They're truly my favorite type of crane ever. I just love their sleekness and how they traverse across the factory floor like a floating bridge!

[@stevelavis473]

Loved the video. I was a Crane Driver for 30 yrs at TATA STEEL port talbot works..I loved my job.. and I loved the beast I operated.i miss my job o much

[@LiftingandRigging]

Thanks for the comment, Steve! We're big fans of TATA Steel. We got the opportunity to work with them on this case study that focused a few different fall protection projects: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYXUdaeoZtiKiLc. It's always awesome to see someone like Mark who is consistently looking for ways to improve the safety for their workers. Enjoy the rest of your week! - Devon

[@ranjithrk1906]

I did watch this video it's more helpful for me... why because I knew lots of information from this video... you can much more crane related videos upload here more helpful working in this field crews... anyway I'll waiting for your upload videos... well done... 🎉

[@SegoMan]

What an uplifting video...

[@LiftingandRigging]

I see what you did there. Nice.

[@zunedog31]

Nice presentation. You're exactly how I pictured a crane salesman would look haha. My company is known for its gantry/overhead cranes (Newport News Shipbuilding) and we just replaced one that was at least 100 years old.

[@LiftingandRigging]

Ha! I'll let Chris know that he's nailing the proper look of a Crane Salesman. I've gotten to work on a few projects with our branch down in Virginia Beach, and the sight of Newport News as you drive past it is one of a kind. One of my favorite places to work on projects just because of the scale of everything is massive. Form the size of the outdoor gantry cranes to just the volume of ships, the whole area is incredible! Have a great week and congrats on the 100-year replacement. -Devon

[@joshzscheile7033]

Well I work at Kawasaki kmm n run 5 ton/ tonne cranes nice video helps show ppl what I do

[@LiftingandRigging]

Hopefully you shared it during the holiday season! Typically when we get asked what we do, we just grab our phones and play one of these videos. Total time saver!

[@brucewinningham4959]

Are the parts or components from one overhead crane manufacturer very interchangeable with those components from another overhead crane manufacturer? FOR INSTANCE: A trolley probably cannot be mounted on a bridge girder by a different manufacturer because each has their own designs and specifications. Would this be correct please?

[@GundoganFatih]

Hey bud, thanks for the video. I've seen in electrification part that you're using Yaskawa inverters in ... What is the reason?

[@LiftingandRigging]

Thanks for watching and for the question! We scrubbed through the electrification section and didn’t see any Yaskawa inverters you mentioned. If there was a Yaskawa in there, it was supplied with the hoist or bridge panel and we can’t necessarily force the supplier to change their standard to suit. Hope that answers your question!

[@EMMAY-wq4un]

good presentation for expain bridge crane

[@LiftingandRigging]

Glad you think so!

[@sovereignjocker2556]

It would have been nice if the sound of the background music was low or not there. Was difficult to hear the explanation.

[@LiftingandRigging]

Totally appreciate that feedback! We updated a version of that video that should help with some of those audio issues you mentioned. Check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYOlgaSppZakmNE

Hi! I Want for TMT Steel Loading & Unloading, How Much would be the Cost for Lowest Tonnage available

[@LiftingandRigging]

Hi! You're welcome to head to: www.mazzellacompanies.com/Contact and reach out to one of our lifting specialists. They'd be best suited to discuss your lifting application and discuss pricing with you. Thanks!

[@RashidKhan-pg1gj]

Please make a video on tower crane.

[@LiftingandRigging]

Coming soon

[@TheOmarOtmane]

Great video, just lower down the volume of music

[@victorino7926]

Good day sir, how much should be the budget if we buy the 10 tonner overhead crane including the installation? We are from the Philippines.

[@LiftingandRigging]

Hi, we have an updated video on this. Unfortunately I do not know the market for the Philippines, but you can use this video as your purchasing guide. www.mazzellacompanies.com/learning-center/what-is-the-cost-of-an-overhead-crane/

[@geo2825]

What is the possible problem of having sound at the roller driver when it run high speed?

[@LiftingandRigging]

Hey, George, thanks for reaching out. We put together a video on 5 common problems with Overhead Cranes. The second point might be what you're hearing (directly linked here-->) kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4CXiJmPebSKrtE If you'd like to schedule a Crane Service Technician to take a look, you're welcome to head to www.mazzellacompanies.com/Contact/Service-Division and fill out the contact form. Best, Devon

The breaks or the Bearings might be giving out.

