55 Tons of Tree Chopping Fun! First job with Eastside Tree Works New Crane

In this video me and the boys at Eastside tree works take down a big Fir with our new crane. The old one was a 38 ton with a 127' stick and this is a 55 ton with a 151' stick.

Around 20:45 when Brian accidentally hit you the fact that you didn’t get mad and just kept it as a learning experience for him shows a lot about your character and how you’re trying to teach instead of criticize. Love it man

[@moldy_banana5015]

What is your last name?

[@lazww]

Brian didn’t accidentally hit him. The guy cutting the tree is also dogging the crane. The crane driver can’t see what you see from on the cab. The guy rigging the load should communicate with the crane driver until he has a clear view of the hook. The guy in the tree needs to do some dogging training. “Yep” doesn’t mean stop. And asking what he wants to do? The crane driver is literally just pressing the buttons you ask him to.

[@chad3088]

@@lazww he did accidentally hit him because he went to fast or didn’t go high enough lol, and he gave him a a learning experience instead of scolding him lol

[@lazww]

@@chad3088 you fundamentally don’t understand the job of a crane operator. “He went to fast” he is literally doing what he is told by the guy dogging the crane. The crane driver can’t see what’s happening at the hook and Its the dogmans job to tell him how to move the boom and rope so as to safely move the load away.

Like others have stated already, I love how you always tell the crew good job like when you told Kevin that you thought he was doing a really good job. I've been a laborer and I've been a foreman and now I'm a super. But it always made me feel like I was actually needed and appreciated it's so important to let your crew know that you are proud of the work they have accomplished. If more bosses would tell their guys that it would build self esteem and inspire them to WANT to work harder. Much respect to you guys and thank you for the amazing content you put out

Amen! .. and it is a skill and behavior that can be taught. I’ve realized that demonstration is always a great teacher, however, sometimes it’s best to teach those who are becoming leaders the benefits of acknowledging the contributions of others. If self esteem comes through achievement, then acknowledgement from a foreman and super, when deserved, serves as an indicator of achievement.

[@tonyfourpaws4511]

in a job like this you have to be professional no matter what. being loud or angry is bad for moral and harsh words and energy dig deep.

[@greggszyp7371]

Never put your stabilizers on sidewalks. There is no structural standards for sidewalks, no rebar, low psi mix. You would have been better off cribbing on the grass. It is less likely to suddenly break and cause the crane/load to shift.

[@guiltyoftreesoneastsidetre4792]

Thanks for the tip! I appreciate it :)

[@HBSuccess]

Yepper. You’re asking for disaster sidewalks could be sitting on any kind of mush and are seldom reinforced with anything substantial.

[@mikeclarklast8004]

The guys truck had one phat behind with those logs on.

[@tedgerstenslager2949]

Any place you put an outrigger down should have cribbing under it, dirt,grass sidewalks. I would use a sidewalk with a load pad or large area cribbing before I would trust soil. You need to distribute the footprint to the largest area you can make. You can never trust soil as being compacted properly to support an outrigger. When the boom is directed over that outrigger the load on that corner will skyrocket. For that new crane you should buy or make some 3x5x4" steel/concrete crane pads as the base, then crib as needed to level. Boom deflection will vary according to line load, as you get to use the crane you will learn about how much deflection for a given load. The jib will lower the available load capabilities and add to the deflection of the main boom just because of how it is attached. Always consult your load chart for proper capabilities.

[@chrissnoett3060]

That's good advice!

@@briankennedy1313 Yes it is intentional, a study was done on it the white noise alarm provides a more directional indication of where the truck is than the beeper. Some construction sites it is compulsory for trucks entering to have it.

@@chascarpenter5006 Most places cranes require periodic OSHA inspections and that could be discovered which would get a big fine.

AuMechanic another good point and I would think any crane owner would want to be more than diligent about inspections. And yeah I noticed the newer excavators I’m around have white noise. It is better because with those machines it’s just constant beeping.
