Hi Andy, I have watched coaster crazy for a good couple of years now and its one of the best around. You have mentioned in a few vlogs bout your day job and I have always thought that would make a great different secondary channel. And now you have done it, and its so far amazing. Hopefully one day you will be able to be on a park in your crane assembling a new coaster. Wish you all the best and looking forward to future content.

[@nopeace]

oh my god ive put off watching these because i didnt wana get obsessed.... its over im obsessed!!!

[@ThemeParkBazza]

[@williamcathcart387]

😂 this is why I operate an all-terrain mobile crane and not a tower crane.. whenever #2 comes calling i can hop right outta the cab to take care of my business lol

Respect to you Andy. I couldn’t walk around outside where the cab is. I’d get vertigo and feel like it’s tipping up 😩

Hi Andy, Only discovered you Coaster channel a couple of months back, but loving that and now this channel so much. Just listening to you in your cab whilst working makes me smile - such a great, happy guy. Can I just ask about being in the cab for 9-10 hours - going to the loo!?!?! I wish you every success with both channels. I use to love going to theme parks but don't get the chance so often now, so loving watching the joy and fun I use to experience through you. Love all the museum and other attractions too - keep them coming. All the best mate, look forward to every new vlog. Take care, Grant

[@cranecrazy]

Oh thank you so much for the lovely message ! I wee in an empty plastic bottle and empty it when I come down and make sure I have a poo before I go up

Hi Andy, just remember when you eat sweetcorn it’ comes out the same when you have a bob😅

nothing will stop a crazy free runner/climber from getting up a crane lol

No as it happens all the time even with padlocks and gates they can still get up, but it’s not easy to do

Great stuff. Can you recommend a reliable tower crane training provider , please ? Thanks.

[@michaelmcquiggan1252]

I worked on the power stations years ago but that looked like a set of kitchen steps compared to your job in the clouds I could never do that job buddy . I had 2 falls on the stations so I never climb a ladder now stay safe buddy .

Oh wow!

“This channels about getting straight to the point” - Waffles about coffee and training himself to not shit up the crane for half the video before getting to the title of the video 😂

I work as a refuse collector/ bin man at Derriford hospital in Plymouth I work Monday to Friday 8,00am to 4.30pm

[@TheeHitch]

Great video Andy, really interesting and different. That must be about the same height as a KMG Booster ride! It must take some nerve to climb that ladder for the first time though!

[@cranecrazy]

Yeah probably I tad shorter, this is only 35m tall

[@dakotagrown8619]

I just took my practical tower crane certification on Tuesday

[@cranecrazy]

Awesome

[@coletrain5778]

Hey Andy, love the video and I have just found you channel as I am looking to get into Crane operating. Would love cranes of that size/tower cranes. I have a couple of questions. What qualifications should I seek? and also without being too personal but pay wise what cranes would I need to be in that pays the most? is there always overtime with something like this? I am also currently in the process of obtaining my Class 1 HGV license as I have been advised its worth getting.

[@aduztom6699]

Never thought id be interested in watching something like this, but i find it quite fascinating tbh..what's the tallest crane you've worked on Andy?

[@keithlewis7706]

Say hello to Ben green for me lol

[@JAVXABLE]

Is that a champion scaffolding i see there? Lol iv got a falcon crain on my site.

[@cranecrazy]

Yes that’s the boys

[@JAVXABLE]

@CRANE CRAZY i know them colours anywhere!! Told our crain driver to look you up, he has got bored of his view now!!

[@ericlakota1847]

I'm a old iron worker and you guys are crazzy I would not want to run tower crane

[@cityeagle7603]

Really interesting vlog/channel Andy. I really enjoyed watching that and looking forward now to more. I couldn't do that due to a heights fear, respect to you for being able to.

[@cranecrazy]

Thanks 🤟🏻👍🏻👌🏻

[@oddsandwindsocks5905]

Really enjoying these Andy, will you be going g back to the other site. Are the ladders caged in so you cant fall outside the tower cranes core .

[@cranecrazy]

Yeah you can’t fall off the tower mate it’s pretty safe

[@davidm3569]

Good luck with this new channel. You certainly earn your money. Does it ever get you worried when the wind suddenly picks up? Anyway, nice one Andy 😀👍

[@cranecrazy]

Yes for sure, it can be a bit scary when you can see a thunderstorm heading towards the crane, I always stay up and ride it out lol

[@jeffmcgrath2202]

Good evening Andy I just found your channel I’m In Minneapolis Minnesota USA. I’ve done a bit of rigging in my old job it’s great to see it from the other end . I think I’ll give you a follow.

[@yamyamrob4130]

hi mt great channel really intresting - do you arrive on site once cranes built or do you have some say in its building

[@cranecrazy]

No I just turn up when it’s ready to go and then I go up with an independent safety inspector who inspects the crane to see if it’s good working order then it’s good to go

[@serseniucfelix]

At 14:14 do you need safety pins or cotter pins on those big bolts? just asking for a friend.

