You lucky dawg
we want to see you Rig the largest crane in the world!
Oh hello there
can you fully disassemble the crane in vidéo please ?
You don't want to mess with that Jerry, it will give you deeper scratches at every level.
Im dutch ant i go tere everiday
Pyramid conspiracy theorists who say we can't build the pyramids today should really take a look at this video, lol
Nooo... That crane is clearly not man made
@@Blobfishkat oh no
They said it would be difficult not impossible
Are you trying to say Egyptians used crane to build pyramid 🤡
No one has ever said that
Great to have you on site James - to experience the RAW LIFTING POWER! 💪💪💪
Why has No One commented on this yet jeez
Awesome crane and company!
Very good interview humble but explaining answers.
Considering how you've handled construction equipment (spider mech, power loader) in the past, I'm shocked they let you anywhere near that thing.
Those things are his and he can be reckless as much as he wants to be. But this thing is not his so he has to be super super super careful also that shit moves super slow i doubt anything major could heppene
@@weewoomemes I know, I'm merely joking
isnt james mech suit surtified though
@crazybird199 hello there!
Why do i see you -crazybird- where ever i go?
It's cool to see James do an interview! Do more!
Agreed! With Tom Scott stepping down, there's a void that needs filling!
Agreed, more content like this it's good.
OMG U SHOULD MAKE THE FALLOUT POWER ARMOR
goeie promoot ook voor jullie
The real operator showed true joy in his eyes explaining the controls to James
a man that loves and takes pride in his work
What a behemoth of engineering! You must have been in awe most of that trip!
I love that when you are from the Netherlands you directly recognise a Dutch person by there accent.
I heard 2 words and instantly recognised his 'steenkolen engels'
as a dutchman it's always painful to hear your own accent
It's spelled "T-H-E-I-R", meaning possession. For example: "Their car" or "Their food". The word "there" that you used means a location. For example: "My house is over there" (pointing in the distance with their arm).
@@diamondcreepah3210 ja prc, waarom is het nederlandse accent zo slecht als je engels spreekt
Instantly, i saw mammoet and was like "Here we go with the bad english!!" 😂
7:38 look at that cameraman dualwielding those camera's tho
Max proficiency
6:30 "I am Till" this is actually hilarious! "til" means to lift something in Dutch, and he really does, every day 😂
That's awesome.
"It's actually a giant snatchblock!" A wild Dustin appears: "SNATCHBLOCK!?"
Perpetually impressed with the feats of engineering my small country of the Netherlands produces. Glad to have you visit! The guys at Mammoet seem great lads aswell. Thanks for the great content as always :D
Makes me proud to be Dutch
proud to say that our small country (Netherlands) has got this awesome company (mammoet) with the biggest crane and is doing all these specialty lifts all around the world 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱.
(We have more amazing companies like ASML)
For me, the biggest crane comes from Sarens which is Belgian, but for 2m difference we can call it a draw and enjoy our BE-NED super lifters !
Needdeerrrrlaaaand
Altijd toch
Altijd toch
Beste engineers ooit
wait a minute, is mammoth also the company who salvaged the massive soviet submarine called kursk and built the new sarcophagus for chernobyl? holy cow
I'm not sure there's another one
It's spelled "Mammoet", not "mammoth". Mammoet is a company. Mammoth is an animal.
@@Sabrinahuskydog Same word. Different language.
I believe the Kursk was salvaged by another Dutch company. Smit/Boskalis is also doing some heavy lifting. I believe they did the Kursk.
@@groentjuheu SMIT did it in a collaboration with Mammoet..
"humanity couldnt build the pyramids today even if we wanted to" a random crane with more complexity in the logistics used to make the steel cables alone, nearly double the hight of the pyramids: "are you sure about that"
those kinds of statements about the pyramids are bunk. if a nation wanted to and could spend 20 years and plenty of money it would not be a huge problem. at the time they were built they were the top priority for the monarch and the country believed he was a god and wanted to build the pyramid
@@ronblack7870 I wonder how big the world's most powerful nations could make stone pyramids if they started today. Like, what if the US and China both suddenly converted their military budgets into pyramid budgets or something like that? Hahaha
Do it without modern technology and let's see if we can do it
@@gabmachado Give me a lever big enough and I can move the world.
nice to see you are operating the largest crane ever made in hands off a Dutch company.
