My Dad was a proud 60 year member of Local 2375 in Wilmington ,CA. Dad passed away on Feb.15, 2019. Pile Butts are some of the hardest working people on the face of the earth imo

[@rayschmidt3388]

Sketchy crane my ass. That’s a bad ass rig for driving pile. I’ve run that rig. It’s a link belt truck crane (238) 125 ton. Perfect for driving batter pile along side the highway.

Drive it deep up n hur... side way...Dat way...yo way too! Batter up# some pile n mother earth.

Seems like a lot of body parts under heavy steel, lots of work to align as well. Glad we run Berminghammer setup, hanging leads are rare up here.

Nice work, fellow brother

Nice upload

I miss the sound of the load going down & that brake squeak . Nothing like those old friction cranes .

[@loadblock4995]

I have some videos of pile diving ( locals 49 & 1836)! Interesting to see the different ways and rigging! Work safe 🤙

[@jhuck8166]

Even with the earplugs, it seems like that would be deafening.

[@keithjohnson281]

The sound slappes you n in the forehead

I'm surprised California doesn't mandate the pile driver have tier 4 Emissions on it .

[@manfredvonrichthofen4738]

one thing i learned as a pile driver dont get into it with crane operator he has your life in his hands, if he wanted to be naughty you would have to pay.

[@dustinthewind3925]

What if he's pulling levers with one hand, and holding his cell phone in the other? I've worked with one that was notorious for that, had a few close calls with a free falling headache ball... was tempted to throw my 28oz into the cab many times.

I had many friends Cindy was one of my favorite ones Irish Mike and spider girl Sun Berry Bill witache Dave laine from Boston Ricky and his brother Ed. These people I respected no matter how mean they were to me 'Tex Mon Row" The two welders named Ed who were the top of the line, you had to run to keep up with them and they didn't even break a sweat they were that cool!

what happens if a pile cant go down anymore?

[@eugenesackman4314]

Cut it off with proper blade at proper height. Don’t forget to yell timber! Jump on forklift (not your Home Depot kind) and take remaining pile to recycle stockpile.

[@michaelsteffen4887]

Steady the fucking camera next time and show us the base of the pile at ground level so we can see each increment on the pile going in. ie; each blow! Yes, this is cool. We drive smaller piles with hydraulic hammers. 2-8 inch pipe and 6-8 inch WF

what's sad is Geo T's vote counts the same as the men/women driving piles. These are jobs that feed people- it is a great thing.
