Interesting because it looked as if they didn't show the piles being driven and they didn't show any anchors bolting the derrick base footings to the piles; it looked as if they were just depending on the shear strength of the footing concrete to prevent pullout.

There are also self climbers. These are towers with a special base to the cab. The cab climbs one frame at a time and the tower lifts another section in and it is secured. Then the tower climbs the newly added frame. This is how they erect cranes beyond the reach of a land based mobile crane.
Thanks for the information. I can't quite visualize how a cab can detach itself, get out of the way enough to add a section, and then climb atop a new section. If by chance you see a video showing a 'self climber', please post it.
They used to self erect (still do sometimes) but using a mobile crane to do it is quicker/cheaper. The reason for not just using mobile cranes in the first place is that they have a bigger footprint and are more expensive to have on site for extended periods.
I absolutely love this video. I've always wondered how one of these cranes are erected, now I know. I find this type of crane, and ones used a shipping ports so fascinating. I'd love to be a crane operator also. However, I'm fully retired now and dont work at all , and too old to change professions. However, I am an electrical engineer that just started designing things based on the Arduino micro-controller. This little computer can control stepper motors controlled by a joystick. I plan on making a scale model of both types of cranes, maybe 5 to 8 foot tall, then have the steppers move whatever moves, under my control with the joystick. I plan on putting in a colored camera for the view as if I am at the top as the operator. All needs to be functionally equivalent to the real thing. Then on the ground little model shipping containers, and other objects. This all will be the ultimate virtual reality game, even better than any computer based virtual reality game! As a kid I was always a huge fan of cranes, so awesome. I would spend hours just sitting there watching them. I even had permission from the port to go to the dock and be able to watch in person, and really close. I just wonder now why I didn't become a crane operator. I guess we really cant always tell what life is going to throw at us! Anyhow, I will be doing these two projects. I may be old, but I still love toys... and if the dog gets too close, I will lift him up and move him also... I like to pick up things and put them back down, as Arnold said on Saturday Night Live... but not the body building thing! Once I do the projects I will do a video and post it here. I'm gathering up all supplies I need to do them with...
Everything is right except the beginning they have to make sure the base of the crane is level down to the last 16th of an inch or else in the cabin of the crane it will lean a bit I learned this on my second crane and it gets annoying the higher they work because the more jeans which isn’t scary its just just a pain climbing it sometimes
Fantastic! I am a retired Marine Engineer and I discovered Arduinos when I wanted to control lights for my band (I play lead guitar) with DMX. I figured out how to get the MIDI signal from the drummer's Roland E-kit to control the lights. Ha! - Now I'm in a duo - guitar and vocals - no bass or drums so I use a laptop to playback audio backing tracks and MIDI tracks to control the light show - awesome!
I once worked as a tile setter inside a high rise building that used a "T crane" similar to the one in this video (the site also used a "buck-hoist" crane). I asked the building supervisor how much a crane like these cost. He told me: about $10,000.00 for the crane and $5,000.00 for street use ... per week. Now I understand why. I also went to "ground" near under the crane during its removal ... watching the removal crane and those guys up on the T-crane was something to see.
They do go over, i was working on the whitleys department store in Bays water London back in about 1986 when a crane fell over during testing ,one guy fell off the jib and the crane driver died, its very surreal watching an object that big fall over, the noise is incredible.
Your comment is a valuable contribution. Nobody should die or be injured when a reasonable amount of prudence can prevent it. The paperwork puts engineers and inspectors on the spot to make sure it's right. Insurance companies prefer to keep premiums paid. It's a system of checks and balances that protects lives and profits.
Holding people responsible while doing dangerous work is critical. Might have prevented a bad accident here in Seattle while two men were taking down a tower crane.
wellll i guess it is just the job nature of steel fixer (as long as it is safe).... and they are paid for it (the high salary could justisfy the hardship) yet, i saw some fixing rebar in a much worse environmonet
@@030bananaHe was joking,as if the person fixing the rebar was buried with the concrete as he couldn't get out .Since we was fixing the rebar from the inside.
Fantastic video! Cheers to all who participated in the decision to make and produce such a high quality and detailed video. The only thing missing was the smell of dirt and poured concrete.
That little sheepsfoot compacter can get into places that larger machines cannot. the lack of an operator means that it can be lower and go to places that would be too dangerous for a human.
epistte ohhh ok, thank you so much for the explanation! they're truly amazing, i imagine the workers must day dream of driving them around for fun the way THEY want lol
Forest products grown for paper products are a crop. It is a urban myth that old growth or other such trees are felled for paper products.

