long reach/ working in the blind

[@martymorse2]

Keep up the great content Cameron. Appreciate you taking the time to not only let us watch you work but to also explain all the finer points of what you face each day. Be safe out there on the job and keep up the great work with your videos.

That what i use to do i pick an object if im going back to the same area & its a plus when you have a good rigger when your working in the blind also ! Stay safe !!

Wow that looks like a high pucker factor working long reach with a wall in your face

How do you like the Sany? My company has a few of them and I'm scheduled to get one on the next job. I'm currently in a LB248 with 220ft, I'm moving to a 300t Sany with luff.

@@Pv2GabeMcD I like the Sany it seems to work well. The two problems I've had are these; the load chart does not offer every configuration, different combinations of boom section or counter weight, blocked crawlers, list chart etc aren't there or are hard to find. Electrical issues are the only break downs that I've had and they have all been problems in the wiring harness, usually shorts or broken wires.

@cameronturner7475 I've noticed with our Sany RTs that they don't hold up well to abuse and neglect (which makes sense). The fit and finish on the machines is really where that is exemplified. But the telecrawlers that we have are great machines to cover down on. Those cranes didn't leave me wanting anymore from them. The RTs had their fair share of electrical issues, so much so that our mechanics did their own wiring fixes. I ran a 120t crawler that had all the labled controls in Chinese that took some practice to get used to, then they sent over to a linkbelt. Your channel is great, and I'm glad I found it. Keep up the good work!

The placement of car body weights in this application and tonnage of crane I’ve never noticed a difference in location effectiveness. I’ve operated terex(land and water), Kobelco, and manitowoc in the 100 ton full ctw configuration. I would be interested to see you test your theory in a controlled situation. I think you could yield highest capacity over the front using wedges under your toe. Liebherr carbody (1200&1250)weights are the best IMO, they cover such a large area it’s like a whole deck to walk on and they are high enough that when you get in trouble sinking the don’t fall off. To be honest those cranes are so nice I wish I never ran one! ✌️ great videos by the way!

[@cameronturner7475]

The bad thing about sany is they don't give any chart for blocked crawlers. I do have blocks and use them when I'm working max cap over the front but there's no extra chart like Manitowoc has. Also they don't have a stability diagram they just say this gives greater stability when working off the side.

Excellent video… I like the information. Some day I hope to operate a tracked crane. For now I have to keep sending materials on our 81’ boom truck.

[@jamesmoran8335]

I like when they tell you to carry the load when you can’t see it. 🤦‍♂️ Give me one function at a time please!?! You can get a feel for how much you’re carrying but it’s usually still kinda iffy. And I’m not a big fan of using my phone and Bluetooth when I’m in the blind because it seems like there is a delay

[@cameronturner7475]

Yeah, boom down and hold the load is a pain when you can't see the becket. I try counting the clicks but that doesn't tell you how fast the boom is moving. And I agree that there's some lag on the phone system. I usually carry two or more radios but that's the radio guy in me.
