Texas, non-union …😢 I would quit on the first day, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. 😢 I will never buy Crosby ever again now that I know.

Although quite a limited view, isn't the hook attached while being incorrectly oriented at 0:32?

Crosby products ( hooks, end hardware, etc) not just shackles are the best. Used them for about 30 years.

I was just talking about this place the other day because of the insane amount of heat in that frikin place! As an inspection and maintenance professional, I was hired to a local company who sent me out there to keep the dynos and certs up to date. Anyway, those giant steam hammers are unbelievable! They literally show up on the seismograph and had me convinced i was experiencing an earthquake when I first stepped foot on the ground in the distant parking lot. I have to give it up for those poor fokes who deal with that hellish heat in there. Ya'll some bad dudes!

I've been a career mechanical engineer for 30+yrs. Have done mostly plastic and stamped metal part design. Have always felt that closed die forging is the most badass of all manufactuirng processes. Thanks for putting this awesome video together!

when did y'all have time to develop the web browser?

I love me some sheckles

how long dose the drill and taps last ? how dose the rotary tumbler not dent / damage the shackles

Crosby represents some of the best in American manufacturing. Thannk you!

An item taken for granted, and your 's and other lives can depend on them.

Worked at Crosby-Laughlin in the 1970's in downtown Portland, Maine. No automation. Back then, there just hot steel and incredible noise from the hammers. In the winter, you could stand 20F on one side and near 1500F on the other side. It was so loud, you could hear the hammers blocks away. Very dangerous, dirty work by brave men.

I insince of Crosby in all my rigging. Anything else will never be used. Lives depend on them.

I was in Navy Diver and we would use these shackles and stuff for doing screw changes in the water when you have to lift at 28 foot 65,000 pound propeller take the old one off and put the new one on and you have divers in the water can get one from China

I prefer the Asian factory videos. Just nice, close views of the production, and NO TALKING!

They don’t make all their dies in house. My shop has made a few. Along with several gauges.

I wouldn't make a lift with any other brand shackle.

I work at the lifting division of Xtek Canada and we use Crosby products almost exclusively. Lives depend on our equipment so its important to have THE best. With off shore products, you can never be sure of its quality. With Crosby, we know we can rely on its durability.

Need to elaborate, no visual difference between the two. How does it work?

Just started running a big crane 15 ton for the first time a week ago but before that I ran a 1 ton crane for 4 years and tell you what the 15 ton crane is ten times harder to use by far

gonna buy a 35 ton shackle for my f250 i have a 135,000pound towing rated kinetic tow rope, i do alot of recovery on the beaches of corpus christi and galveston, recently pulled out a work truck that was LOADED to the gills with work tools, truck weighs 21,000 pounds, hooked up his 50 ton shackle to my truck with my kinetic rope gave it a good tug and he came right out:)

Excellent video!

I'd buy a product from North Korea before I'd buy anything from shit hole tejus.

Hello from Anna Texas! Crosby shackles is what my company uses. Great to see the work that goes into one of these units.

Got a feeling she ain't from Texas

She always knows when to lube my "crane"

I wonder if they use AWF? 🤔

Excellent video ! I've used your shackles for decades never had a problem with any of them. Given a choice Crosby is always my first choice for hoisting work. Thank you for the factory tour !

So glad to see this finally posted. We at Crosby take great pride in our work. Thank you for coming and filming!

Love from holland,love usa.❤❤❤❤

Good the more care of wire the longer lasting

Wtf! I walked past a crane yesterday, looked at the cable joint and wondered how long it would last, how it would be maintained and how you would assess when it needed replacing. Is Instagram reading my mind?

Made in America by Americans

Such great work and information on an amazing process. Everyone involved are amazing people and it is such a great video! Very informational thank you.

I worked in crane repair in a steel mill. We never lubed the cables more than what they came with, which wasn't much at all. We changed them very often based on the number of lifts, but occasionally, our inspectors found broken wires, making those cables a priority.

it's a glorified brake slack adjuster

„Crosby Shakles“ Company is 160 years old… „LASCO Umformtechnik GmbH“ (Hammer/forging machines a.s.o.)Made in Germany, too… 👍👍👍😎

6:30 will the forgings not deform from being dropped one meter while red hot?

real parts made by real men. ?

Good work. I think you guys will get more subscribers if you guys also upload safety tips and procedures when you use these tools.

pulley driven cranes are so cool, and the steel trusses theyre made of are just as impressive. man, i love engineering and physics.

Seeing the robots in this setting was pretty cool imo

Hello,help me by making a video of deflect tests of double overheads and single gantry cranes

Being a Mazzella employee, do we get a discount on Crosby?

The world would stop without wire rope.

How do you calculate the degree that your off on your lift

I am totally clueless. 😅 Here about chains info for exercise, and every time they talk about overhead lifting, I'm sure I was thinking differently than they!

U are talking, and the music is loud in the background . It is a little bit annoying , if you just talked, it would have been so much better.

I got looking around at sawhorses thinking Toughbuilt is the strongest... Then i stumbled across this video. Found the holy grail of sawhorses.

How'd he get the 5.85 tons🤔
