Hey this is what I do for a job.
Less so tower cranes more so crawler cranes but I've done jt for 15 years.
Construction workers don't do the job they hire in people like me who specialise in this
Worked across the street from an outfit like yours for 5 years. Never saw a crane coming or going, hell, never seen one being assembled. Y'all sneak out in the middle of the night, right?
Yeah a lot of late starts early mornings etc.
They're also made to go together so with a good crew you can really smash them together in no time
Not who you were replying to, but I've worked in the industry...
Kinda, yeah. They want them set up super early in the mornings on site so they can get to work.
Also, lots of them move from site to site directly without returning to the yard. Some of the bigger tower cranes are booked years in advance, so there's really only down time if a job finishes early.
.........but how?
ha! you really thought he would tell you
Put myself outta a job haha
I can't tell you if I did I would have to kill you.
Nah just lots of trucks often another mobile crane and some good organisation skills.
Along with pins and sledgehammers
draw a circle of transmission fluid where you want the crane and chant CORANON SILARIA OZOO MAHOKE
what no you turn back into creative and either build a crane cause you can double jump to fly or you can download a mod for the crane and just spawn one
And do NOT chant MAGOKE.
Seriously. Unless you want to irradiate 30 city blocks.
Unless you're an ironworker, I've built many a crawler crane from LTR-1220's to LR11000's.
Presumably they bring someone in to make sure its correct?
Yeah, the crane company/rental service will inspect it. Maxim, Barnhart, Bay Crane, those types. Sometimes they'll assemble it but not always. Even those inspections will fail sometimes. We had a guy miss one side of a connector on a pendant bar and the inspector signed off on it- the connection snapped and the boom was only being supported by one pendant line leaving the boom hanging at a 45 degree angle.
Damn that's a big fuck up, rule one is take all your shit down with you and make sure you have. Rule two is make sure all the pins are in and retained. Everything else is optional really haha
crawler cranes...? like baby cranes? how cute
I like to think of then as the big boys cranes.
That's a 320tonne Sany lifting a piling module. I took that photo while standing on a 450tone one on a barge the other day
