  • @YaterSpoon86 I never claimed to have done anything special. Don't be a dick. Where's your super spectacular video that put's mine to shame? Kiss my ass!

  • 660 tons very wrong. I haul the track on the side, 38, 000lbs a peice. The center cross section is 52,000lbs, the upper section is 49,000. So were is the 660 tons at? If you had it he would have all three axles down on the main truck and at least 30 rows of axles on the trailer. What you have there is 70 tons max with a weak truck pulling needing help which is fine if grade is a real 12% because it's hard to show grade on film.

  • @bbaker904 . You sir are an idiot. I am not saying the crane weighs 660 tons. The capacity of the crane when erected is 660 ton. The house weighs 102,000lbs. The carbody is almost 100,000 lbs. Each track is over 100,000 lbs. You don't know what you are talking about. I have moved this crane all over the country, I think I know how much it weighs. Do some homework before you spout off...

  • @cranemagic Typical truck over blow up. Like calling a 2 mile back up 5 miles. I can tell by your language your full of it. I run for Landstar and haul crane componits all over the country. 660 tons on that many axles would get you shut down in ever state. Ill make sure I follow this youtube over to DOT for you so we won't have to worry about you on the road anymore. 60 ton is 120,000lbs. Or did you forget math. 660 tons is 1 million 320 thousand pounds. you need over 300 axles for that.

  • @bbaker904 I can tell by your spelling that you are pretty sharp so I will explain this slowly...... The capacity of the crane when fully erected is 660 tons. The weight on the trailer is just over 400,000 lbs..... This was an on site move so the DOT can kiss my butt... If you can read, go to Manitowoc's website and you can see for yourself.. Like I said before, do some homework before you make yourself look stupid. Oh wait, too late. I really doubt you have ever hauled anything from an 18000.

  • i cannot believe all the people commenting who have no idea what they are talking about. nice video by the way.

  • Nice video heavy hauling ,I myself haul heavy but never that big .......

  • For all his noise, I don't see any vids from him.

  • @bbaker904 I think 660 tons is the working capacity of the crane, not it's weight

  • @cranemagic Your dead on, I moved one a little smaller, up mountians to set wind towers, it was a million pound crane. The tracks 85k each the house 85 k the car 65k then the counter weight and 400 or 475' of boom, 9x9. We did it in pieces because it was crappy dirt roads winding up mountians covered with ice, kinda crazy in the winter but it gets your blood pumping.

  • Awsome

  • @cranemagic Mr. Crane Magic, Blow it out your tail pipe buddy, you sound like an idiot