How else would we wage ware with the sea
James reaching all new heights! Doing the heavy lifting!
7:15 I'm sure what you were talking about was interesting, but I'm more mesmerised by the camera guy dual wielding cameras while keeping track of the narrative of what you're saying and filming the relevant things 😂
Owen is the best! 👌
It’s crazy to know that THE Hacksmith, one of the biggest contend creator on the platform, has visited my home town !!! I literally recognize the harbors and docks on the background and obviously the huge crane. I wish I would have seen him around. I hope he enjoyed his time here and whilst he as at it, visiting huge structures, he also popped by one of worlds biggest old style grain grinding windmills. And I truly hope he has tried ‘een kopstootje’ 😂. Hacksmith… if you see this… de groeten uit Schiedam, Nederland 🇳🇱👋
I love the Netherlands!
NETHERLANDS MENTIONED, WHAT IS LIVING ABOVE SEA LEVEL 🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀
The "what is this a ___ for ants" reference always kills me
Looking for this comment
So cool. That must have been so fun
See those type of cranes in oil and gas industry all the time. Takes about a month to assemble.
its so cool to see James just having a good time, doing what he wants to do learning new things, we will always support you! ❤
And some people say size doesn't matter
I worked on the previous worlds largest crane. The Bigge 125D. These are impressive machines!
WOOOOO this looks awesome!!! I can’t believe how powerful this thing is. I can’t believe it can be shipped either. Thank you for showing us this beast
I love how he said you are free to come by anytime. That means more than you know. People don't say that unless they mean it.
The way it is from a drone is badass
really enjoy seeing james this hyped
Love that you came to a dutch company that is big in transporting and lifting big things
I love that I got to experience this through you!
This was super interesting, James is such a great interviewer, and who doesn't love a massive crane. 😀
I love the stick Y axis is inverted.
Great to see you feeling so free to try things and ask questions! Love the video!
This is amazing, almost feels like a Tom Scott video! Different than your usual, and I welcome that!
Now that's a unique show, thanks for sharing this inside view on such a huge crane!
They are such a neat company. Those multi wheel remote transporters are the coolest.
Bro is a master at doing side quests
The fears of engineering. Truly spectacular!
Now that's one mammoth of a crane.
Welkom to the Netherlands! Hope you had a great time here!!
That amount of raw power can only remind me of a full grown great white shark 🦈
Yes indeed you intelligent gentleman
Likewise kind sir ✊🏿
Well well well aren't I the popular fellow today , At ease solider!!
You need to make a duel disk IRL please
Fascinating 🔥🔥
Awesome, I wish one day I could see it person
I first heard of Mammoet years ago on some special heavy lift project that was covered on PBS. Digging into them decades ago was fascinating then and the work they've done over the years is just continually utterly mind boggling at times. You could always tell and this video shows it so well it's a company of very passionate people.
i don't mind seeing more of these machinery/equipment informational videos. Pretty interesting.
KZhead singlehandedly keeps my interest in learning new things alive
Destin for Smarter Every Day would love this as he loves snatch blocks
The hacksmith and big Carl, what a team up
James is a surprisingly good interviewer 😮
The most mechanical engineer video ever, being so happy about cranes lol
Who the hell let James control a crane 😂
A thing I thought would be a great video idea: build a lightweight lightning rod that can be carried on your back (maybe as tall as a street light pole for effectiveness), and have the tip of it look like thor's hammer, 'cuz it seems cool
nice to see you have been to the netherlands!! i sometimes work on those cranes (and smaller) if there is an hydraulic leak, our company does business with them often
It's how they put the crains together that impresses me, its like origami and mechano in one. 🤔
Finally! A crane that can lift Caseoh!
It’s funny how when the crane operator in the intro spoke one word, I could instantly recognize you were in the Netherlands 😂🇳🇱
It’s funny. I drive almost everyday beside that crane. Soo for me this is soo normal to see 😂
Amazing video! I hope you enjoyed it here in The Netherlands!
The crane on our site BIG Carl is 820ft tall 250m, his largest boom length of 160m 5000ton lift capability. HPC Site UK. Your welcome!
