Seems like you already know the basics. You can learn the rest (quite quickly!) by moving to an English-speaking country -- or even just a country in Europe where you can speak English on the job. Until you manage to get here, you can watch as much English-language TV as possible, listen to as many English-language podcasts as possible, read as much in English as possible and perhaps find a forum where you can communicate in English. It might be an enthusiast's group for, I don't know, birdwatching, old typewriters, mechanical calculators, flower arrangement, or Jane Austen novels. Or it might be a networked game where the other players communicate in English. The actual subject doesn't matter. Find something that interests you. Book ideas: Franco-Belgian comic books in English (Astérix, Tintin, Spirou & Fantasio, ...) or Danish comic books in English (Valhalla!) or perhaps books about cranes or WW2 tanks or Hercule Poirot stories. Find something that interests you and start with something that isn't too difficult. Your target is "comprehensible input" -- something like 98% or more of the text has to be something you can understand. It works better and faster than formal language classes. Supplementing that with targeted studies of phonetics and grammar can be useful at some point, of course. (I'm *a* Kazahk crane operator. And I *am* working *with* Russian cranes... your grammar isn't quite there, but you are easy to understand. You stick with simple sentences that you can handle. That is very, very good. Keep doing that most of the time!)

Liebherr is one of those companies that I as an engineering student would love to visit. Yeah lifting and lifting equipment aren't probably what I'm going to end up doing, but... damn everything they demo is incredibly fascinating.
A lot of virgins in check shirts sitting at their desks furiously hammering in numbers into their calculators. That's how things like the get engineered.

The smaller one comes in the package with the big one, as gift. It's for the small jobs around the house and in the garden. Walk the dog, spray the lawn, as paperweight, you know.
Alistair Twiname , exactly. You need the smaller crane, which ain’t a little crane to begin with, to erect the large crane. Smart thinking to use it as a counterweight.
Those Liebherr engineers. What an interesting group of people! Every year about 3-6 months after Oktoberfest, a bunch of interesting products and videos show up on RUclips lol! Thanks for the cool video!
I started my operator apprenticeship in 73. Way back then and before we, here in the good old USA, were using smaller cranes to start the initial booming up of conventional booms, tower as well on large cranes usually crawlers. Over a certain amount of boom you would for the most part need another crane. Tracks and counterweight installed on turntable and cab first. Boom sections and peak were added at the base. All this was done with help from other cranes or forklifts and a lot of human weight lifting especially if you were an oiler and not a journeyman operator.
very cool, no need to bring all the extra counterweights just to raise the boom since you already need to have assembly cranes on site to erect the big boy.... just use them for additional purposes... nice and creative by Liebherr to outfit the end of the boom and the counterweight system with that joint/pivot connection. And did you see the weight of those endless loop straps? how hard that guy was working to move it and disconnect it from the pin on the undercarriage of the LTR 1220??? lol
My grandfather Al Decuir made a lot of lifts with his cran the Skyhore he invented for Lumas back in the day , he was one of the last old school riggers that did not use physics , got a old letter from MIT apologizing for not listening to him on a lift that went wrong .....
If it didnt bend it would break under its own weight. If you want to see something bend take a look at a tower crane from an angle where you can compare it to a straight edge like a building. They move a lot when lifting stuff. Pretty awesome
There are support cables down the boom that prevent it from breaking under its own weight. The bend is intentional and is designed into the boom, the bend transfers load if there was no bend it would be "brittle" and snap. There is also a safety margin required by law for material thickness and yield stress when designing the boom itself along with many many other parameters. The CN Tower in Toronto is a reinforced concrete tower that is 1815 feet high and sways almost 7 feet from center.
nice video, but would have liked to see the assembly of the big crane (1600/2) come as well as this one, just the same video as you do with the 1250,etc. - that is not time_lapsed and pin by pin, but otherwise a great video, keep doing them (hint: a video about the control cab of these big guys would be a welcome site on you-tube!!)
This is superb thinking! Using the erectioncrane as counterweight and after the lift is done it can brake the bigg crane down aggain! Smart thinking! Top engineering at his best!
what was the lenght of the boom they raised ? .. WOW ... i used to LOVE my little P&H T750 truck crane never had the opertunity to operate one of your rigs before i was forced to retire DAMN i miss that work
Something I noticed: Liebherr makes a lot of crawler-track telescoping boom cranes. You see those very rarely in the U.S. (though I have seen them used on the railroads for things like re-railing locomotives). Do you sell more or these cranes in Europe, or are they becoming more common in general? Either way it is a VERY clever use of one to use as a counterweight with the crawler crane to get its jib fully raised. Kudos to your engineers for that!
It depends where you are. A big crawler crane with a lattice boom will often be used as a general site crane because the lattice boom has to be assembled on site and it has a great radius for general site duties (1-3t lifts). A crawler crane with a telescoping boom might be used as a pick and carry crane on rough terrain, thats how I've used them. You won't see crawler cranes with telescoping booms because they will offroad and far from view of the general public, they can also be mistaken for excavators when the boom is fully retracted.
@@elliotkane4443 That's really interesting! It also makes a ton of sense to me. It's not necessarily that I've never seen one, just that they seemed rare... except they aren't. They just work in really out of the way places, which sounds exactly like you'd use a highly mobile crawler crane for. Thank you for the info! Always happy to learn something new!
Wow, really hammers home the sheer size of that thing. What on earth would you use the big crane for? What could you possibly want to lift with it? My imagination is failing me...
If I worked for Liebherr, I would have to arrive 30 minutes early each working day as it would take 30 minutes for me to get over the awe and wonderment each morning before I could apply myself to the day in hand, it takes a lot to impress me but I'm impressed! Disappointed that the EU destroyed the UK crane manufacturing industry though, but a least our MP's were compensated well.
Had enough counter weights for lifts. Just takes more for the initial boom lift. Years ago we would use another crane to get the boom up enough the cane could continue the lift alone. Sometimes a Lorain 790 to help Manitowoc 4100
Ahahaha its just a countereight? omg i thought that they mounting Liebherr -ltr 1220 self assmbly crane or something but hey they mounted another crane as counterweight now thats creative.

