As i have lived half of my life near the oil refinery kilpilahti in southern coast of finland i have seen mammoet move and lift many weirdly shaped and sized refinery equipment into its place.
Those things are his and he can be reckless as much as he wants to be. But this thing is not his so he has to be super super super careful also that shit moves super slow i doubt anything major could heppene
It's spelled "T-H-E-I-R", meaning possession. For example: "Their car" or "Their food". The word "there" that you used means a location. For example: "My house is over there" (pointing in the distance with their arm).
Perpetually impressed with the feats of engineering my small country of the Netherlands produces. Glad to have you visit! The guys at Mammoet seem great lads aswell. Thanks for the great content as always :D
proud to say that our small country (Netherlands) has got this awesome company (mammoet) with the biggest crane and is doing all these specialty lifts all around the world 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱.
"humanity couldnt build the pyramids today even if we wanted to" a random crane with more complexity in the logistics used to make the steel cables alone, nearly double the hight of the pyramids: "are you sure about that"
those kinds of statements about the pyramids are bunk. if a nation wanted to and could spend 20 years and plenty of money it would not be a huge problem. at the time they were built they were the top priority for the monarch and the country believed he was a god and wanted to build the pyramid
@@ronblack7870 I wonder how big the world's most powerful nations could make stone pyramids if they started today. Like, what if the US and China both suddenly converted their military budgets into pyramid budgets or something like that? Hahaha
wait a minute, is mammoth also the company who salvaged the massive soviet submarine called kursk and built the new sarcophagus for chernobyl? holy cow
7:15 I'm sure what you were talking about was interesting, but I'm more mesmerised by the camera guy dual wielding cameras while keeping track of the narrative of what you're saying and filming the relevant things 😂
Considering how complex it must be to build one of these cranes and the sheer number of parts involved, completing it in just 6 weeks is incredibly fast, especially given the level of quality control required
It’s crazy to know that THE Hacksmith, one of the biggest contend creator on the platform, has visited my home town !!! I literally recognize the harbors and docks on the background and obviously the huge crane. I wish I would have seen him around. I hope he enjoyed his time here and whilst he as at it, visiting huge structures, he also popped by one of worlds biggest old style grain grinding windmills. And I truly hope he has tried ‘een kopstootje’ 😂. Hacksmith… if you see this… de groeten uit Schiedam, Nederland 🇳🇱👋
It's now 6000 Ton, the SK6000. Takes 300 shipping containers, and the additional boom another 50 containers... Takes 12 weeks to put together... Just mind-boggling!
@@TwitchyMofo 10% is a whole lot. imagine you making 10% less money. i'd quit. or if you had to pay 10% more taxes. i'd move. imagine being able to bench press 10% more than your max. i could go on forever. but the important thing is that american call really massive things "[x] metric shittons". they swear even. it's a respect thing bc it's so much more and bc you can actually make simple calculations in metric in your head even without having to be a semi-maths genius like how many barley corns are in a ton vs how many milligrams are in a metric tonne.
