Assembling a Tower Crane - Part 1 (of 2)

[@wtfbuddy1]

Nice recap for the viewers and welcome back. Cheers

[@frfrpr]

Killer soundtrack and visuals. Haven't had this much fun watching and listening to a video. Thanks

[@HospitalConstruction]

You're welcome!

[@MickKearley]

I was a crane operator a demag ac1600 i put up loads of tower cranes it was wonderful knowing that the men assembling them put there trust in you that they would have all there fingers left at the end of the day presicion was perfection in my eyes

[@mistymick4905]

Hat’s off to the media company great for positioning the camera so well. The weather was fantastic too. A bit cold but perfect for erecting the tower crane. The crane erectors were very professional and well organised. Great base electrical panel with plenty of room to wire up the mains cable and fixed at the perfect height. Looking forward to part 2. 🇦🇺

[@RepayEvilWithGood]

Nice job. I had no idea exactly how much prep work went into setting up a tower crane! I simply fast-forwarded it and am looking for part 2 now.

[@gilb6982]

it is the firs time that i see so many little detail about a crane assembly Thank !

[@HospitalConstruction]

You're welcome!

[@rogerbivins9144]

My 1st construction job was on a 10 story building in Nashville 30+ yrs ago. The structure was built using a very large Manitowoc crawler and that operator was by far the loudest human on the planet which was handy because he regularly worked green riggers including me. Once while swinging close to the building, the hoist cable slipped into a snap clevice that was securing a safety net around the 8th floor. No way to unhook it but for a volunteer to ride the headache ball straight up and unlatch it. Cheers.

[@troymine6221]

So did you do it??

[@alocin110]

I always wanted to know how they put together the tower crane and how they dismental. This video is one of the best I have every seen. Hats off to these brave and skilled workers. What a great team work with full safety in vision and practice. Thank you so much for sharing this. I liked this video very much.

[@MrHellenas23]

Excellent video, with zoom ins, and showing all the details and all the steps. Please make more videos like that, for different phases of construction. LIke SOE, Foundation, substructure, superstructure phase, cocoon system, suspended scaffolds, demolitions, etc. Thanx. P.S. You dont need the silly music, natural sound will be best

Good lord, what a "knees week" video.

[@Tank-Battles]

Exciting start! Part 1 of the tower crane assembly process provides an intriguing glimpse into the intricate steps involved in erecting such a massive structure. Can't wait to see the rest unfold!

[@johnfnielsen5068]

Very interesting, I love the racks for the bolts, right where they need to be and not just tossed in a bucket, Very intuitive thinking in the design

[@kenmunozatmmrrailroad6853]

The machines AND the tradespeople are amazing 💪🏽

[@normanjones8089]

So happy to be a mobile crane operator. Just wouldn't want to be a town crane operator because of the heights. Especially during strong winds, I've heard that the crane sways badly at times. Been an operator for close to thirty years and guess i always shall be. Love operating cranes.

[@jottasantos5220]

Congratulations on your professionalism! Beautiful work! A big hug from Brazil!

[@authorjack]

It's amazing that only four bolts hold this entire structure together!

[@pavelvilsov2437]

how smoothly they work, it is very interesting to observe such processes in general, fitting-adjustment-marking work, = this is a very important noticeable moment to which they devote a lot of time . The music design of the video is top , it turned out very cool 😃😃😍😎👍

[@dakotafred1829]

Wow! Thats a lot of rebar!

[@cxldframe6964]

Idk. Might need more rebar!!😮

[@xwaram]

@7:40 a small crane needs to put together a big crane so it can put together the bigger crane 😅 love it!

[@randal_gibbons]

When I was 16 I got to ride to the top of one of these cranes in a two man basket. Taking the step from the basket to the cab was scary as hell. Then I got to watch the technician I was with walk out on the boom and repair whatever it was that was broken.

Great video I really enjoyed! It’s seems very interesting job all workers doing great job specially the guys to climb the tower to assemble the following sections.. But my question is what is the maximum age to operate these cranes seems like a job for strong men.

[@stevejesus6525]

Never seen union guys work that fast

[@shogun4218]

I am not going up there. Very interesting though. Watching from Central Florida

[@SWEETBINKY]

Spoke to soon. Saw their method of torquing those nuts on the crane sections

[@frankely6378]

What it looks like they are doing is actually tensioning the bolts. Which is the basic goal of torquing a bolt, but more accurate. It looks like the tool is actually grabbing the top of the stud and pulling it, then just run the nut down snug to hold the tension. This is a great way of doing this because it eliminates the big variable of the friction between the nut and the bolt, and it saves having to apply huge torque values.

[@mirkovicen5689]

Very nice video,good jobs mann.

[@wtflmaa7842]

You know you got a big crane when you need a crane to assemble the crane which will assemble the crane.

[@alanshamoun5577]

Ok, putting it together is one thing. I REALLY want to know how they get out down and out when the building is in place!

[@davidw3673]

You usually just need a bigger mobile crane. This one wasn't using all of his counterweight or jib, so it can probably take the tower down with the rest of the weights and jib on.

It always amazes me to watch the "big dogs" come in and work. Endless equipment and personnel. Didn't even get the slew stacked. No. Got guys futzing around greasing bolts at the job (that's a shop prep job). I suppose it doesn't matter if you own the mobile and you're milking it. Money gun go BRRRRRR.

[@SWEETBINKY]

Amazing construction in preparation to construct a building. Those crane segments appear to be 40’ each in length. Anyone know what the actual dimensions are?

[@ftaf08]

Peiner sections are 6 meters or just shy of 20 feet. These are double stacks or two at a time so 40 feet is about right.

[@SWEETBINKY]

What happened to the electric impact guns to torque down those bolts on the section? Would’ve loved to seen the torque wrench they used.

[@firesurfer]

Air or hydraulic. 37:23

[@andyvan5692]

@@firesurfer HYDRAULIC, look up how ships engine bolts are torqued, this is the same, a hydraulic jack supplies the 'squeeze', then they just do the nut up by hand (or tommy bar, etc), that's it, the nuts hold the 'squeeze' the expanding cylinders place on the joint, so no grunting from the workers!- the hydraulic pressure on the guage is the torque applied, NO MATHS needed, easy.

Most of the rebar is near the top for technical reasons. They add an extra layer of rebar because of earthquakes.

I'd expect they would need to let it cure aswell - but maybe a calculated risk as only adding vertical sections while it cures - didn't see how long after pour they started erecting

[@BohdanAstro]

Thanks a lot for great videos! What's exactly model of this Terex Peiner tower crane?

[@JackpotJeff]

I’m really surprised they were only hand tightening those bolts when the crane sections were going up.

[@nbuckanaga6840]

the tower needs to flex, its for contraction and expansion.

[@reedr1659]

Once the tower was stacked, it looked like the mobile flew the iron workers a Hy-Torque and extension cord. We don't torque until the whole crane is built out in many cases. The only difference is, we hit the nuts on with a knocker wrench as we're moving up, which is somewhat better than finger tight. The Hy-Torque is a fairly heavy unit, so you don't want to have to carry it up the crane. Torque and lower the unit as you go. It's a two person operation. One person manages the wrench and torque wrench. The other operates the hydraulic unit. We put a rope on the hydraulic pack to lower it down to the next platform.