Very clever. Using the crane that would normally be on a job site to perform smaller lifting as counterweight is a huge time saver and efficient
Täking Thë High Roäd That's the idea behind it, yes-glad you like it, too!
+Täking Thë High Roäd also you would need to have at least one crane of that size present to assemble the crawler anyway

yeah what are you supposed to do if there's an emergency and you have to lower the boom after the counterweight crane has detached

Those Liebherr engineers. What an interesting group of people! Every year about 3-6 months after Oktoberfest, a bunch of interesting products and videos show up on RUclips lol! Thanks for the cool video!
Now this is taking using a smaller crane to help erect the larger crane to a whole new level
I started my operator apprenticeship in 73. Way back then and before we, here in the good old USA, were using smaller cranes to start the initial booming up of conventional booms, tower as well on large cranes usually crawlers. Over a certain amount of boom you would for the most part need another crane. Tracks and counterweight installed on turntable and cab first. Boom sections and peak were added at the base. All this was done with help from other cranes or forklifts and a lot of human weight lifting especially if you were an oiler and not a journeyman operator.
They never fail to impress.
SpaceX just brought a 1600 on-site in Boca Chica, Texas for booster assembly.
“Damn it, forgot the counterweights.”
They had enough counter weight for lifts. Needed more to lift that amount of boom.
That is a brilliant idea. Those mini crawler cranes are very cool to.
Hey, Claus! We're all out concrete blocks for counterweight.
Das ist echt cool hätte net gedacht das ne Firma auf sowas kommt und umsetzt
What would we do without videos like this.
Gracias liebherr por tanta tecnología puesta en nuestras manos

i hate to think of the daily hire rate on one of these ,,, but its a serious bit of kit,
Is the little crane the one used to assemble the big one?
i like liebherr
Now I want to see which crane uses the LR 1600/2 as a counterweight...
Liebherr LR 11350 or LR 13000 can use LR 1600/2 as Counterweights.
This is an cover-up when you forget to bring the counter weight to construction site

Okay, now I've seen it all
nice

Liebherr “King of Crane’s “
I think CC crane( crawler crane) used the TCC crane (Telescopic crawler crane) as a cownter weight
On a lattice boom of that length what about mid point suspension?..rasing the boom from flat stick puts huge compression on that length of boom
IM sure Leibherr ow what they are doing.
What is inside the orange bands,anyone on here know?
Incredible engineering. Got to give it to the Germans.
Ahahaha its just a countereight? omg i thought that they mounting Liebherr -ltr 1220 self assmbly crane or something but hey they mounted another crane as counterweight now thats creative.
The crane train!
Did they use the smaller crane as counter weight only to lift the main boom?
This is innovation
With a large enough platform Liebherr could lift the WORLD!
ME.
That's all cool Liebherr, but now build a larger crane to use the 1600/2 or 1700-1.0 as counterweight.
