Feel free to leave any comments good or bad they are all welcome and I will try my best to answer any needed.
Thanks and enjoy

Those cranes have a hell of a lighting system!!!
The cranes have fantastic lights, like daylight on our night shift. Digger operators know exactly when we are coming in thats for sure. 😜🤙
Amazing process. My dad hauled pulpwood back in the early 80s. I find this relaxing...
Glad you enjoyed it, Their will be more in the New Year so keep watching. Merry Xmas
Looks hilarious sped up. The digger pitching those logs around like match sticks 😅 excellent vid
😂 Yes I can see what you mean. 🤣😂
To me watching them sped up a bit can be much more interesting and sometimes funnier. Normal speed tends to get monotonous and boring so I like the speed ones not everyone’s liking thou 😂🤙
wow good vid 👍nice to see the wall e's to stack it up for maximum safe loads.
Thanks for the comment Mike, it’s all about safety. Happy watching 🤙
Impressive grab - certainly a big step forward from the wires and log head.
It sure is a huge difference with these grabs. Much preferred than the ship crane that’s for sure 😜🤙
0:41 OK junior. Time to play in here.
🥴😂🤣🤙
Awesome video with great footage. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the positive comment. New Year new videos. See what I can come up with 😜🤙
Brain Damage!
It is hard to appreciated the massive scale..
Climbing up into the cabin of that big crane grabber toy gives some perspective!
It looks so easy...but WOW, the trust these fellas must have!
Amazing!
The digger operators have a huge amount of trust in us up in the crane. They don’t really have a lot of room to escape so we have to be on our toes to put it in as safely as possible.
Awesome vid mate! Logging trucks pass my gate from dawn till dusk but I never raally think about the process after that. Very skilled operators. I bet they go to bed at night and all they can see is logs!
Thanks for the comment Corin, we have a lot of skilled guys here and work to many hours each but the job is good. And yes we dream of logs 😂🤣🤙
Gotta to love all the timber being the same length
Their are different lengths of timber, the digger operators call in what is needed and it comes to us butted up flush making it easier to position on the boat and less work for the diggers
Excellent video, mesmerising to watch.
Thanks for the comment Diane, Happy New Year 🤙
Best video i have watched for a wile ,Thank you.
Thank you 😜🤙
Wow thanks for sharing i didn't realize they used a excavator too finish off stacking I've always thought the main crane did.
In some countries the crane drop stows all the logs, some companies here drop stow still I think but our company use excavators to get as much on as possible leaving a tidy and safe stow for lashing.
@@daibach999 cool thanks bro.
Very neat, the way they pick up a whole bundle of logs in one go
Up to 35 tonne
cool operation !! very high production !! i wont mind seeing some more action from there !! thanks for the video !!!
Will do my best to keep them coming. Trying to find different angles to. Thanks for watching 🤙
your welcome !!
Loving the neon green grab and vehicle's
Yes it all comes together and we work well in a team here. Thanks
Very impressive loading, looks so efficient
Very efficient yes indeed. Working them tonight much more comfy than a ships crane that’s for sure
That's some sharp mahi bro that crane is a beast taking full packets like that of those shuttle trailers they hold a lot of wood. Nice Stowe by digger opps too.
Hard work and team work a must here and thanks for the comment 😜 digger ops get punished 🤙
That’s a side of the timber industry I’ve never seen before.
Thank you for the comment and yes can be interesting 🤙
Very cool video!!! I’m a logger and we were cutting pine logs and loading into containers and then shipped to port. This way looks a lot more efficient than loading into 40ft containers. Keep up the great work with videos. I really enjoyed this!!!! Thank you 🙏
Thanks for the comment 😜 I’m sure we still load logs into containers here to but not so mush now. Much prefer the new cranes fancy cab and aircon 🤣 stay safe bud
@@daibach999 I know that’s right. They had a pretty cool system to load the containers with. We cut all 19.5 ft logs that was going to China for furniture lumber. Stay safe bud!!!
The new grabs have been purpose built for this work, took some time to get used to them also the cranes as they came new but work well together. So where in the world are you ?
@@daibach999 I’m located ab 70 miles north of Charleston South Carolina USA. Logging is our number one gdp They call this the pine belt. We have all kinds of wood logged here, but there’s pine everywhere. We have a huge port in Charleston SC and also Wilmington NC is ab 70 miles north of me. SouthEast coast USA
@@arfarms5711 heaps of logging all round NZ to all types of trees. All sustainable never ending. What’s the weather like with you then is heading towards winter here starting to drop in temp. I don’t like the cold love the heat. Making another video to put out sometime next week but it’s on Kiwi Fruit loading as that season has started now again. Next time I’m on logs I will try make another 🤙
very good and fast loading
Loading is quick yes but safely is tops 🤙
Great video thanks for taking time to make it!!
Cheers will be making more, working on one now. 😜🤙
what a great job
Yes its a cool job, lots of brain strain getting used to it but like everything else you get their in the end
Awesome vid👍👍 real good insight and angles 👍🇬🇧👍
Trying my best to get the camera in places just that little bit different or even strange 🤣🤙

