They Forgot The Crane What Can The Excavator Do

[@mr.shannon6137]

At this point Bealy might want to consider buying or renting a large telehandler. I worked construction for a large portion of my life. Having one of those machines on site was a necessity. An all terrain forklift, boomtruck, and man lift, in one. Saves a lot of money in boomtruck and crane rental. Saves a lot of time and work in general.

[@chrisestill8825]

A 10k telehandler can do 90% of the work people usually get the other equipment for.

[@BealyGood]

@@mr.shannon6137 I’ve been looking. Only thing I don’t like is if you put a basket on the telehandler, you can’t control it from the basket. I might buy a digger Derrick with an 80’ boom

[@omw-bavaria]

​@@BealyGood but there are Telehandlers that can be controlled from the basket. I dont know for the US market as I live in Germany, but just last week I worked on a Manitou, Model MRT Roto if i remember right, that has a basket with remote control (attached to the basket similar to a lift). Only goes 80% or so in maximum speed for safety reasons, but thats still plenty and just as fast as a lift. And you can get a wireless remote also, use it with a winch on the boom like a crane.

[@faelsinnes]

​@@BealyGood thats why you need a good driver , no controls in basket.

You are a handy dude to have around. Geoff's nephews learned quickly and were very helpful in hooking those beams up efficiently for you. Thanks for sharing, Chris.

What would Bealy Good do without you? I’ve never seen a house being built with ICF Blocks, steel and so much concrete before. It’s an interesting project. This house is going to be nearly storm proof when it’s finished.

[@cathiwim]

Watch Jesse Muller, a friend of Andrew Camerata, in Saugerties NY. He built a 2 story house with full basement and the entire thing, including roof, is ICF! Fascinating build

[@youbuyweplant]

Fantastic video, Chris! Coordination between you and the guys on the ground was awesome. In the beginning the on ground guys were par (trying to do their best). With your instruction, from years of experience on your part, they became a part of the team to make things happen. Mutual coordination on any project is a must. Thoroughly enjoyed watching your video!

I never got to play wit LEGO'S. I had the LINCOLN LOGS and a ERECTOR SET along with the TINKER TOY'S now my three year old grandaughter is playing with those same Lincoln Logs and Tinker Toys. As a young boy I had my own Construction Co. I built roads roads while NCDOT was building our road. That was back in the middle 1950's. I even ate lunch with the prisoner's on the CHAIN GANG. You have made a lifelong friend and customer in Colonel Bealygood. Keep up the fantastic work.

Quite sure that Mike and Aaron could spend a rain day in the shop and conger up a great boom attachment for your excavators.

[@r1mein54]

You always find a way to have fun on Geoff`s job. Y`all need to learn to put a tag line on every lifted item. Lego blocks and putting an erector set together makes this a rich man`s toy. Now you can pick up side work as a lift operator when not being Pond Master or land clearing.

[@DeathLetterBlues44]

What can the excavator do? Play crane for the day. Time to buy a long reach.😎😎😎😎

[@harrykeel8557]

At the first of the video Mr. Bealy Good compares build to leggos. I think it's more of a concrete and steel erector set.

[@Huskiedrive361]

A length of rope with a snap hook on one end makes a great hand line to help control beam during lift. Snap hook makes a easy on easy off connection.

Do excavator makers (Volvo in this case) give you a distance/load limit chart like for a real crane? Or is this "not part of the Operators Manual"? just curious (yes I know in this case the load is tiny)

[@erikcourtney1834]

Excavator is always superior to a crane…. When it’s within reach and within weight capacity. Only a few “cranes” can do what an excavator can do off road and even travel with the load. Let’s not get into pricing.

[@helenhelps9619]

Doesn't the building department require them to have safety caps on the rebar sticking out of the walls? I thought they had to have them to keep someone from getting impaled by falling on the rebar.

Question...explain sitting next to a parallel trench,, been watching you 4 yrs now, never heard you use that term

[@infinitepaul]

I imagine it has something to do with the weight distribution of the excavator and the possibility of the trench wall collapsing.

[@simongeering]

When the tracks of the excavator are parked parallel inline with, and close to the edge of an open trench or pit then 1/2 the weight of the machine is exerting forces on the relatively weak and unsupportive side wall of the excavation. If parking at right angle to the trench the only a smaller % of the weight is in the same risk area, at a guess approx 20% rather than the 50% when parallel. So there is less chance of the wall of the excavation collapsing and the machine with it. In the UK at least, excavations over a certain height must be reinforced with steel shearing supports.

[@randyc3934]

@@simongeering ok gotcha,,thanks

[@mickbaker2483]

Hi Chris you did exceptionally well with what you had and also saved geff a lot of money and time on his build, it's fantastic to watch you working and working with what you have it may or may not been easier than it looks I've slung beams with a excavator and it can be stressful but you stay so cool and calm I tack my hat off to you with everything you do. thanks for another fantastic video.😊
