This is one of the best rigging vedio I have ever watched

[@dillonking2313]

It is a good reminder every now and then

Great video for us noobs. Nice and simple and super easy to understand. Half the difficulty is understanding the best path for the load. This explained it well.

[@nickgrange4378]

Kieran you seem like a bloody legend mate thanks for the hot tips for my upcoming dogmans course. Take care mate

[@kieranstraining]

Happy to help

Old mate, if you lower the hook first a couple feet from the load it is much easier to see where you actually are with the trolly, or boom. Nice video's its a lot of common practise. did some dogging in Straya, love how you guys talk to the crane operator, its more like music than I do it in dutch.. workwise just as smooth ofcourse.

Ive always found working in the blind ill give a rough distance to the op especially on small movements. I never say 'taps' or 'bumps', they are not distances, 'just over half a meter', '300mm' and '150mm' for example . 3m and 1m calls when travelling are good so the operator can catch his swing

[@bassamhasan379]

Great Video and amazing explanation. thanks mate

Hey mate, loving the videos. Nice to refresh my current knowledge and see a different trainers perspective on things. Can always learn…. I am curious though, that dunnage stack on the drivers front right, the 2nd level of the stack or last level should always be horizontal to the outrigger to prevent slippage, not inline with the outrigger, every other one was done properly bar this one! At least this is how I have stacked my dunnage and never been picked up on civil sites in NSW. That one outrigger is incorrect no?

[@craigfer6380]

Good work here well done. Two hands on that load. That's why you have a mike on your radio. Just about to touch down and I'm jibbing down on the brick cage. If you can, find a place in the blind, to practice.

[@bigjase8709]

What about the 3 peice feed Keiron!? Slew right boom down wire up as you go 😃 Great video buddy, very thorough.

[@kieranstraining]

Cheers mate but i figured I'd give the old fella pulling levers a break and it's hard enough teaching students to do two motions at a time let alone three

Best support craft in the world 🌎 Crane & Rigging DSCo.

[@kieranstraining]

I agree 100%

[@user-dt8ut1gd7j]

I like

[@brodyblane653]

I've always kept keyed in, while the crane is in motion. What if I had a brick knock me out, or had a stroke? The operator would keep moving by your method (5:54). Something to think about.

[@noahmira4788]

if you constantly communicate with the operator and give function speed and distance like a good dogman should, he will know when something is up and when to stop

[@rustyb2338]

Tag line and check pallet for rocks or other things that could fall

[@josheli3749]

Is that Multiskills??

[@kieranstraining]

Good pick up. It was back when I used to work for them

[@josheli3749]

@@kieranstraining I watched it a bit more after I commented and realised it was Multiskills. Would have loved to do the dogmas course with you, didn't realise you were Melbourne based

[@man.i.literally.failed6772]

What's more correct, saying rope up or hook up, I got cruisified for saying rope up on a job

[@sword0bearer]

I think there should be an angry bark for those who expect a perfect lift?

[@medolmshaoshasafetyman]

hopefully when you do use radios, you don't stop talking to the operator. when I operated in the blind, when they stopped communicating with me, I stopped. the signaler needs to think about what the operator is experiencing.

[@renettesunrise]

I agree, but they should leave times 'off' so you can answer. Had a guy who wouldn't let his finger off the radio and couldn't answer back lol. Very frustrating

[@mrinalbiswas3878]

Hi car I am Crane opather

[@spinnersink]

you look like a mall cop with your radio slung over your shoulder. hand set should be in your hand at all times amateur hour

[@zacschneider1035]

You're hilarious you nerd. Radio needs to sit somewhere, both hands used for rigging
