Higher, stronger, more robust: crane builders outperform with superlatives. Loads are getting heavier and have to be lifted to hard-to-reach places. One of the largest crane companies in Germany is the Knaack Krane company in Hamburg. The company currently has around 60 different cranes in stock, the largest of which can lift up to 750 tons. It is a long way through planning and assembly until the machine is used for the first time - the report accompanies the creation of a mega crane.

THE VB10000 FROM VERSABAR IS THE AWESOME
With the soundtrack, i expected to see Captain Jack Sparrow standing atop of the biggest crane...
Joni Antonio - The Millennial Landlord he was, you missed him.
And how did you manage your desappointement ?
Lol sounds more like the dark knight sound track to me hahaha. Wait it might actually be the dark knight sound track. Wait it’s actually both.
"In the market as it were..." LOL!
I've got a jar of dirt
Probably the best video on KZhead about larger cranes and how they are made, run and used. I don´t care if it´s regarded as an ad for a certain manufacturer. Thank you, WELT Documentary! :-)
As a 45 year retired crane operator, today’s crane technology is amazing, the eighth wonder of the world compared to what I started out on. Although I have run only a 300 ton rig, only an experienced crane operator can appreciate the capabilities of today’s machines and the people responsible for the operation of them.
So called
Cranes are the best !!!!!!!! This is why I love being an Operator LOL !!!!!!!
🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇦🇨🇲🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
For interested parties, this is a top shelf presentation. Excellent.
This is one of the best of these videos. Hugely informative and entertaining. If I had seen this 30 years ago I would have considered it as a career. Impressive machines!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
No... it is nowhere near the best, or even considered quality.
Second that. Learned nothing
Nah this documentary was quite underwhelming imo. Why are there three different voices speaking and why are they using film music lol? Way too dramatic and not enough information.
I've always loved cranes when we would visit my Grandparents in Brooklyn we passed Bay Crane and see the big cranes in the yard next to the water I'd be facisnated they're so cool.
Being a crane operator is the best ever. Love my job and life...
...until your woman goes crazy and leaves you....
How did you get into that job?
The pay is amazing too right.
@@skullettrump3424 I suppose that depends on your definition of amazing.
Unless you have a woman who loves cranes too... ConExpo for the 7th time coming up in March !!! Them boys got lucky to go to the Liebherr Factory in Germany... not many Americans get sent there... usually we just get a week long commission on new cranes in the States unless it's a specialty crane size like a new LR Model or 800 ton and above .. I'll stick to my 400 ton Hydro...lol
This awesome. Love the cranes. Thank for that
This so called documentary was pretty good
LOVE TO WATCH DOCUMENTARY LIKE THIS. BEACUS I DRIVE A 17 METRE TELESCOPE HANDLER FORKLIFT. USE TO BE DRIVE 360 .ITS KIND OF FORKLIFT + CRANE. LOVE IT !!!
WHAT is going on with the music? Pirates of the Caribbean, The Dark Knight, The Matrix … nevermind the odd music choice, doesn’t it cost tons of money to use them?
A very uplifting video.
this was a giant liebherr commercial, but these things ive always been curious about.
So you missed the Tadano crane then..?
@@Penguin_of_Death ....mind you, the Tadano is just a cheaper version of the Liebherr, so - technically - it's still an ad for Liebherr, who probably sponsored all or part of the documentary anyway.
The supports on a mobile crane are called "Outriggers".
I just spent 20 hours over the weekend,watching a massive Sarens crane installing rd bridge sections on a project in s Wales in the u.k , lots if wasted time issues, but also a pleasure to witness.
Amazing
Best job in construction industry is crane operator
This is awesome
Eddie wailed that car with a tree branch! 😂😂😂
Interesting job, i have been doing it in some years on the small and big cranes, not as big as this one. Lots of responsibilities, lots of stress. Long days, and it is going to be like this almost every day, and sometimes in weekend. It is a very good job for the people who has no family (life) to take care of. Good salary, but you dont have actually time to spend the money.