Neat video buddy. 👍👍😎
Thanks a lot Keith, making videos is still very new to me but after the holidays I will put some more together and see how it goes. Thanks again and have a great Xmas
If you get the chance to do this again you should place a camera on the excavators in the ship so we can see their perspective
Agree Ive been looking at the best position to put the camera. Also finding an operator I can trust with it haha
@@daibach999 Maybe try to get a go pro with a really good mount on the snatch block thing above the big claw on the big boi crane. That would be fun to watch
Will try that out I’ve been looking at things watch this space and thanks again 🤙
Cute yellow one
It’s our colours 😜
Incredibly efficient operation! Watched slingers yest; poor* blighters:/. Ship had beam & chain braces & they packed over hatches, hmm. Anyway..
To relax you might like Lumber Capital Log Yard also here on YT; smooth family logging & sawmill operation in Pennsylvania, USA. Then again ya may be all logged out post work;)

Thank you glad you like 🤙
Awesome mate
Thank you! Cheers!
@david cuddy
You’d be the king of stacking here
We do this every night 6 nights a week more sometimes 😂😜💪
Lol. It's a wonder there are any trees left. Damn.
I see where your coming from but all the trees are sustained and put about 2-3 ships a week out the harbour. Been going on like that for a long time now 🤙
Масштабно 👍
Да, действительно в большом масштабе. Каждую неделю из нашего порта выходит множество кораблей с бревнами, направляющихся в Китай и Индию.
😂😂 Monday 29 March 2021. Laughing through the tears because Carter Holt Harvey, one of New Zealand's largest timber producers has said it can't (won't) be able to supply timber to a lot of timber supply chains Mitre10, Bunning's etc. Because they can't produce enough timber. Then I watch this, I know it's 4 months old. 🤔🤬
Don’t know who the suppliers are but yes heaps of timber exported that’s for sure
timber is been hoarders in Auck East Tamaki by three speculators,
they have taken 9 months of CHH supply & production. !!!

Thanks but cant translate sorry
Wow, how many logs fit in that bulk carrier? A whole forest? How many ships like that are you loading per week/month?
Hi and between 26,000 to 44,000 tonnes of logs depending on the ship and maybe 3 ships per week. All depends shipping is up and down
Now some of you might not believe it when i tell you i use to load and haul that same size wood ...it would take me 2 days to haul those first bundle BY HAND NO LOADER ...and i'd get 48.00 $ for that same bundle of pine ...you didnt need pill's are beer's to put you asleep at bed time ....and also if it was hard wood i'd get 32.00$ ....people nowdays would not know how to work like that......
I learnt from my dad hard work long hours and determination. You sound propped old school 😜🤙
We make upto the 420s in my workplace...550s are just out of our capacity range
Myself I would love to work operating the LHM800 be great to even give one a try even 😜🤙

No coffee breaks for the little grapple in the ship. Got to go like a Hell to keep up lol.
Yes they are busy on the ship and we hold back for them when asked. We mostly all multi task and well aware of how they feel to. Thanks 🤙
Nice video. Where is the crane operator sitting so he can see into the hold of the ship?
If you look 3/4 of the way up the crane pedestal you can see the cab for the operator. Check out some of the other videos it has its position in them. and thanks 🤙
@@daibach999 Ok found it.. Thanks!
Good grief home many tons does one of those barges hold ?
Hello well some big ones 44,000 tonnes but normal would be about 38,000 tonnes
Im up marsden dai whos running tonight you troy morgan cory peni... anyways boys have fun see yous when i get back...

