  • In this video, I use the main and auxiliary winches to stand a piece from horizontal to vertical with one crane. Also known as "tailing" a piece with the auxiliary winch or "whip line".

    Looks like your shaving the man lift trailer pretty close Jimmy! Looks like the guy that needed it to get back on the ground was looking pretty nervous at the end of the vid. Nice job showing off the cranes way of crab steering and getting out of the tight places, your camera work is getting great too! What is the little strobe light for out to the right of the cab?

      matt lee, I was close. But, never touched it. The guy up top was definitely keeping an eye on it though. Lol. The strobe outside shows everyone around the crane, what condition the crane is in. Green is good. Yellow= getting close to capacity. Red= at capacity or the crane is not happy about something, a fault for example. Many thanks for watching! 🙂👍

    Where in the duty charts is the data for a lift of this nature? This is an illegal task you are performing.Read the operators manual and it will tell not to do this type of lift.I know it gets performed often in the uk,but you won’t ever see it in a method statement or lift plan........

    • @ToTheTopCrane
      @ToTheTopCrane  4 года назад +1

      That's actually false. In the operators manual, there is a section pertaining to lifting and up righting pieces with both winches. Tadano covers the topic in detail. I have read the manuals from cover to cover several times. It is definitely not illegal.

    @NealORussa 4 года назад

    When doing a 2 line pick from the same boom tip, have you ever had your load want to spin and twist up your lines during the pick? I've done a lot of 2 crane tailing picks and was never worried about it, but that was something i always thought could go wrong with one crane tailing. Especially if it is a long distance between the two pick points and short boom, which would create a large angle between the cables.

    COOL! I learned something today. I always thought the rooster sheave was just so you could cable up/down faster with light loads. I picked a "bag-house" that was supposed to weigh 6,600 lbs., but once I got it off the ground it was 8,000. (full of saw dust) I realized that when I 'd try to lay it down on the semi trailer, the legs would fold up. I had to call in another crane, a 33 ton National. I tailed him, it worked but your rig is the cat's ass!

    • @ToTheTopCrane
      @ToTheTopCrane  5 лет назад +1

      Thomas Nelson, the single top (rooster sheave) has a few uses. Line separation, a little extra reach, speed. The plus side to your bag house....at least it wasn't 100 feet in the air and they miscalculated the weight. That is the sole reason why I don't like demo work and trees. If you ever make it down this way, I'll give ya a tour of the crane. Many thanks for watching! 🙂👍

    • @thomasnelson2463
      @thomasnelson2463 5 лет назад +1

      Tree work is actually fun, we always keep the pieces around 1,000 lbs. and start with at least that in tension to pre-load the boom. No drama, and it makes the job last longer. $$$
      I always say, "I don't mind heights, as long as I'm looking up at 'em!"
      I will definitely look you up if I'm in Missouri. Thanks, I'd love a tour!
