Oooommmmmggggg‼️‼️. There really needs to be a “Fans” page just for the crane operators😳😳. They are so darn brave…along with the rest of the workers who work on high rises‼️‼️

[@glennsmith3303]

I was on the 16th floor watching a building being constructed next to us for several months. On windy days you could you really how much that thing swayed especially when carrying a load. No way I could do that. I could not even do that if there was no wind.

[@kevingray3550]

With all that technology and engineering it's always surprised me that the crane operator has to climb hundreds of feet up vertical ladders to get to the cab. Surely it must be possible to fit some sort of lift mechanism? It only has to carry one person after all.

[@anarchyfork2676]

Even though it isn't as high, the tower crane outside my window has a lift for the operator. When it didn't have a lift, I always saw the operator taking breaks at every third

[@euphka7687]

I'm surprised that cranes haven't been fully automated or remotely controlled from the ground yet as the majority of hands-on work has been.

Most of the hands on work on the ground has not been fully automated. Not sure what you are thinking.

I'm still convinced these grow up from the ground..never seen one being put up or taking down they just seem to sprout up over night 🤔

[@Chaeley]

Don't mean to necro this comment, but it made me laugh because I completely agree. They really do sprout up like weeds. Looking at the immensity and complexity of it, I really do have no idea how they get it from place to place and do it so very quickly.

[@1keykneedeep]

Thats a job I would never even consider. Thats crazy.

[@scottmcguire5586]

The one thing that I have always wondered about. How do they go to the bathroom way up there?

[@danbailey8182]

I wondered that myself.

[@jared123123]

They crack the door and just let it fly. Takes a good few seconds before the people on the ground start feeling the rain and questionable hail . But for real likely have urinal style device somewhere up there for general use. Otherwise get the milk jugs ready for storage lol