Speaking the truth.
Nice documentary. Thanks. Also, i learned that having it down to the centimeter, weren't accurate enough. We need it down to the meter. :-D
So-called crawler crane So-called mobile crane So-called weather protection roof x2 So-called hoist limit weight So-called telescopic parts (five so-called telescopic parts) So-called revolving platforms
So-called documentary
So-called documentary
“This is my ‘so-called’ wife.” “These are my ‘so-called’ kids.” “Together they are my ‘so-called’ family.”
Lmfaooo yoo im watching this like this the third time their bringing up that they gotta remove the roof wen are they gonna take it down already n im like did he really say so called weather roof n as I'm writing this comment he goes and these parts are moved on these so-called rotating platforms lmfaooo this guy is "so-called" the narrator of this documentary
I couldn't agree more with this "so-called" comment. The "so-called" documentary is "so-called" interesting but "so-called" annoying. Is it "so-called" or is that what it is?!🤣
"A crane operators major characteristics.......(physical fitness)....LMFAO, they must not have got that memo!
Scotty...Lol.....The operators I've been around just sit on their ASS ALL DAY LONG
S lit HEY ITS HARDER THEN IT LOOKS 😂😂 im also someone who sits on his fat ass all day
@@juskillz5229 least you admit it jus lol
They should have given us some info on the power plants for the mega cranes.
I had to watch dark knight after this documentary. They should have used a different soundtrack.
That's a long Liebherr advertisement!
They offer a lot of big cranes. Unfortunately, they don't seem to have real interest in other crane types cranes like smaller tower cranes - here others like Potain offer much better hardware than Liebherr, with a faster winch and a higher jib in the same class, zinc coated instead of painted.
"You take the left, I'll take the right, it's all the same to me" lol If he doesn't know the difference between left and right, could be some interesting times ahead as a crane operator.
that made me chuckle
The Craneplaces must be compacted!!!!!!!!!!
Would like know……In What year was this documentary made? Thanks
I only admire your people because you're not evil...evil is what I respect
I am from Germany and very proud of engineering in these machines. I would feel in safe hands with these gentlemen handling my large erection
I lake This is. Good con Cratuletion🌄🌍🎆
2:24 pirates of the Caribbean
the most amazing part of this video was being able to clear Rage Against The Machine for the soundtrack...
v nice
10:50 this concept is insane
I like this video
"Bolt" = Pin. "Bolt Extractor" = Pin Jack. Bolts are fasteners and are threaded.
Definition of bolt 1a: a lightning stroke also : THUNDERBOLT b: a shaft or missile designed to be shot from a crossbow or catapult especially : a short stout usually blunt-headed arrow 2a: a wood or metal bar or rod used to fasten a door b: the part of a lock that is shot or withdrawn by the key 3: a metal rod or pin for fastening objects together that usually has a head at one end and a screw thread at the other and is secured by a nut 4: a roll of cloth or wallpaper of specified length 5: a metal cylinder that drives the cartridge into the chamber of a firearm, locks the breech, and usually contains the firing pin and extractor 6a: a block of timber to be sawed or cut b: a short round section of a log So NO. A bolt does not necessarily needs to be threaded...
@@Guds777 I accept your alternative definitions but in this case the term "bolt" does not apply to a pin designed and used to connect crane Jib (not "boom)" sections .
waite so please show universal evidence to support this? From my experience there are different terms used for the same thing depending on where you are and who you talk to.
@@benmac7315 Simple Engineering terms understood by a first year apprentice.
waite simple engineering terms where you are. Go elsewhere and I can assure you there will be other simple engineering terms. The use of the English language is not identical everywhere around the world. Different areas use different terms to mean the same thing and in some cases different engineering specialties use different terms for substantially the same thing.
