This is Awesome. Testa Corporation is a Great company. We worked with them on a Bridge job in Quincy last year.

@ssdphoto Or become a longshoreman.

I was going to say the same thing.
These guys should not be doing this until they learn basic rigging rules.
The other issue is: What are the load ratings of the tires when used in that manner? They would need to be marked with their WLL in order to be legally used in overhead lifting. They would also need to rated for shock loading.

very informative, and nice like your other videos

Looks like they are putting some of the clamps on wrong. The "saddle or flat part should always be on the live or load bearing part of the cable. " Never put a saddle on a dead horse". Sorry fellas but OSHA would not approve.

Wow That Was Good Job Guys...^_^
how does one get into a crew for a crane company and how important are the tires? it seems like something more specifically engineered and official looking would be used. seriously, how does one get into this kind of trade, that beats any boring and seemingly redundant customer service job.

This kind of work beats any pencil pushing 9-5 desk job. If you like working with your hands, getting dirty, working in all kinds of environments, in all weather, 100's of feet in the air or several stories underground building America then this is the job for you. Go to tradeschool to be a master mechanic or a CAT diesel tech, go to operators school or just start as a laborer and work your way up over the years.

how does one get into such a sweet job such as a crane company?

These guys work for the demolition company. To be a crane operator you go to operators school, apprentice as an oiler for years and then eventually get into the seat.

The tires absorb the shock from when the ball goes straight through or causes the line to go tight. Without the tires the force of the ball falling after a direct strike would cause the cable to snap like a lead weight on a thread.