We have 3 town cranes in our little town about to make it quite a bit darker. Beside that, I always wondered how these things didn't topple over in the wind. Now I see that there is quite a bit of structure built beforehand to support them, and plenty of tests to see that they won't probably fail. I also want to see when they have no accessory cranes and have to jack up the rig! That seems scary as hell!
yep, humans are more important than ....well why are they doing it other than for humans. So did you have a point? Also this is clearly an internal video intended for employees....
@@Batman-wv5ng It is all to do with responsibility in the event of a claim and criminal charges being brought. Recently a tower crane collapsed in Canada, you should find the videos and then you will learn why paperwork is important. A young woman and her child were killed in that accident and others too.
@@JonDingle; But the reason we were told we needed to add all that paperwork to the process in the first place was to avoid killing innocent young women and children while erecting or operating a crane. I'm not sure of the Canadian regs but most of the paperwork in the video here was probably also required on the crane involved in the incident with the young woman and child, yet it did not protect them. All that paperwork and the outcome is the same. We just fill that stuff out so they know who to bill. It has nothing to do with keeping people safe and everything to do with liability.
@@TimothySmithii Yes, I shall quote my comment. "It is all to do with responsibility in the event of a claim and criminal charges being brought." So we agree then.
Impressive amount of work that foes in to these things... I seen several of them go up but I had no idea that much work goes into building from the bottom up...
I am glad I worked in construction in the US, the hoopla in Australia is nuts. (BTW, a tagline does not control any lifting, it just allows someone to grasp the pick before it gets too close.

Hard hats are only when you’re head is exposed and vulnerable to objects in your surroundings. If this guy spends all day inside the crane cockpit . No need to wear one
Clock in in for work and climb up to the top and it would be lunch time. Climb back down and shift is over. Now I'd be stuck dead up there clinging on like that guy from Tremors
Weird thing is they had built the core then erected the crane. Usually the crane is first thing erected on site after finishing the excavation because it is used to build everything later on.
I enjoyed this video immensely but, I found it lacking in certain specifics. So, exactly how high was this tower at its tallest point? What was its maximum lifting capacity? How many lorries did it take to provide all the parts to erect this behemoth? How many men work on the crew to assemble one of these tower cranes usually?
Obviously the order crane is putting together another but is the other crane put into the ground to so there able to build the other one is what I'm wondering. Like wouldn't it tip over already.
I must say those men who build those crain's are very, very brave indeed there is No Way you'd get me up one of those Crain's even once it's built I hate heights
I started with a steel erection company but left soon after as boring work they all call themself erection specialists haha fun to say but jobs not for me
You did not bother to show how the mobile crane columns 6:51 are assembled, pretty much a HUGELY important part? Otherwise very interesting. HOW is the mobile jib and tower parts connected at altitude?
What I have always wanted to know is how they build and dismantle one of these cranes when building a skyscraper ie the Berg calipha. You see them perched on the top of the building as it grows taller, I remember seeing them on the top of the humber bridge.
You can add a frame to the top that can lift the whole part that rotates and insert a new section. So you only need to build a fairly small crane the way you see here, then it can make itself taller.
The concrete base will vary depending on soil conditions. This base or raft slab was built onto piers that probably go down to bedrock, guess the soil wasn't stable.
Thank you for the very detailed video. Always wondered how the base of a crane is built
I had NO idea it started off like it does...
I thought it was magic!!
Interesting because it looked as if they didn't show the piles being driven and they didn't show any anchors bolting the derrick base footings to the piles; it looked as if they were just depending on the shear strength of the footing concrete to prevent pullout.
Gianni P what happens to the base when the crane is dismantled .
I believe they just leave it there. It gets covered by.... something- maybe the parking lot. It just lives there forever.
wow even mentioned the document, this is the most detailed clip i had ever seen
Amazing. I always wondered how they constructed them. Great photography, really clear explanation. Great stuff.
The construction parts were interesting, but the paperwork parts were scintillating.

Fantastic insight!
So let me get this straight
It takes a crane to build a crane???
1.1k likes... and everyone in the comments is a crane engineer????
They used to self erect (still do sometimes) but using a mobile crane to do it is quicker/cheaper. The reason for not just using mobile cranes in the first place is that they have a bigger footprint and are more expensive to have on site for extended periods.
nice
it's cranes all the way down
Most cranes, mobile hydraulic and crawler often use a 150-ton mobile crane to erect them because of the counterweights and boom sections.
epistte technically hydraulic and crawler cranes are both forms of mobile cranes. The crane used to assemble this Tower was . 500 to 600tons

What came first? The crane or the crane?
You can’t build a crane without a crane but how would you build that crane without having a crane?

so've I
been wondering the same thing since i was a kid in the 90s. my lifelong question finally answered by this video although it took a lot of paperwork 😏😅
there's type of crane which can carry up and build by themselves piece by piece without use another crane
a self erector. It still needs a crane for the initial assembly.
Kasper Onza ya true..
A self-erector and a climbing tower crane are two different types of crane.
It handles its own erection?
@@godfreypoon5148 Most of the "boys" in San Fran handle their own erections at one time or another.

Super job I hats up civil engineer's plan and to doing Dare without fear (superb)
So you still need another crane raised on what appears to be some type of piston, how do they erect that then
Weird thing is they had built the core then erected the crane. Usually the crane is first thing erected on site after finishing the excavation because it is used to build everything later on.

Does the crane operator live in a small apt. up top until the job is finished or does he have to climb up and down every morning and evening?