Pretty sure that’s not the worlds largest crane. The biggest ons is the Sarens SGC-250. It has the same 5000 ton capacity, but is 4 meters higher and can move itself from one turningcircle to another one by moving among rails. It has 52 shippingcontainers filled with sand as a counterwight. But the mammoet ons is still pretty dope aswel
@theHacksmith honored u replied. True! Btw ty for making all the inventions you do. It's so special. You and Mark rover are the best inventor creators on YT that make us all feel happy to see our dreams come to life.
As a Dutch person I think I'm obliged to say Gekoloniseerd. Fun to see Schiedam through this view when I've only ever really seen the city as a city before.
I first heard of Mammoet years ago on some special heavy lift project that was covered on PBS. Digging into them decades ago was fascinating then and the work they've done over the years is just continually utterly mind boggling at times. You could always tell and this video shows it so well it's a company of very passionate people.
You lucky dawg
we want to see you Rig the largest crane in the world!
Oh hello there
can you fully disassemble the crane in vidéo please ?
You don't want to mess with that Jerry, it will give you deeper scratches at every level.
Im dutch ant i go tere everiday
Great to have you on site James - to experience the RAW LIFTING POWER! 💪💪💪
Why has No One commented on this yet jeez
Awesome crane and company!
Very good interview humble but explaining answers.
As i have lived half of my life near the oil refinery kilpilahti in southern coast of finland i have seen mammoet move and lift many weirdly shaped and sized refinery equipment into its place.
Nice vid!
Considering how you've handled construction equipment (spider mech, power loader) in the past, I'm shocked they let you anywhere near that thing.
Those things are his and he can be reckless as much as he wants to be. But this thing is not his so he has to be super super super careful also that shit moves super slow i doubt anything major could heppene
@@weewoomemes I know, I'm merely joking
isnt james mech suit surtified though
@crazybird199 hello there!
Why do i see you -crazybird- where ever i go?
The real operator showed true joy in his eyes explaining the controls to James
a man that loves and takes pride in his work
I mean working there is a big accomplishment@@MrGoesBoom
It's cool to see James do an interview! Do more!
Agreed! With Tom Scott stepping down, there's a void that needs filling!
Agreed, more content like this it's good.
OMG U SHOULD MAKE THE FALLOUT POWER ARMOR
goeie promoot ook voor jullie
What a behemoth of engineering! You must have been in awe most of that trip!
Pyramid conspiracy theorists who say we can't build the pyramids today should really take a look at this video, lol
Nooo... That crane is clearly not man made
@@Blobfishkat oh no
They said it would be difficult not impossible
Are you trying to say Egyptians used crane to build pyramid 🤡
No one has ever said that
I love that when you are from the Netherlands you directly recognise a Dutch person by there accent.
I heard 2 words and instantly recognised his 'steenkolen engels'
as a dutchman it's always painful to hear your own accent
It's spelled "T-H-E-I-R", meaning possession. For example: "Their car" or "Their food". The word "there" that you used means a location. For example: "My house is over there" (pointing in the distance with their arm).
@@diamondcreepah ja prc, waarom is het nederlandse accent zo slecht als je engels spreekt
Instantly, i saw mammoet and was like "Here we go with the bad english!!" 😂
That's awesome.
6:30 "I am Till" this is actually hilarious! "til" means to lift something in Dutch, and he really does, every day 😂
7:38 look at that cameraman dualwielding those camera's tho
Max proficiency

