all you guys. I said some of these guys. You Are around the industry and you can tell me that you haven't seen a bad operator with a cco. Just like I've seen bad welders that are certified

At 20:10
Guy on the left: That's one of those moments when you say "WE'VE DONE IT!"
Guy on the right:
Interesting stuff. So-called cranes are pretty badass
I am thoroughly impressed with the demonstration at 10:49. They not only show the demonstrable abilities of the cranes but they do it with great flourish and showmanship.
My father who's retired now use to train instructors to train other people to drive these cranes in the UK and around the world. He was the instructors instructor. He worked on mobile cranes, Tower cranes, crawlers and gantry cranes respectively.
@Tsunauticus III wow i want to watch that
42:00 "The boom benfs like a giant banana" 🤣😂😂😂
That’s got to be the most constructive pirate I’ve ever seen.
you are a god for this comment.
Yessss😂
I just got what you were saying with the Pirates of the Caribbean theme music. I was looking for a guy with a patch but I would guess an eye patch and working a crane would not go well.
nice documentary on so called mega cranes!
lol, was 'so called' bugging me too. ;)
He sure does say "so called" a lot🤔. I thought only I noticed that. 😀😀
So annoying
The truth is, "They are pretty "dam" big"! The term "mega" usually does mean "big, "huge", "monstrous", (etc.etc.)
exceptional engineering and exceptional dedicated person there, great.
Operator here 👷♂️
Uú
I would commend the narrator for being calm and not being overly dramatic.
Always amazing to see Limits pushed.
Cranes definitely do a great job of doing this.
Cranes of the Caribbean: The Curse of Liebherr
I was wondering if someone caught that too.
also armageddon and con-air
@@willfishing5605 Good Catch, Will Fishing. You're casting out the big nets today.
Also Dark Knight. This is so ridiculously scored.
And some Batman too.
Heard the Pirates of the Caribbean theme and had to pause the video and check the comments. Sure enough, laughter ensued.
This is literally me right now...12 minutes 51 seconds in haha
Whoever decided to play rage against the machine in the background deserves an award.
I like this channel, thank you for these amazing documentary films!
Awesome crane...from Philippines..mabuhay!
I wanna watch this all night
They have to make video on how construction cranes are made from scratch.for all nations to build.
These guys are very professional. I watched a video on German pipe fitters, our 638 guys are extremely professional and do exceptional work, the Germans fitters are on another level. They do outstanding work.
Best series! keep it coming!
Обожаю гусеничные краны" и сам работаю на таком, правда далеко на старом.
Здесь же такие красавцы свежих годов, в современном сегменте, приятно созерцать.
"Nothing can ever be routine!"
Later
"... Its almost routine..."
Almost.
Noticed that too haha
Amazing work!
Im excited to see what crane will be for the Starship to place at the top of a Super Booster 😁😊
By the time you read this it will have been done once already😃
This makes me want to dig out my Legos and start building with them again.
How about Minecraft
Marcel Zatko I guess I’m showing my age here but I was born long before Minecraft was ever made. I also like more of the real hand ones feel and build of how Legos are. Where Minecraft is probably a amazing game for myself it’s harder to compare the job satisfaction of building something on a computer compared to having them physically right there. But that’s just me.
@@FirstNameLastName-js3ry No, I like having physical things too, although it is still somewhat satisfying to build cranes on the computer (See my RUclips channel) That is why I like it when companies have physical paper catalogs instead of online ones. I am actually building a Lego crawler crane! It is really tiny compared to even small crawler cranes, since it started out as a medium sized excavator, and it has been turned into a material handler right now, but I can easily switch it between material handler, crane, and excavator. I am sure I would really like having a diecast construction equipment model, but I have looked at the prices and the models cost about as much as the real cranes!
That computer simulation is amazing, i need that, i only do lifting plans and computation manually.
Your an ap

I was just about to say! 'No one noticed?!'
Incredible machines
damn! thats a big machine!
Dam that's huge
That's what she said
Fantastic film! Thanks!
OUTSTANDING INFO COMMENTARY. 🐢 👍 😀 🐢 👍 😀
Insane!!!!!
I’ve seen some of the cranes that do windmills crazy how big they’re when you stand next to one.

Awesome documentaries
CRAZY!!!
The assembly alone is a whole other job. 😄
7:00 "The so-called weather protection roof needs to be removed..."
this is what I'm into cause it's interesting and educational that's why I like it.
Fantastic!
Love that crane
My dad was one of 2 people licensed to inspect these on the west coast and I got to go see a bunch when I was a kid pretty awesome
Did he get a lot of heat from the crane makers.?
The crane seats look really comfortable don't they?
So many loads!
Fun documentary and glad the video image wasn't clickbait. These Liebherr engineers are really something. But I have to LOL at the imperial standard football pitch. Why not measure area by Keck telescope mirrors? Or by Dalek crop circles? Maybe use something we can all understand.
Amazing the way cranes are built. Very precision built from computer drafting to testing. I was a operating engineer crane operator in the 70s, 80s 90s and early 20s before retiring. Most operators started as crane oiters as apprentice to crane operators. All cranes in cab has a load chart but throughout years working every work site has its challenge and physics. The operator attitude, physical and experience must be in top shape. I wish they had something like this back than. But now cranes are bigger, heavier, and booms are higher can't see the job and. Amazing !!!!!
I am loving this series. I just wish the narrator knew the proper use of the term " so called".
haha I know right?
I just keep telling myself that it is the brand name. haha
Literally.
Its probably important that new operators learn, hands on, how to assemble their crane.
It's probably important that new drivers learn, hands on, how to assemble their car.
@kindoson Burns it's probably important that new users learn, hands-on, how to assemble their phones.
@@RefinedRags hmm not the same thing
Hattsoff to crane operators...

