    My first duty station in the Navy after graduating from air traffic control school was Kodiak, Alaska. Periodically a cargo ship would arrive and would need to be either offloaded or loaded or both. The call would go out for a working party to assist with this effort. I was part of this working party several times.
    Your points you made about situational awareness are excellent! You’ve got to keep your wits about you. It’s really easy to get hurt!

    Hi Joe. I really like your videos. You do a great job teaching people what it is like at sea. I dreamt of it as a kid. In the 80's the opportunities were far, few and in between. You had to know somebody to get in. I became a Union Carpenter and am almost ready to retire. I have been an avid Lake Michigan sailboat sailor most of my life. Every time I see the big ships, I think...wow....I so wanted that trade. But I'm ok with my 30+ years in commercial construction. I'm glad you are sharing your experience in a humble way. Great job!!

    Informative and entertaining as always. Love cranes. Years back my neighbor had a 40-year-old Pin Oak taken out. Very close to both houses. They brought in a huge crane on wheels. Actually, had to take out a hedge to get it in close. Lifted 8-10 foot sections of that tree and dropped it neatly onto the street. Hello from sunny Oregon.

    5:29 It looked as if your camera was attached to the block facing toward the hook; that's an interesting camera angle providing a unique perspective. Your signalman, Jeff, gave clear, concise signals that were easy for the crane operator to see at a distance. That was a good technique.

  • @tgreyfox
    @tgreyfox 12 дней назад +2

    Was on a laker once and signaled for more slack to toss off a mooring like. The mate went the wrong way and I almost found out what life without fingers was like. Got back after we were backing off and she asked “did I get you?” 😳

    Haha … cranes. I was working on a supply boat in the Gulf of Mexico. We hauled a huge Caterpillar generator to a super tanker. The crew on the super tanker wanted to only use slings. Our captain kept arguing with them that they needed to rig at least spreaders but the tanker crew refused. So, two wirerope slings on opposite corners of the skids of the generator. Our captain told us to be ready to bail over the side when the generator flipped and got squirrelly. Sure enough, in 6-8 foot seas, the crane operator lifts the generator a few feet off of the deck. It immediately flipped and started getting bashed to pieces on our deck as we moved up and down relative to the tanker. Captain was on the radio yelling to lift, lift. Then the operator instead of swinging over the stern, swings over the boat and wheelhouse. Cap ordered us to hang by our hands over the side of the wheelhouse. Then the cussing back and forth ensued.

    Thank you for this safety video on CRANE types and mostly operations 😊❤ great job. When I bought my used 1978 Backhoe the backhoe end did NOT have a solenoid valve to stop the boom from dropping if a Hydraulic line split open. Very dangerous, there was a opinion in owners manual to show two valves on each side of control levers to LOCK out hydraulic flow. My backhoe dropped suddenly when one of my hydraulic lines cracked from age and blasted Hydraulic fluid all over me. After that I only do any lifting ( craning) with the front loader bucket. It has TWO hydraulic rams on each side so it will not drop uncontrollably
    Its a lesson I investigated on all equipment to see if they had safty solenoid for preventing the hydraulic from dropping a load you lift, or do you have a redundant Hydraulic system in place to counter to loss of fluid from one cylinder.
