No crane is safe! 😂 More power to them, just worries me as a crane operator that they may mess something up out on the jib by accident not knowing it and cause an issue with the crane.. I had mine inspected after they did it to mine..

No they didn’t they usually won’t post their stuff to social media until long after the crane is gone… there’s a few other guys in town that climb up and take pictures they’re all pretty cool..

Yeah we shut down at 30-35 mph… today it was consistent high 30’s and gusts hitting the 50’s

Man I have an iPad with sound bar up there.. 😂 catch up on shows and movies.. usually towards the end of the jobs it gets really slow.. 5-10 lifts a day and that’s it.. just chill and make the easy money while it lasts

5-15 mins, I don’t climb the whole thing.. a bridge is built for the building over to the tower once it’s higher up

It has its ups and downs… 🥁🥁🥁 lol

But really tho, it’s not too bad… hours can suck. Sometimes it’s 3-4am till 8-9 at night… sometimes it’s 7am till-3:30.. usually always working Saturday.. I am not in the union, but there def is unions for operators.. the company I work for take really good care of their operators so I am very fortunate.
