How Tower Cranes Build Themselves

I hope you find this video uplifting ; )

This is a really good video thank you

very nice thanks a loat

The written translation is annoying and obscures the view

There's a massive tower complex being constructed across the street from me and It really grew my interest in these cranes. I watched the crane jacks work over the weekend and was amazed by how delicate of a process it can be.I also got to the see the bottom up cranes be built and that really confused the heck out of me. The crane was inside the structure of the building. I thought the crane was attached to the very bottom level, but as the crane went high and higher I noticed that the crane structure didn't exist on the lower floors but was simply attached to the structure of the building. That crane is now maybe attached to the top 10 floors of a 60 floor building. Confused the hell out of me until i watched this video and figured out the whole scenario. There was also a point when I was gone for a week and they moved one of the cranes to the opposite side of the building and changed it from a hammerhead crane to the luffing jib crane. Not sure why exactly, might have been a design screw up.

Greetings from Bulgaria, I have been wondering for two months how this crane was built, thank you very much.

What happens to the cavity in the building left by the internal crane?

I always thought they set up a second craine and had them build each other up before the normal craine then disassembled the second one. The actual solution makes much more sense cost-wise.

Though am a civil engineer but i admit mechanical engineers are crazy

Pro cess

I can now die in peace... thanks

always wondered about that. many thanks.

Great video. Thanks for the explanation :)

I'm reading that you guys actually climb ladders to get to the cab. I never once saw an operator climbing a ladder. When do you guys do this (I mean at what time of day)? 3a?4a? What?

Can anyone explain me what environmental factors affect the crane ?? Plzz it's my viva question

Very good explanation

I was looking at a crane the other day trying to work it out..... Did my head in. So glad you explained it well. So the arm is built flat on the ground and raised.. makes sense now. Thanks for the vid

Thank for Reading my thoughts, i Always wonder 🤔 how, Fasend& Nating 😮😅 love it

I hope it’s so exciting to make
A new videos!

"They always get the job done safely and efficently" ssshhhh, don't tell him about the many crane disasters that take place every year 🤭🤫

ive been thinking that for 2000 years

Do the have a porta potty?

if you are and adrenaline junkie this job is for you

There is nothing like getting a bird's eye view; this top-floor explanation raised my knowledge to dizzying new heights. Thanks.

The initial use of the mobile crane should be given more time

Very in depth video. I see a crane outside my office window everyday and it seems to move every time I look away😅. Thanks for the explanation.

Absolutely. Fucking. Incredible.

i have internet in this i want learn how drive this

Everything comes with physics and chemistry thanks for sharing friend 😊

Nice information ❤

This is wild!! The math that goes into this has taken many many hundres of years to master.

I live in Chicago and have 3 tower cranes operating around me downtown. I just see them getting higher and higher but always miss the jacking process. Thanks for breaking it down!

This thing stunk I was not expecting to watch a cartoon drawing I wanted to see it happen in the flesh so to speak.

Thanks for this vid. I've wondered about how it was done for years but never had a chance to witness it. As you said, you arrive at work one day and there it is. Next to no one pays any attention to the building of the pad. It was how they got it out of the elevator shaft that really mystified me.

Thanks.

I want a luffing jib crane in my backyard

Scary, I stay sell ice cream at Häagen-Dazs, I can not do this job, too scary for me.

Very informative, thanks!!

Interesting video, but are the lifting collars (which I'm assuming must weight a few tonnes) able to be lifted up to the crane once it has climbed? Surely if it's directly below it the crane can't get its hook to it? Must it be dragged / skidded to an opening the crane can then access?

the self rising collar one looks unbelievably dangerous to do. The guys who do that must have balls of steel

Bro that is nuts.

❤🎉

Outstanding

Too complicated? Go low - go bungalow.

Here from PMT June 30th 2023

Its no wonder they never contacted me to erect a crane.

Next video how the cranes that build the tower cranes are built
