Two rope clamshell part 2

[@rp1645]

Great job explaining the operation of a Clam bucket 😊 very great points about free fall control in a crane 😊 I was looking in my old Bucyrus Erie 30-H excavator owners manual. I collect lots of 60s & 70s series manual for those early Hydraulic Hoes. I own a 1978 Dynahoe 190. I just took off one of my front bucket Hydraulic rams. It leaking BAD. Very heavy The backhoe Wt. Is 19000 pounds. You talked about ( SANY) switching the swing control to Left side. On the 30-H Bucyrus It to was on left side. The big lever coming out of floor, was push it forward and back for swing. The top of the two levers have an AIR control pull up or down, for dipper & bucket. One pedal on floor was for power up boom speed out of ditch. Or it could be used for dipper and bucket more hydraulic power. There was a lever between the two foot pedal for power diversion for dipper ( pushing a pipe together or craning a load with dipper) again your explanation is A+ my crane operator friend 😊😊😊

Our 110t manitowoc has a separate load chart calling for 100ft of main and even wants us to remove the car body weights. We are currently setup full weights at 80ft with a 12klb clam digging coral in Miami.

Tagline reel you mention is called a rheumatic

[@steveallarton98]

Wasn’t it called a Rud-o-matic automatic tag line, as manufactured by the McCaffrey Ruddock company

I accept your correction when I was breaking in on old machinery, they never gave me the proper definition or spelling🤓

@@steveallarton98 totally understandable if I knew how to spell I would’ve been a grammar school teacher instead of became a crane operator

YOU OBVIOUSLY GOT THE WRONG CRANE FOR THE JOB… SO YOU SHOULD GET THE PROPER CRANE N START THIS VIDEO OVER.

A couple of things about this job, there is no other crane. I'm a one man operation and this is the only crawler crane I have. This is a construction job not a dredging job, that's why I'm using a construction crane. I only use the clamshell for rehandling material not digging that's why I'm using a smooth jaw and not a toothed bucket. This job is 12 miles from my house, I've been here 9 years and the big boss says I can stay until I retire so this is exactly the correct crane.