(We have more amazing companies like ASML)
For me, the biggest crane comes from Sarens which is Belgian, but for 2m difference we can call it a draw and enjoy our BE-NED super lifters !
@@batagnam but we have 3 of them and 1 of them is going to canada now 😁
nice to see you are operating the largest crane ever made in hands off a Dutch company.
How else would we wage ware with the sea

😂

I'm not sure there's another one
It's spelled "Mammoet", not "mammoth". Mammoet is a company. Mammoth is an animal.
I believe the Kursk was salvaged by another Dutch company. Smit/Boskalis is also doing some heavy lifting. I believe they did the Kursk.
@@groentjuheu SMIT did it in a collaboration with Mammoet..
they were involved in the costa concordia as well

The crane on our site BIG Carl is 820ft tall 250m, his largest boom length of 160m 5000ton lift capability. HPC Site UK. Your welcome!
NETHERLANDS MENTIONED, WHAT IS LIVING ABOVE SEA LEVEL 🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀
James reaching all new heights! Doing the heavy lifting!
And some people say size doesn't matter

I worked on the previous worlds largest crane. The Bigge 125D. These are impressive machines!
The fears of engineering. Truly spectacular!
This man seemed legitimately happy to talk cranes, love it.
The "what is this a ___ for ants" reference always kills me
Looking for this comment
So cool. That must have been so fun
This was super interesting, James is such a great interviewer, and who doesn't love a massive crane. 😀
really enjoy seeing james this hyped
its so cool to see James just having a good time, doing what he wants to do learning new things, we will always support you! ❤
RUclips singlehandedly keeps my interest in learning new things alive
Finally a crane to lift Caseoh
💀
Love that you came to a dutch company that is big in transporting and lifting big things
That amount of raw power can only remind me of a full grown great white shark 🦈
Yes indeed you intelligent gentleman
Likewise kind sir ✊🏿
Well well well aren't I the popular fellow today , At ease solider!!
See those type of cranes in oil and gas industry all the time. Takes about a month to assemble.
Bro is a master at doing side quests
You need to make a duel disk IRL please
This is amazing, almost feels like a Tom Scott video! Different than your usual, and I welcome that!
Love seeing this crane at full capacity
They are such a neat company. Those multi wheel remote transporters are the coolest.
They must have built that for Caseoh.
The way it is from a drone is badass
So how many regular cranes does it take to set this one up in a decent time? :D
Morning Guys - where has summer gone?
It’s funny how when the crane operator in the intro spoke one word, I could instantly recognize you were in the Netherlands 😂🇳🇱
I am surprised no one has built a walking crane that like this one.
Destin for Smarter Every Day would love this as he loves snatch blocks
Amazing video! I hope you enjoyed it here in The Netherlands!
genuinely one of the most impressive and renowned companies in the world. Great stuff!
Proud to be Dutch 🇳🇱
I used to inspect rigging equipment that big
Sounds really cool man fr
I love that I got to experience this through you!
Now that's one mammoth of a crane.
Finally! A crane that can lift Caseoh!
It’s funny. I drive almost everyday beside that crane. Soo for me this is soo normal to see 😂
I had an an idea which probably can’t work but why can’t you make a light saber out of a bunch of lasers and a mirrors.
It's how they put the crains together that impresses me, its like origami and mechano in one. 🤔
James is a surprisingly good interviewer 😮
these people are dutch, they dont know the imperial system, so these are tonnes, not tons. 9000 tonnes are a whole lot more than just 9000 tons
Imperial system 🤡
Only about 10%. Not that much more.
@@TwitchyMofo yeah just a measly 2,000,000 pound difference

WOOOOO this looks awesome!!! I can’t believe how powerful this thing is. I can’t believe it can be shipped either. Thank you for showing us this beast

This one is configurable for different heights
Ur thumbnail is incorrect. You said 225m in the video opener for the crane which is 738m yet on ur thumbnail it says 713ft. Great video lol❤
They can be configured for different heights

Who the hell let James control a crane 😂
The way you look like a little kid when talking about a crane. Thanks for this fun video. 👍
he was also in a big boys' playground
The most mechanical engineer video ever, being so happy about cranes lol
Now that's a unique show, thanks for sharing this inside view on such a huge crane!
1:00
“Crane-alot!”
“Crane-alot!!!”
“Crane-alot!!!!!”
“It’s only a model.”
When did you visit, the weather's been completely shit the last couple of months, so you've been blessed with the blue sky!
so unfortunate that mammoet JUST finished testing the new worlds largest crane
Finally a way we can move around CaseOh!
As a crane operator for simple tower cranes, this is huge. I max out at 50tons if the customer orders it. But 12ton is the basic.
Next ask to pilot one of the rotary coal excavators in Germany. In my opinion, even more impressive.
That's crazy! The world's biggest crane! I wonder what other insane things you'll license!
Woah woah woah....what about Big Carl....that crane has it's own wiki entry!
"How did you become the world's biggest crane operator?" What? He's not even that big.
EDIT: 9:43
So how well would you say your mech driving experience prepared you for this moment?
I wasn’t aware there were cranes that big
As a Dutch person I think I'm obliged to say Gekoloniseerd. Fun to see Schiedam through this view when I've only ever really seen the city as a city before.
That rigging room is crazy
How do these guys even land opportunities like this, its so insane
i don't mind seeing more of these machinery/equipment informational videos.
Pretty interesting.
Great to see you feeling so free to try things and ask questions! Love the video!
When the engineer who does comics stuff finds the most amazing thing ever in real life

u should create more fallout weapons and test them, we need a fallout theme park
actual tip that i think could improve the viewership of the video: instead of "I Drove..." make it "Driving..."
This would be a cool series, can you do the massive excavators next
Impressive….. very nice now let’s see Paul Allen’s worlds largest crane
🤣
james doing sidequests
I've worked around this crain in Pennsylvania about 5 years ago. The video doesn't do it justice on how big it is
i think it woould be super cool to see you guys make power armor
Awesome, I wish one day I could see it person
0:58 Nice Zoolander reference!
Hundreds of years of mystery solved. So, they built the Egyptian pyramids with this crane.
