Amazing Video Sergei, I wish I had the technology of today back in 1977, I was stationed in Churchill Manitoba, and they brought in a MANITOWOC Crane to dig the harbour out, it came in pieces on rail car and was re assembled in the harbour over a period of a month cause the crane you see lifting these parts were not the same size. Amazing to see it being done in fridgid weather. Plus I had the opportunity to ride in the Tug Boat who was hauling the 'scows' full of muck into the Hudson Bay and dumping it about 2 kilometres away. Thanks again for sharing this amazing video.
the funny thing is that just after i said these cranes are 'well designed for travel and dis/re-assembly'... guess what - the housing cannot be lifted by a crane! they checked and re-checked the manual and nope, no lifting points exist on the housing. the only way to load and unload this thing i was carrying in the video is to use its hydraulic legs. the trailer has to come in under to load and drive out after unloading. that can cause some problems in tight spaces and it did actually complicate things quite a bit this morning, when I was unloading at a super tight construction site in Pickering, ON.
Way to go Uncle Sergei! Very interesting load! It is my understanding that to be a heavy crane operator you have to love math. It is really interesting how they calculate what they can pick up. Max weight picked right close to the crane. Minimum weight away from the crane. If you screw up, you crumple it. Great video!
Nice video!! Imagine picking up a load from An-124 nose opening. Actually you can drive your whole truck inside fully loaded, get flown to Antarctica to deliver a generator, then your truck is flown back. That would be one sweet mission for you Sergei. .!!.. ;) That video would be on Discovery channel. Stay safe Seroga..
Crane operator is very very well paid. well over 100,000 CAD. but hard to get jobs and the training is really quite difficult with regard to advanced math, almost like engineer math.
WOW Sergei, I'am impress,I have never seen anything like this before. Verry good video,always learning something new from you. Take care and good luck with your load.
Most interesting. Again, nice to see another Heavy load from you. Thanks for listing what your trailer axles are. I looked in to that type of trailer and I thought that was the axle rating. Can you tell how many chains you had on this load? I could not see them all. Looks like some were tucked under this unit. By the way, Are there enough "D" rings on that trailer?? I though you mention something about how they were not twisted on a angle or you not having enough "D" Rings. Thanks for another interesting video.
chains: i had 2 chains in the front (1 pair), 4 in the back (2 pairs), and 2 more on each side (2 pairs). these were 'direct tiedowns' so you need a pair to count as 11,300 Lb. so, i had 5 pairs X 11,300 Lb = 56,500 Lb. Which means the chains i had were actually good for a load weighing 56,500 X 2 = 113,300 Lb. I always put more chains than required - better safe than sorry. all chains were 1/2".
This was really cool Uncle Sergei!! ...I wonder whats the material they use for those ropes on the crane? I bet its not cloth even though it looks like it :)
Will you ever get into mega haulage? like pulling trailers carrying 200+ ton loads with one or two trucks pushing at the back? it would be epic if you do so.
Your trailer axles are 10,000 pounds overloaded? Here in Western Canada you are only allowed 24,000kgs (52,000 pounds) even your drives are overloaded? Really surprised that house works section of that crane weighs that much looks are deceiving. The Mack is getting a good test don't push it too hard your dog will start yelping lol
On the West Coast we are not allowed to have overloaded axles, with low beds you add another axle or strip the machine further to get the weight down. The load in your video would require a booster axle on the back of your trailer. Once you get past 8 axles then you are into another class of heavy haul.
Lucky for me I am not trucking in Western Canada where they don't recognize pusher axles on trucks. In Ontario when you have a permit you are pretty much allowed all the weight that your factory rating is good for. My trailers axles are 25,000 Lb each. Alberta rules are too conservative. Eastern Canada is much more 'heavy haul friendly'.

12:33 HARD HAT DOWN! The wind takes another victim.
Really interesting video, up 2:45 am in Jamaica on a Monday morning watching some heavy duty haulage and came across this, lovely video Sergei..
Way to go Uncle Sergei!
Very interesting load!

Great video!
That's why they wear hard hats. No biggie ;)
Trigonometry applied!
Man that clip looks like a scene from the "Ice Road Truckers" TV show.
Very cool, it'll be interesting to hear how the truck handles such a heavy load.
Nice video!! Imagine picking up a load from An-124 nose opening.

Don!t be scared uncle; the force is with you!!!
Wow! That's a beast of a load. Hopefully it pays like its weight!
Crane operator is very very well paid. well over 100,000 CAD. but hard to get jobs and the training is really quite difficult with regard to advanced math, almost like engineer math.
Amazing loads that are moved by trucks. Hope they make it worth your while financially. Must be hard on the truck.
Good Job on this V-Log Uncle Sergei. Audio was Excellent, Possibly because No background Noise being Created except Bunk heater. Stay Warm.
16:38 those trailer lights are flashing fine now!
Great video Uncle Sergei... thanks making it.
small world Sergei, that truck in minute 10:50, the black an burgundy columbia, i bought it and now it is here in Mexico!!!!
Been dying to see this video. Now it's here. Wroooooooom, thanks for posting. You are dah best.
I wanted to know what a crane like that cost, found a used 2008 model asking price 1,1 million USD
WOW Sergei, I'am impress,I have never seen anything like this before.
Verry good video,always learning something new from you.
Take care and good luck with your load.
You are THE man!
Looking good Sergei ... Great Videography, soon I'll see you on the Discovery Channel directing some feature reality programs ... Stay Safe !

So, how do they move the last crane?
Dixon Peer the last crane loads itself, thank to the hydraulic support legs. you should watch the video to the end.
I like this musical number, Serge.
Sergei, If you mount your fuel pump for your Websto to the frame of your truck you won't hear the clicking so bad.
This was really cool Uncle Sergei!! ...I wonder whats the material they use for those ropes on the crane? I bet its not cloth even though it looks like it :)
canadian aligator skin
***** You almost got it but according to the interwebs they are made out of polyester.
220 short ton crane.....big balls. Those track weight about 20 short each
Will you ever get into mega haulage? like pulling trailers carrying 200+ ton loads with one or two trucks pushing at the back? it would be epic if you do so.
like the ones that transport transformers with gigantic trailers
Whoa! Pretty cool!
the real deal Sergei
WOW Sergei That was very cool!!
Yes sir serq, australia is a good country to live in as l am australian. None of that cold blizzard stuff here.
Great vid!!
As far as crain's ,,my friend,,,, you are hauling the best,,,, I. Know you can do it l
Uncle Sergei u the man
Сергей делайте титры на русском в американ видео было бы класс пожалуйста))) Удачи в работе!
good video
Unless i missed it, did you say where you are taking that monster?
pickering, ontario.
yeah man first post ....how's it going my friend
Very interesting vid. We now have 505hp v 58 tonne so who is winning that battle uncle sergie :-)

The trailer axles are factory rated for 25K each. Drives are 46 plus s 20k pusher. Relax.
The axles are rated for that but legally you are overweight.
Graveltrucking That's why I carry an Ontario annual overweight/oversize permit. Duh!

I'll take another 16 min. of that!
ha those came from around cleveland ohio by me lol
love your videos ,always interesting and dam good job you do/ nothing like a real PRO////////////
Why didn't you show the crane loading the crane? I was disappointed and I want a refund. Just joking.
I backed under it. I cannot drive and film at the same time.