[@campbelljoiners]

Honestly I was waiting on you buying a Lucozade bottle 🤫😁

[@PaulSmith-on2ie]

You obviously don't suffer from vertigo, lol. Climbing these cranes must keep you fit 🙂

[@cranecrazy]

I still get a bit wobbly and my balance has never been great, just not scared of heights and yes it does

[@robb5834]

Had idea u put cam hooked bit so see load u move be cool

[@cranecrazy]

Yeah I won’t be able to do that as it’s unsafe

[@ironpirate8]

Hi Andy, probably not a new idea, but could you put a gopro on the trolley(?) looking straight down at the load? A few of those shots edited in might look cool. This is a really interesting subject!

[@cranecrazy]

Not able to do that unfortunately as there’s no way of securing it to the trolly

[@kylewhitham4185]

Enjoyed the video - paying to get my red card next month with Falcon as I want to take on a new career as a Tower Crane operator. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

[@Donuts_random_stuff]

You’ve been doing this about as long as I live, I’m 18 this month and 11 months ago you said you’re doing this 17 years. Funny to think that when I was a useless tiny person you where swinging a few tonnes around on a crane 😂

[@felixromero5907]

Great job!! I really enjoy ur video!! very interesting.. I live in the USA ! Do you think I coulld do this job at 54 years old that I have?? thanks for you commenting

[@ldus]

Hi Andy, how do you get started in this career and what's the salary like?

[@paulomeally1418]

Hiya been watching a couple of your videos.recently qualified as a tower crane operator how do i go about getting into the industry as i,m a newbie or rookie ?

[@benjamin-gx3dr]

Just subscribed- great content. Did you do a course? I’m very interested in starting up. Thanks

[@zallman7526]

Sorry if you mentioned, but are you involved with the initial crane setup at all?

[@cranecrazy]

No there is a dedicated team of tower crane erectors that put up the crane, they use a mobile crane to do this !! I just turn up on site when I’m needed to start work, sometimes we have to test the crane with test weights

[@zallman7526]

How did you become a crane operator?

[@emmettoliver]

Hello mate, I have worked as a shuttering carpenter for many years on site in London, but now I want to change my direction I'm 48 and was considering tower crane operator! I have been in touch with Falcon tower crane training center and I understand the training will take 9 days.. but what are my chances of obtaining employment as a tower crane operator on successful completion of the training? or is my age against me ? and also that I'd be a novice

[@alfonsjanason6872]

You need to do some cardio

[@Peterwrayadventures]

dont think I could walk around ouside the cab. Got to say I do like tuna and sweetcorn sandwich. Did you move from tadley cos your contracted out to other building sights? Assume your on a building site for a few days at a time?

[@cranecrazy]

Yeah I go wherever I’m needed, have worked all over the UK !! Some sites last 8 months some well over a year, my new site could be 2yrs

[@sergiozammel8261]

Hi mate, just found your channel, always wanted to know about what you guys do and how you get up there. All I can say is you got balls of steel climbing up and doing what you do. Id rather piss on a transformer myself lol. Stay safe up there.

[@cranecrazy]

Thanks for the comment

Been interested in a role on tower cranes any info how to get in to this industry would be much appreciated.

Basically need to do a 10 day tower crane course taken at a centre of based in the UK, there is a few around so do your research 👌🏻👌🏻 costs around £3,000

What are the regulations for personal fall protection? You don't seem to have a harness and clip onto a fall arrestor?

[@TheFrankyboy221]

Hi Andy do you sometime need to go a long the top level

[@cranecrazy]

Only to check if everything is ok and if there’s a breakdown

[@Electrickarl1]

What do you do for dinner and toilet btreaks

[@cranecrazy]

Well I take up a packed lunch or if I am on a big site with relief drivers then we come down and have food in either the on-site canteen or go off site and I pee in a bottle lol

I drive a forklift at the moment how would i start my career as a crane operator simular to one you are currently operating here? uk

[@3dprinterguy393]

Out of interest how many Hp/ power consumption are the motors on that type of crane thanks

[@cranecrazy]

I will find out as I’m not entirely sure as it’s an electric crane and runs off power from either a 240w generator or mains power

[@3dprinterguy393]

@@cranecrazy that sounds good I have always been interested in how they power them and stuff I guess the main black cable running all the way down is the main cable. thanks for the insight tho I cant wait to watch future vids

How do you get into this job, also do you travel around with the company

[@cranecrazy]

Do a 10 day tower crane course and yes I’ve worked all over the UK 🇬🇧

[@michaele1278]

Is that all that secures that crane into the ground is for small groups of bolts into concrete? Doesn't seem stable to me. Seems like it would be better to have other supports. I know it's probably completely safe, it's just to my untrained eye. It seems a bit less than impressive when compared to the height and size of the crane.
