I’ve been interested in cranes for over 40 years. However, I’ve made a living teaching people to fly helicopters. A crane that strongly sparked my interest was a Manitowoc 3900W operating across the street. Thanks for providing another operator’s view. I also watch the channel To The Top Crane.
I think teaching people to fly helicopters is way cooler bro haha that’s insane thanks for tuning in we don’t get manitowocs in the uk plenty of groves witch is a sister company 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
Nice to see my English colleagues working with this beautiful crane. I engineered a plan for a 42 meter luffing jib and 204 cwt in a few weeks. I want to see how difficult i made the lives of my guys😉
It’s a dream to work with this crane only issue is the riggers being higher than the slew ring makrons some luffer rigs tricky as you can only do them directly over back or side if ya honoreren a rigger your working considerably more at height 🤟🏻
Loved the Yankee reeving video mate and the fact that u admitted how confusing it is and how u wanted to master it before u would use the assist winch 👌
Good video buddy never get to see much cab view videos. I worked for Mammoet for 6 years running crawlers in the US. If you got any friends running a 11350 that would make for an awesome video as well you don’t see any good videos of them from the seat.
Thanks a lot brother we do have one coming over this month it’s way up north though don’t think I’ll get around it it’s a shame cause they are a beast 🤟🏻🤟🏻
Hi, thanks for the video you made. I am a crane operator, I really like seeing the assembly of your mobile crane, I hope you will make other videos to explain everything well. I am very passionate! I work in Italy hi
good video mate, when you roll the luffer out on that crane cant you just use the reaving winch connected to winch 1 and put it in auto until its flat?
Great video exactly what we want to see loved it might watch it again later would be brilliant to see the whole set up and pack up video start to finished set up a camera on the cab or something anyway good luck for when little one comes along and I’ve hit all the buttons for notifications etc
Thanks a lot mate I really appreciate that means a lot yeah I may do that but split it in parts as would be like a 3-4 hour long video something I’m gunna look at though deffo once again appreciate ya tuning in mate and for the support🤟🏻🤟🏻🥰
Finally, I see the operator of the most famous 1750 in the world, in addition, excuse me I have a question for your expertise, I am a 70-150tons range operator in HK, some of us are always have a argument about the “rabbit mode”, not sure it provides effect of the speed/strength mainly..
Rabbit mode with change the speed of your hoist drum and telle cylinder to also the booming up seems fast on rabbit mode not sure if it really does speed it up though
@@Cranebrain yeah there is no detailed explanation about the “rabbit” in the Liebherr manual, because usually we don’t need to operate with maximum speed, it would be enough without rabbit mode..
Should do a run through the computer and all the different icons, I know the normal operating screen because I drive liebherrs but not everyone would know and I’m sure some would !
Awesome Video, think we had Neil on a Job your 500t did in Derby in Sept last year putting a temp bridge in? the driver was called Fergie a Scottish bloke.
Great video mate, no other content like this in youtube great details and interesting to see inside a crane and how it works your channel will go far 👍🏻. One question what is the clicking noise as your lowering ? Cheers Chris
Thanks a lot mate appreciate that I love showing people what we do thanks for watching 🤟🏻🤟🏻 the clicking noise is a audio cue to tell the operator how fast the hoist drum is spinning the more you push or pull the leaver the quicker the clicks get 🤟🏻🤟🏻
Is that typical when running a luffer on a A/T or crawler when going to lay the luffer down you boom down and luffer down at the same time till you hit a certain degree then straight boom down?
Yeah mate best way to gauge it is to keep your first mast in line with your boom ya can’t really go wrong then then once ya blocks off and in the wheels ya just keeping weight in ya f2 booming down luffing up then once ya nearly down can just boom down important to watch that your hoist rope doesn’t get trapped by the tie bars laybing back onto the sections 👍🏻👍🏻
A sarens driver damaged his brand new 450's hoist rope at Trafford Centre A few year ago, on offset fly - no wheel being normal fly, didn't put the rope and headache ball where you normally would, and to the side. When he was heading back from having just rigged, it dragged the block toward the crane, but because it was also to the side, it pulled the rope OFF the sheave into the retaining bar... and the side of the sheave area. It caused the rope to pull INTO the side plate, which didn't have enough room to the sheave, is the rim edge bit INTO the rope. Saw the whole thing, and the INTU lads (who operate Trafford Centre) watching couldn't believe it. Also, no board down on the tarmac, so dragging the non-hydraulic fly for its 40 degree offset damaged the road too. I was LAUGHING.
@@Cranebrain Sometimes, you even have to do hairy-as-fuck re-reeves.... I had to go onto a roof of a building to re-reeve my 50 grove once. (... it was low, thankfully, just the roof over the ground floor extension) because I was rigged between telephone wires, and last job was a no-room one with a heavy lift so on 7 falls... This one was just 120kg telecomms antenas so.... had help to keep some tension on the cat-end of the rope whilst I dropped it down right to the one, then tele'd out then derrick to maintaining radius. 50 grove, and left stick was slew ONLY. tele and derrick on the right! so one or t'other.

good video mate, when you roll the luffer out on that crane cant you just use the reaving winch connected to winch 1 and put it in auto until its flat?
Not sure tbh mate I’ve never used auto

Love it 👌🏻
Cheers brother 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
Well done mate great video
Glad you enjoyed it thanks a lot mate 🤟🏻
What are the wings out of the main boom for? What do they do?
Good question mate in a nutshell they provide extra tension on the main boom giving you better duties 🤟🏻🤟🏻
Cracking contents this brother go pro a great idea keep posting
Cheers bro 🤟🏻🤟🏻
Should do a run through the computer and all the different icons, I know the normal operating screen because I drive liebherrs but not everyone would know and I’m sure some would !
Good idea pal I can deffo do that appreciate the suggestion 🤟🏻🤟🏻
Great insight into your work

Amazing so simple but totally make sense 👍🏻
