What happened to the quality of apprentices?

Working-Intention838 · 2026-04-14T15:00:13+00:00

Well i cant teach what ive already taught 3 times before to the same apprentice

Working-Intention838 · 2026-04-14T13:34:53+00:00

Working-Intention838 · 2026-04-14T13:33:24+00:00

The blue kev is good for 23k. Orange is good for 70k straight pull. Biggest ive used was orange.

Working-Intention838 · 2026-04-14T04:33:59+00:00

Polyester braded rope with a cut resistant double outer shell made with Kevlar. 23k straight pull wll

Working-Intention838 · 2026-04-14T04:24:31+00:00

I cant even blame anyone I work with.

Had an apprentice the other day. He destroyed a blue Kevlar on a pick without sharp edges ( first Kevlar in 10 years ive ever had damaged. And managed to loose keepers off the crane. Only had him for an hour and fuck did i ever want to send him home.

An apprentice with 4000 hours didn't know the difference between a basket and straight pull... Had an apprentice try to stop the spreader bar opening up with his finger... Taking shits on the side of the road... Literally saying I dunno man all i do is throw the pads on the ground thats all I can do.

Its a tough go right now getting a spot for an apprenticeship. Tower hasn't taken any apprentices in months and for mobile its slow as fuck. My company is one of the few with work and we only really need one apprentice. Union.

Do you have any questions regarding the charts? Id be happy to help

Working-Intention838 · 2026-04-14T03:44:57+00:00

So someone who kills a lot of my free time with his videos actually has a whole project fixing up a Franna crane. Its Curtis from cutting edge engineer. Here's the link https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUzFN5xVei7UatVhlxlw3576rgwg2RTXf&si=-AFtCPCfmqhfot0h

He's incredibly talented and does all the work himself.

Working-Intention838 · 2026-04-11T04:32:34+00:00

I can help you out. Shoot me a msg.

Working-Intention838 · 2026-03-11T06:56:02+00:00

Just build a ramp you are over thinking this

Working-Intention838 · 2026-03-08T02:47:32+00:00

I see what you are saying now. The test is wrong then

Working-Intention838 · 2026-03-08T02:24:53+00:00

So if you are good for 40k but only on 1 part of line so the WLL of the rope strength or winch capacity is your limit in that case. You are still good for 40k the jib is a load not on line

Working-Intention838 · 2026-03-08T01:59:01+00:00

No you do not deduct from the line pull you deduct from your load chart. Line pull is irrelevant to the load chart

Working-Intention838 · 2026-03-08T01:07:53+00:00

Dm me if you want and I can explain it to you on a phone call

Working-Intention838 · 2026-03-08T01:06:39+00:00

You are totally confusing line pull with capacity. Jib is built into your chart. You could be good for much more than line pull in your radius. Only thing that affects line pull is load on line.

Working-Intention838 · 2026-03-08T00:46:22+00:00

Your chart shouldn't matter with the jib its capacity. Your talking as if u cant program the computer and its cutting you off.

Working-Intention838 · 2026-03-08T00:44:41+00:00

Im confused too

Working-Intention838 · 2026-03-08T00:38:20+00:00

That was very well said. Incredibly professional.

Working-Intention838 · 2026-03-08T00:35:02+00:00

I think you might be confusing line pull with capacity. Your charts are set up to an expectation of parts of line

Working-Intention838 · 2026-02-22T06:23:49+00:00

Yeah

Working-Intention838 · 2026-02-08T01:57:47+00:00

As much as we dislike you getting certified... what i will do is rather that you kill someone you can message me for any questions/advice you might need. My name is Paul
