  • Watching the assembly of a #construction #towercrane timelapse-style with sped-up video and some actual time-lapses. This is part 2, which covers placement of the slewing unit and cab, jibs, trolley, basically all the stuff at the top, in the second day of the assembly.
    In case you missed it, part 1, which covers prior preparations and placing of the mast segments is here: • Assembling a Tower Cra...

    Definitely not these guys first rodeo! Through the two parts of this crane erection, I never saw any crew member standing around killing time! They were constantly hard at it, and it was clear that they had no doubt what to do or when to do it! Mad skills by all including the operating engineer running the massive mobile crane! He put every piece spot on! As the first horizontal piece went up with tag line attached, I was anxious to see if they would just unhook it and toss, but being 100% professional in all respects, they hooked it on a sling and sent it back down to the exact spot it was needed next! The crane manufacturers, both mobile and tower, have done a great job of designing these things in an easily assembled/disassembled modular manner! This is massive machinery, but watching the procedures gives the false impression of being Lego like! Nothing could be further from the truth! Great job on these shows btw! Thanks!

    This brings back memories for me, in the 1970’s I was part of the rigging team for tower cranes in Sunderland Public Works Department in the North East of England. Not sure my understanding of the risks was as great as it is now, as retired 70 year old electrician. Credit to those who do this work today, be safe and take care.

    The adjustment of the outer bridal should have been done on the ground before the outer jib was lifted into place. All the information of where the bridals pin are in the manual for every jib configuration from L1 and longer, someone who was in charge wasn’t paying attention or read the manual wrong that’s why you always check 2-3 times before the any piece leaves the ground.
