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
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.
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
The real operator showed true joy in his eyes explaining the controls to James
a man that loves and takes pride in his work
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
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 😂
"It's actually a giant snatchblock!" A wild Dustin appears: "SNATCHBLOCK!?"
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 !
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
That's awesome.
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
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!
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! 👌
NETHERLANDS MENTIONED, WHAT IS LIVING ABOVE SEA LEVEL 🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀
So cool. That must have been so fun
The "what is this a ___ for ants" reference always kills me
Looking for this comment
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
This is amazing, almost feels like a Tom Scott video! Different than your usual, and I welcome that!
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! ❤
The way it is from a drone is badass
Welkom to the Netherlands! Hope you had a great time here!!
This was super interesting, James is such a great interviewer, and who doesn't love a massive crane. 😀
I worked on the previous worlds largest crane. The Bigge 125D. These are impressive machines!
really enjoy seeing james this hyped
See those type of cranes in oil and gas industry all the time. Takes about a month to assemble.
I love that I got to experience this through you!
And some people say size doesn't matter
Now that's one mammoth of a crane.
I love the stick Y axis is inverted.
The fears of engineering. Truly spectacular!
Now that's a unique show, thanks for sharing this inside view on such a huge crane!
Love that you came to a dutch company that is big in transporting and lifting big things
The hacksmith and big Carl, what a team up
Bro is a master at doing side quests
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.
Great to see you feeling so free to try things and ask questions! Love the video!
Awesome, I wish one day I could see it person
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!!
It’s funny. I drive almost everyday beside that crane. Soo for me this is soo normal to see 😂
Fascinating 🔥🔥
They are such a neat company. Those multi wheel remote transporters are the coolest.
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.
So how well would you say your mech driving experience prepared you for this moment?
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 funny how when the crane operator in the intro spoke one word, I could instantly recognize you were in the Netherlands 😂🇳🇱
Who the hell let James control a crane 😂
The most mechanical engineer video ever, being so happy about cranes lol
I love the nemo and family guy cameos lol :)
You need to make a duel disk IRL please
KZhead singlehandedly keeps my interest in learning new things alive
Destin for Smarter Every Day would love this as he loves snatch blocks
Love the movie reference 😂 It needs to be at least 3 times this size!
I wasn’t aware there were cranes that big
''even with today technology we couldn't build the pyramids'' Mammoth : allow me to introduce myself
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!
1:00 “Crane-alot!” “Crane-alot!!!” “Crane-alot!!!!!” “It’s only a model.”
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.
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
I like how it’s so easy to recognize my fellow Dutch citizens XD
I used to inspect rigging equipment that big
Sounds really cool man fr
It's how they put the crains together that impresses me, its like origami and mechano in one. 🤔
So how many regular cranes does it take to set this one up in a decent time? :D
How do these guys even land opportunities like this, its so insane
Wow, mammoet is literally in walking distance from my house and I had no idea they did these large international projects 😮
Omg YALL SHOULD MAKE A POWER ARMOR
That's crazy! The world's biggest crane! I wonder what other insane things you'll license!
Amazing video! I hope you enjoyed it here in The Netherlands!
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
How i imagine the conversation to allow hacksmith to drive the crane going Them: im not sure you can drive this do you have any crane certification Him: im forklift certified Them: holy shit yeah go ahead
James is a surprisingly good interviewer 😮
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!
Finally! A crane that can lift Caseoh!
When you have a walkie-talkie with a hip clip that works by itself, with the antenna and all that important stuff built in, and you have a secondary cord that plugs into it and only has the talk button and a piece to talk into...you talk into the corded piece with the talk button....
Crazy! Love these videos 👍🏻
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
I saw one of these IRL when it was assembled at Reliance Industries Jamnagar. Awesome Engineering!
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 think it woould be super cool to see you guys make power armor
nice to see u in my country
Finally a way we can move around CaseOh!
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.
Ah, heavy equipment that comes with its own weather. Nice.
Liked this video before I even watched it love big machinery
Finally a crane to lift Caseoh
💀
Woah woah woah....what about Big Carl....that crane has it's own wiki entry!
what a great video., Thanks....
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...
They need a crane to pick up the earth and out of the solar system.😂
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.
You can tell that dudes Dutch. He's tall AF!!
Who let this man drive something the size of a skyscraper 🤣😭