Interesting especially since "free documentaries" channel has same start, figure its all one production company doing the doco's and spreading them out as seen this place already just not to in depth stuff
Why does the narrator overuse the word ‘so-called’?! This seems to be a theme in all of his/these videos.
Agreed, it's a crane on crawler tracks, there is no "so-called" about it
also but wait theres a problem, a common use in these videos
@David F that's two words LOL
suddenly 007 music kicks in... what the......... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The narrator has a good grasp of the obvious! Lol
I wish there's a documentary on bigger cranes like the LR 13000 or the ALE SK10000
Please tell me im not the only one that hears " the medallion calls" in this video
Great video! However, the writing could use some work.
3:30 before they even begin to get into the machine.
Ex"c"eptional spelling on Exceptional and Engineering at 2:19 but great video.
At the company X-mas party, dancing with Debbie to, "No need to ask who's the crane operator."
Medieval cities were built without cranes hard to imagine
No they had cranes
What POLARITY is the ROPE GREASE ????
The music in this video Sounds like theme music from pirates of the Caribbean lmao
@~6:15 was that a person tossed out of the cab?
I love the “So Called” use of Rage Against The Machine on the soundtrack...
heard pirate of the Caribbean also haha
So how much did Lego pay that one guy. 3 times in 3 seconds. Impressive
Awesome but could have done without the crazy soundtrack.
Kranplätze müssen verdichtet sein ! 😁
Ha! I couldn’t believe my eyes when i saw those electronic Crane cards, for that state of the art gigantic lifting monster, were kept in a tatty cardboard box someone could sit on and squash! and not a foam lined aluminium/hard plastic one. 😂
Exploring the limits of physics, Wow I thought this was about cranes but it appears to be also about the LHC at CERN. Maybe you over egged it a little there.
The crane tipping over at 1:13 might have been the one in South America which tipped over because the slave driver didn't want to waste time laying down wooden mats which the crane was supposed to spread the weight of the crane on. The log in the computer was disconnected. Like a black box in a plane ,it can be analyzed to see if the crane was overloaded. No I was wrong. It's in Italy. 27:23 they show it again. But it seems like they overrode the computer. When the computer detects something outside of the crane's operating parameters it would only allow the crane to lower the load.
So called
Seems more like Mecano than Lego to me.
*Meccano
Holy crap, I feel terrible for Hans Zimmer. I thought his career was going really well I didn’t realise he had resorted to writing scores for low rent crane documentaries.
music is annoying and too loud
Is this from free documentary
Hoist limit weight...in the states known as a ATB or Anti two block....
This isn't in the states though. You do know there are other countries out there...yes?
A2B
Ahh the american official units of measurement. The football field
Football pitches, as in Soccer. Not an American football field.
Dude, he said "pitch" - i.e. proper 'football', not 'American football'
We got a Brand New National Boom Truck on the Job and the Operator pulled the out Riggers UP while the BOOM was still Extended on the side of the Truck.....YEA THE OPERATOR IS NOW KNOWN AS FLIPPER....FLIPPER WAS FIRED IMMEDIATELY.
I like Liebherr better than Manitowoc/Grove/National/Potain anyway, and I prefer all terrain mobile cranes rather that truck mounted mobile cranes/"Boom trucks", but use whatever kind of crane suits your application. Also, that sounds like an incompetent operator! (Obviously) How much did the crane cost? (Besides way too much!)
Hans Zimmer made the sound track?
More like they stole Hans Zimmer's soundtrack for Dark Knight Rises. Unless they're not making any money off of these videos, in which case, usage of this copyrighted material is a matter of "fair use" or something, they sought permission to use this music.
What about a camera 🎥 on the top of the krean ( see the vocabulary ).
Gotta love the "so called" narrator. and his "so called" narration. Of the "so called" documentary. About the "so called" cranes.
Yes that's 👍 ok
Legos ... You date yourself , young one. Erector set is more accurate , for us older guys.
I was always a Meccano guy myself.
