    Thank you always wanted to see one of these put together.
  • Im back up liverpool next week going to have a look at the progress made since my last visit. Without a drone a trip up the liverpool one tower seems to give a good perspective even though a distance away

    Well done, great photography, almost like being there combined with the noise of the diesels ticking over. Thankyou, Bob, New Zealand.

    Great video. Those cranes are fairly easy to put together just big and heavy bits . Myself a rigger and crane driver used to put together 250 and 300 ton crawler cranes in 3 to 4 days worst part was reeving the hook a truly horrible job

    Nice video Paul. Wonder what soft of safety record Ainscough have.
  • Excellent job of panning away from every single connection. The way you spent 3 minutes covering the boom sections being unloaded, only to pan away as they are being connected together, or to the carrier, genius camera/editing work. And don't get me started on how enjoyable it was to watch almost 4 minutes of train footage...I was on the edge of my seat. Top job for the camera work. Anyone can film a steady shot, it takes a really special guy to include such random shakes and twitches as you did. Bravo, sir, bravo.
  • Great job, you cover each and every aspect of the action, plus you caught all the railroad action. For a railfan, I couldn't ask for more.

    Absolutely fantastic video. Great work all around.
  • I wish you ahve shown how they unhooked the lifting device for the tracks from that hydraulic cylinder.
  • Why is it no one got hurt nor any equipment failure as is always shown on other videos. Everything on this video is nice and clean?
  • @billdoody2338
    If you put these tracks on this machine a lot have a 6foot spreader bar designed for the load lose the synthetics

    I've seen similar size Bridges lifted with smaller craines so why the big one interested to know what other things determine what type of crain is needed grate video
  • Wish you saw some key sections getting connected instead of panningg away. And how in blazes did this turntable pivot once it was fully assembled? It seems it was boxed in by that bridge and wall combo. So much preparation just to assemble this crane. WHEW!

    8:36 safely first, even when the point where he hooked himself won't keep him from falling, but at least he doesn't get pulled up with 🤣