Everything is "straight" with a spirit level that short 😅
Makes no difference how long the level is so you make no sense.
I love the FLAT horizon !!
good video
Spelling the name of the documentrary wrong... in the documentary. Great quality.
*•* [Trusses] are sensitive to damage when loads are not applied at the anticipated joints. They are especially sensitive to loads on the middle of the bars;
*•* Trusses usually have little or no redundancy, so failure in one part can lead to total structure failure;

Like Lego's ? More like an Erector set ! So cool !
3:53 That was some camera work.
nice videos.
nice video

EXELLENT
Jeff Boat had these very large cranes that sat way up high. They rolled on rail road tracks and were used to build barges and tow boats. When I was a child mom would take me to the flood wall to watch them work. It's a fond memory. One day somehow one of the cranes, there were several got yanked over and crashed, killing the operator. I believe the load got to going down too fast and when the brake was applied it toppled the damn thing. It takes awhile to fall over from 100 ft high, it must have been a terrifying last few seconds of life. I don't believe I have the nerve to operate a crane, huge stuff gives me the willies.
505197. Do you still live in the Louisville area?
@@jasonstinson1767 Yes, across the river in New Albany. New Albany, the city that built the Robert E Lee.
Wow!
Yes please, i'll take 2 in Kelley red.
nice
Now watch mega crane fails so you can see how smart these operators really are. Hahahahaha
And when have you had responsibility like that. Fool, no guts no glory
@Larry Riffett Lmao
well like most things they very rarely fail, of the thousands of lifts if it goes wrong you'll most likely see it. most of the time it happens because of instable ground surface or weather. both can be hard to predict
*American Documentary*
Constant jump cuts
Unnecessary rock and techno
Constant threats of worst possible outcome
Pretty sure this was produced in Germany with English translation.
At 2:16, the title is misspelt as "Exeptional"
They nearly got "Engeneering" right, too 🤦♂️
Anyone else notice the Pirates of the Caribbean music in the background?
I thought I was hearing shit😂
And the call of the valkyrie.
Can't believe nobody is pointing out they misspelled engineering in the title segment @2:19
Damn...good catch. I'm a grammar/spelling Nazi and I didn't even catch that one!
Only about 20 people have pointed out so far. Cant believe you did not read the comments first
Precisely and spirit level. Two things I've never heard used in same sentence.... It's not as though a level with a bubble in the liquid is extremely precise. A laser level would be more precise.
Why the fuck are you going to use a laser level to measure angle? First off, a liquid level is always going to be the most accurate way, period, becuase you can't have a defective bubble. But you can have a defective digital level, like if the batteries were low. NOW...
regardless of what the narrator said, that level they were using had a digital angle meter integrated into it, so it wasn't just a bubble level. That level probably cost around $300 US dollars. So IDK how much better you want those guys to measure their shit? I think they know wtf they are doing, wouldn't you say?
Besides all that, a "laser level" doesn't use the laser to find the angle, there is circuitry inside the device that digitally measures gravity and turns it into a digital readout. The lasers are only used for shooting a beam across a wall or floor, like a chalk line would. The only thing they use lasers for measuring is distance, but it still needs something solid to bounce the beam off of to send it back.
Workers are only here to clean up parts, wall-e hold my beer
really hope Zimmer gets some money for this
No, Klaus Badelt!
East Freezeland... sounds like a nice place
When these cranes are out on jobs do they bring their own accompanying symphony orchestra to provide background music ?
"so-called"
It's also annoying when they keep saying "and again...", "so again...", "but again..."
American Naval Supercarriers are masterpieces of engineering as are the nuclear power plants that some of them have.
education is important especially in machines cause i deal with machines every day i take leaves up i cut grass done everything as far as working with machines is considerend so I'm in to this kind of work for real i'm into everything that deals with machines and working outside because it's good for me to be outside and around people who are intelligent and not small minded.
German engineering at it’s finest
Love all the random music. Pretty sure they were playing the Dark Knight theme at one point
Right off the bat, where are those cranes located??
It said Baden-Württemburg. Its a state in Germany.
Batman and the pirates of the Caribbean : Cranes edition
The intro is the theme of Germany Rising 4.0
Love the pirates of the Caribbean music lol
Dark Crane Rises
Lol
I thought this crane documentary would have more cranes in it.