Lego - they are already plural, it's just Lego
It's not a bolt it is a clevis pin. A bolt has a screw thread, get it right mate, ask an engineer, hey?
Bob Eden the Germans they call them bolts, I’m not sure why but I’ve worked with many in assembling cranes, I used to be confused but eventually got used to it
A bolt with a thread is a screw.
@@benildoalexandre255 what ever works for you, hey?
@@julianreverse A bolt with a thread is closed by a nut hence "Nuts and Bolts" A screw has no nut!
terrible editing. the transitions were too much. relax it’s not an action movie bro
Yep. These Doco's suck..
it's all good until computer goes crazy and only Liebbher has to come to fix it $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
His German ass was eating that new seat in that new crawler lol. I shizer!!!
PIRATES soundtrack 28:00
The : so called, wonder what it's really called. 😱
Exceptional Engeneering and Sucky spelling @2:21
42:55 comfy
Why in these videos do they say " the so called ...", when that is the precise, technical name of the part?
probably, because the average viewer is not familiar with these components and would maybe misunderstand the meaning of the true terminology. But, I agree with you (and most of the other commenters) that the narrator definitely overdid it.
All this is kid's stuff compared to marine cranes -- on- and offshore.
Why do I wanna watch Dark Knight Rises all of a sudden...
37:00 Anyone ever heard of a camera that is mounted at the top of the boom and directed by the crane operator to assist in giving first hand information where otherwise the operator can't see? Really???
Yes...I've even seen cameras on fork lift carriages
yep...and as soon as the weather turns sour (snow, sleet, freezing rain etc) you see dick f**k all on the camera monitor. Much better to stick to verbal commands via radio.

If I had to order a super expensive mega crane. I'd have it painted in some strange colour. Like extremely offensive pink, or bright neon green. Just to annoy people.
2:15 "engineering"
"Exceptional" "Engineering"...
@@jeffgordon9549 Thank you! I'm looking at that and wondering if this some weird German spelling or something. LOL
Two whole weeks training, that makes me feel a load safer. Incidentally we have a liebherer fridge freezer it's useless at lifting.
Two weeks with this crane but they've had way more training on other cranes.
thats why they cll it SWL safe wroking load; oh, did i smspell something?
@@johnhenninger1980 dude lay off the dope and get some sleep.
I hear the cranes are useless at freezing
and they make a f#%@ ton of money, too!
How much $ does something like that cost
considering that the new 5-axle all-terrain mobile crane (Demag/Grove 550XLD_ which we just recently delivered from Massachusetts to Newfoundland & Labrador had a customs invoice value of ,U$ 1,350,000, it wouldn't surprise me that this Liebherr Crawler crane checks-in at about 3 Mio Euros (and the small Tadano probably cost about 500.000 Euros when new. That explains the hourly rates these crane-operators charge these days (in Canada a mid-size mobile crane operator charges about C$1,500/hr (calculated from/to the operator's home-terminal)

Awesome but commercial is too much irritating.!!!
I love how they steal music from every movie. 😂 I'm surprised they don't get screwed for copyrighting
The most important aspect: KRANPLÄTZE MÜSSEN VERDICHTET SEIN!
Ehre!
Ach du lieber; at approx 2:10 the word ¨exceptional¨ flashes me onsceen, only it is misspelled. Meine liebherr! Im a german who dont speaka da german and a certified mobil crane operator in norway. What yall did here (jfr Dora sub base)is about as amazing as that. But in japan they assemble with white gloves, so pass the rcie.
Is this an ad for liebherr??? Not that I mind, I do not own shares of liebherr -lol-
So you missed the Tadano crane then..?
Liebherr is my favorite crane manufacturer, but I also like Tadano and Demag. ALE/Mammoet cranes are cool, but those are crazy gigantic specialty cranes.
@WELTDocumentary Did you really license the Command and Conquer soundtrack? 43:25 Who even owns that?
not much ppe being used here at all..