No fear of sinking
Not for us anyway 🤣🤙
hi good vid are they export pulp or small saw logs
Hi they are all export logs not pulp.
🖒
No idea what this says 😳
So you guys are also stupidly exporting your timber overseas, to then buy it back later, just like us in Aus!
We are copying you guys then but yes makes you think ah 😂🤙
Love your vids bro, just wounded how long to time is between lifts using the grapple system Compared to having people sling every lift manually? It Must get pretty hectic for the excavator operator in the hold , having to stack 30ish ton of logs away between every lift with a small digger with small bunching grapples lol.
Hi and thanks for the comment. The excavator oops are by far the hardest workers on the shift, the cranes can throw the lift in every 2 mins if needed. We work two holds per crane the grab lifts 30 tonnes, this method if way quicker than traditional slinging but the digger oops get punished. Much quicker and easier for us in the cranes and the diggers when we work on top on the lids where we can see instead of using a downward facing camera too.
Hope that helps 😜🤙
@@daibach999 thanks for the reply, yea I bet they get punished in hold, that’s not a lot of time to stack the logs away ( depends on if they need to shift the whole lift of logs or not ), because obviously you can’t get the logs where they need to go every lift. I’ve been a machine operator in the forestry for a long time , both grapple & processor operator, & want a change so thinking of trying to get into marsden point as I’m from Whangarei.
@@evil2rs marsdens a good Port they don’t have the cranes up their so you should be fine 😜 as we work 2 holds at a time then in between each lift they have that time to stack. But again it’s not long. We have great oops under the cranes and they work us well. Boils down to good comms and teamwork. Hope to get some more vids out this coming month but not back till the 17th. Will be using the new camera a bit more to get some strange and interesting angles 😳😜👌
@@daibach999 Awesome man , thanks for that . Looking forward to your next lot of vids . Stay safe 👍

Great videos, smooth and very active. Question for you: roughly how many hours does it take to load this, how much weight and where is it headed ?👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Hey thanks, and roughly 48-60 hours 2-2.5 days going at 4 gangs running around 2k jas per shift.
Its gone to japan or china
Awesome video. Can I ask permission to repost this and credit you?
Yes that would be great thanks for comment Dean 🤙
@@daibach999 thanks. Can you tell me where the logs are being loaded and where they’re headed?
@@TheGrumpyPete logs are being loaded Mount Maunganui side of The Port of Tauranga NZ and headed to China or India
if you use both carne for one trailer,the tractor does not change the flatbeds...
See if I can answer this properly as I can’t really understand the question 😳 the tractor units take a trailer to the crane and drop it off the head to get another. 3-4 per gang. Their is a wharf tractor moving the trailers about and bringing them from the tally park to the cranes. 1 crane works 2 holds on the ship. Hope that answers your question 😜🤙
@@daibach999 You take a tractor with two parcels of wood and you have two cranes...
One crane operates 2 trailers with 2 parcels each. One trailer's cargo goes into say hold 1 and the other into hold 2. The 2nd cranes gets 2 trailers with 2 parcels each. Of this lot 1 trailer's parcels into hold 3 and the other into hold 4. So each crane has 2 x trailers at any one time feeding 2 holds.
@@class8866 We run 8 trailers to one crane on rotation. So two trailers with 2 packets each are under the hook at any one time. Serving 2 holds. (2 Gangs). Hope that makes sense and sorry for the late reply. Stay safe
@@vandrivers8714 Sounds like I might know you? 😂🤙
Would it be hard for a heavy equipment operator to get a job here?
Would all depend on whether you are an Nz or Aus citizen or not. But to be up in the cranes you have to start on the ground and learn the job first
How long time to load this boat?
All depends on how much is needed. A full uplift between 48 hours 72 hours maybe 🤙
What is the destination of the wood?
China and India mainly but who ever buys it is where it goes. 🤙
I loaded trucks for a living with a madill, and apparently I need a bigger grapple
I had to google to see what a Madill was 🤣 yes to keep up with our grapples bigger is better 😂🤣🤙
Ya butt n top loaders in bush ,gotta be able to transport it around to different blocks, in the ol girl now but a smaller sort yard
There are so many different bits of kit or machinery world wide it’s good to see how other countries work and use them 😜
how much time to load boat?
2-3 days and nights working will completely fill a ship with logs. Anything from 36,000 to 44,000 tonnes
How to work there? I am fcc. Crane operator in the Philippines
I would imagine google ISO stevedoring Nz and look for careers
Wonder if there are any trees left in new Zealand
Heaps of trees 🤙
They complain about the disappearing rain forest, but millions of NZ logs, wasted on making wood pallets for Chinese goods, is helping to (not) change the climate?
@@chadsimmons6347 this is mostly radiata pine, grows to maturity in 25 years.
Its sustainable forest meaning new forest being planted
Yes like the guys have replied it’s all sustained and replanted straight away.

We always take on operators here, normally local as their is so many hours involved behind the wheel
@@daibach999 i have many videos on my youtube channel about crane..by the way i am from philippines..
I will take a look at your channel later. 🤙
It makes no sense why this advancement crane does not place it where it should be
Due to the Wings and the Under and Away on the ships the cranes are limited to the square only which is why you see the excavators positioning the logs and making optimail use of the space available. Hope that helps you understand 🤙
How much m³ can 1 boat fit aprox?
Varies between boats but approx from 32,000 tonnes to a 52,000 tonne we have just completed.
