lineman climbing 260ft transmission tower

[@thomasglessner6067]

You make the climb look easy. I will stay on the ground, Thank you. The work you guys do on these towers is so important. Every time I turn on a light I think about all the work that gets done correctly. Thank you for sharing the dangers you flirt with each day.

The linemen are the coolest and funniest people to work with in the world.

Amazing. Breathtaking view. Miles away from ordinary.

[@LeslieStyles-q4b]

It just scares me to watch these kind of videos. Nevermind climbing it. Wow your brave

Ist schon Wahnsinn eure Kletterausrüstung. Ich bin ja noch mit Hüftgurt hoch . Einer muss ja als Erster vorsteigen , um die Sicherungsleine zu befestigen ,die es damals nicht gab. Wir haben damals in meiner Zeit als Hochspannungfreileitungsmonteur in der damaligen DDR, 110kV- Leitungen mit der Arbeitsbühne oben abgespannt . 220kV und 380kV -Leitungen wurden mit Stahlseilen einreguliert, die mit Abspannklemmen am Leiterseil befestigt waren . Nach dem Einregulieren wurden die Leiterseile wieder abgelassen. Die Abspannketten wurden am Erdboden fertig gemacht und mit Montagewagen (Fahrstuhl) ,mit einem Zugmittel(Raupe) nach oben gezogen und in die Gelenke eingehangen. Kleine Nachregulage erfolgte über verstellbare Laschen .

Closest I come to this type of work, is listening to Glen Campbell sing Wichita lineman. I did a halo jump at night tho!

[@DisEthan]

can’t wait to become a lineman

Those two big hooks, you get them at Harbor Freight?

[@linemanatwork7948]

no from our company...

[@jthepickle7]

@@linemanatwork7948 Sorry, bad joke. They're, no doubt, very good quality, well tested hooks. Not something you pick up from China. I worked for Asplundh as a climber, we had pretty good equipment too.

Nice skills

He's just a lineman for the county, and he drives the main road searching in the sun for another overload.

Awesome 💪🙂👍

Впервые вижу ступеньки на опоре с внешней стороны уголка🤔 это просто счастье какое - то! Обычно степ -болты и то не везде... И опора до нижней траверсы усиленная из двух уголков.

[@joeisham6598]

This appears to be one hell of a leg workout. How many towers do you climb in an average day?

[@linemanatwork7948]

depends on what to do. maybe 1 mast sometimes 10...

[@cDUB111]

This is the most uncomfortable one I've watched!

[@linemanatwork7948]

Ok

[@dougtaylor7724]

Putting the smoking area up there on the tower seems a little mean.

[@vladimiralvaradolopez1112]

Mis manos como transpiran viendo el video xD

[@linemanatwork7948]

:-)

[@corydulski6970]

Hell to the fuck no. My feet are tingling and butts puckered from watching this.

[@Radio_Control0]

How do you climb that high without getting scared, id shit myself bro

[@linemanatwork7948]

Just fun...

[@joeisham6598]

So, you climb to the top just to make sure that it's still up there?

[@linemanatwork7948]

no. just to record the video.

[@christathellmann486]

Respekt Gott sei mit euch

[@MrMjym]

where was that tower

[@linemanatwork7948]

In Germany

[@LeslieStyles-q4b]

I would never climb that

[@anthonyray8601]

You get to wear shorts!!!!

[@linemanatwork7948]

Yes that's right

@@linemanatwork7948 В России если попадешься инспектору в шортах- будут проблемы...Обязательно должна быть специальная форма. Брюки у нас обязательны вне зависимости от того жарко на улице или нет...