[@danab172]

I'm going to apply to an overhead crane operator job without any experience. What are the chances I get hired? I really need/want to do this at this time. Wish me luck!

[@LiftingandRigging]

Absolute best of luck with the interview today, Dana! A lot of companies will provide on-the-job training to get prepared for the task. Definitely be honest with your interviewer(s) today. Attempting to operate an overhead crane system without proper training is a very dangerous practice and one we don't recommend what-so-ever. I'm going to drop a few links that might help you out though as you pursue this. This is a lifting and rigging best practices infographic - www.mazzellacompanies.com/Resources/Blog/rigging-best-practices-overhead-lifting-infographic These are some useful guidelines for riggers - www.mazzellacompanies.com/Catalog/Slings-Assemblies/Use-Guidelines-For-The-Rigger And this article was written by Al Abel, one of our Top Trainers here at Mazzella, about how to properly rig a load - www.mazzellacompanies.com/About/Articles-Press/Good-Rigging-Like-Playing-Golf-CHM-Nov-2017 Hope these resources help a little. You might be able to find some overhead crane operator training online, but that's something I haven't gotten the chance to do yet (but I absolutely have on my radar). Again, best of luck to you today and Happy holidays! - Devon

[@user-zf2po7hf8z]

The music is very distracting - prevents encoding as it's requiring additional cognitive resources. This content is really great but hard to pay attention to for this reason. I'd delete the sound in future training videos :)

[@LiftingandRigging]

Noted!

[@user-up4ui2gh2b]

You're information was really great, but the music was very distracting. You don't need it and if you want background music, please turn it down and your voice up.

[@anybody0077]

your voice sound is low; in the video.

[@shiijei2638]

I would like to politely suggest to turn down the music. There are points in the video where you can't really hear what the gentleman is saying.

[@krissamsalazar6726]

Next time spent a little bucks for you to have a microphone on your body🙂🙂

[@jamesstewart4457]

The loud music makes it hard to hear him. He obviously didn't listen to video before posting.

[@Acksakal]

Never mix music with a narrative, dude. NEVER!

[@LiftingandRigging]

Hey, thanks for the comment! This was one of the earlier videos we made (almost 3 years ago now, wow!) and we definitely heard some feedback about dialing back some of our audio in the projects we produce. Have a great week!

[@Acksakal]

@@LiftingandRigging I agree, but I got so much pissed off that I just had to share my opinion. Sorry, and thank you for the products you make.

[@LiftingandRigging]

@@Acksakal Nothing wrong with sharing your opinion. The goal is for this channel to be a helpful resource to everyone in the material handling industry. If we're not listening to the feedback from our viewers, then we're doing something wrong.

[@LiftingandRigging]

​@@Acksakal Good morning! I wanted to follow up with you real quick on an updated version of our "What is an Overhead Crane" video. Check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYOlgaSppZakmNE When I was working on this online cranes 101 course, I went through some of the comments on these older videos and wanted to make sure we took a different approach to the way we recorded audio and layered in the track. So hopefully this version works a little better for you. Thanks again for the feedback and I hope you enjoy the rest of your week! -Devon

[@michaellonghurst7291]

Can do without the loud background music

[@Mansoor077]

Stop using background noise not able to hear what he's saying

[@resume1009]

the sound quality sucks on this video. You can barely hear the narrator over the headbanger guitar music.

[@LiftingandRigging]

Hey, Dennis! Thanks for watching! Sorry to hear you had trouble hearing some of the narration. Hopefully the added text on the screen helped you understand some of the points Chris was trying to make. Definitely check out some of our other videos! We're using much different audio equipment now than we did in the early days which has helped with the audio quality. Best, - Devon

[@LiftingandRigging]

Hey, Dennis! Wanted to follow-up with you on an updated version of our "What is an Overhead Crane" video. Check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYOlgaSppZakmNE I know you had mentioned the sound quality being less than optimal. So when I was working on this Cranes 101 project, I wanted to make sure we switched up the way we recorded audio and layered in the backing track. Hope the new one works a little better. Thanks again for the feedback! -Devon