As a Dutch person I think I'm obliged to say Gekoloniseerd. Fun to see Schiedam through this view when I've only ever really seen the city as a city before.
This awesome, I can stil see this crane from my bedroom window. Recently mammoet had a ''show day'' showing off the entire mamoet facility including this crane. I was in awe. To now see you in this crane with an insanly detailed explanation is awesome!
Omg YALL SHOULD MAKE A POWER ARMOR
Actually I think the largest crane in the world is the SGC250 "Big carl" by the Belgian Sarens company. It is also 5000T but peaks at 250m compared to the 246m of the Mammoet one. Actually the mammoet is the third largest (but I agree that it is very close)
I did my brand study on Mammoet when I was in college for graphic design it's one of the coolest Logos and brand names ever.
I used to inspect rigging equipment that big
Sounds really cool man fr
these people are dutch, they dont know the imperial system, so these are tonnes, not tons. 9000 tonnes are a whole lot more than just 9000 tons
Imperial system 🤡
Only about 10%. Not that much more.
@@TwitchyMofo yeah just a measly 2,000,000 pound difference
@@vitriolveio on this scale so what? It's 10%
@@TwitchyMofo 10% is a whole lot. imagine you making 10% less money. i'd quit. or if you had to pay 10% more taxes. i'd move. imagine being able to bench press 10% more than your max. i could go on forever. but the important thing is that american call really massive things "[x] metric shittons". they swear even. it's a respect thing bc it's so much more and bc you can actually make simple calculations in metric in your head even without having to be a semi-maths genius like how many barley corns are in a ton vs how many milligrams are in a metric tonne.
Love the movie reference 😂 It needs to be at least 3 times this size!
I wasn’t aware there were cranes that big
Finally a way we can move around CaseOh!
When the engineer who does comics stuff finds the most amazing thing ever in real life
It would be so cool to see him do a full metal Elite Riot Gear armor + helmet from Fallout New Vegas, hoping to see that in the future! (hopefully with all the features from the games)
i think it woould be super cool to see you guys make power armor
So how well would you say your mech driving experience prepared you for this moment?
At 5:20 , they are swaying because each cable has only about 5 tonnes of stress on it (assuming 20 T for the cables themselves). 120 T / 24 cables. So basically nothing for a cable that size.
How do these guys even land opportunities like this, its so insane
You can tell that dudes Dutch. He's tall AF!!
And it's still not enough to lift Caseoh 🗿
Crazy! Love these videos 👍🏻
I saw one of these IRL when it was assembled at Reliance Industries Jamnagar. Awesome Engineering!
So how many regular cranes does it take to set this one up in a decent time? :D
i live in schiedam, i cycle past this place to school everyday, it's within walking distance from my house. sad to have missed your visit. hope you enjoyed your time in the netherlands
1:00 “Crane-alot!” “Crane-alot!!!” “Crane-alot!!!!!” “It’s only a model.”
You gotta admit, when your able to move 5kT you can run as slow as you want with that much power.
I love the nemo and family guy cameos lol :)
The way you look like a little kid when talking about a crane. Thanks for this fun video. 👍
he was also in a big boys' playground
You must be a god moving100ton hook + cable by barely pushing it 🥶 Imagine pushing game of death and life with that thing only Hackmit survived it. Since He has the GADGETS OF GODS
i've been there in 2009 when I was 12 years old, they had an event and I operated one of their smaller cranes. you could win a goodie bag if you managed to lower one inside an oil barrel. still use the can opener keychain it came with, just lost the logo quite a few years ago.
I have a request for the next build, What if you guys build Kong's Axe from Godzilla Vs. Kong (2021)
As a crane operator for simple tower cranes, this is huge. I max out at 50tons if the customer orders it. But 12ton is the basic.
That's crazy! The world's biggest crane! I wonder what other insane things you'll license!
This is such a great video concept don't really comment on youtube but you are amazing James keep goin!
Having worked with heavy-duty Industrial systems that move around 1000L of oil per minute, let me tell you you do not want to be around that thing if a pipe or hose busts...
The dutch accent is hilarious and so recognizable for me
what a great video., Thanks....
I used to own one of these, used it to move furniture around on my patio.
