No disrespect to the hard working men in this video. They're busting their butts in horrible conditions hoping to make it home safely. However, these are the people we, as the American workers, are competing with! As a country do we believe in living wages and a safe work environment? Were told that we can't compete in a global market. Not hard to see why!😢
@N5KDA9 ай бұрын
You sir, are correct. The only way to compete with that is to make about twice what they make (it still cost a lot to ship that crap here), and work under the same conditions. As dirty as everything is, I can't believe they are getting good welds on that. It also looks like several of them will be blind after a little while too.

The reason places like these can produce cheaper products than westernised countries is because they can replace men cheaper than replacing proper safety gear. Here in the UK you need boots, googles, hard hat, ear protection just to watch the workers work excluding the 3 hours of safety training prior to viewing. And also missing from this scene is the health & safety officer, the quality control officer, the heavy equipment officer, the pre fabrication manager, the product manager, the materials inspector.....need I go on? Yes 200 years ago we were producing similar in similar ways but we threw all that away with unions and then political correctness and/or profiteering ............our own fault[s].

Clearly this is in Pakistan or Bangladesh judging by the cloths that some are wearing. It appears that machinery and building were from when Britain ran the country. Its also clear that very little maintenance to the machinery or building has been done since then. I would guess that the steel comes from ships that have been disassembled. They must be given credit for working with crap gear and making a product that is no doubt cheep. What amazed me the most was the man welding without a mask.

What is amazing is that the occupational health and safety procedures are still in the 19th century and I can't see any maimed or crippled workers. I used to be a roll forming machinist and one of my assistants tried (recent refugee on government subsidy program) to kill me deliberately with a 5.7 tonne roll of coil on an overhead crane and I itched the underneath of his nose with my steel cap boot (inspired by Bruce Lee in Enter The Dragon). He was asian had a background in martial arts and only stopped his dangerous carry on when he was challenged by someone with superior martial arts skills. We later became friends. That would never have happened if we had such "amazing" skills and workplace...

3:13 I think I would’ve gotten the axle first with the crane, put it in the coil, and then brought it to the fixture to be unrolled. That’s two Riggings versus three. But you could argue, it is longer distance to travel and that crane seemed pretty slow so maybe it’s a wash.
@Vincent_Sullivan8 ай бұрын
As I watched the video that was my first thought. It seemed the slow way of getting the job done. That being said, note the way they lifted the axle with hooks in the end of the axle. That would not have been safe with the coil on the axle due to the large weight of the coil. They would have needed different rigging and that would have cost money!
