I had to watch a training video today on how to sit in my office chair so I don't hurt myself. Nailed it.

Enormous levels of respect. My vertigo was hitting me so hard that I almost fell out of my computer chair. I absolutely love the level of professionalism and engineering involved in such work and construction.

Восхищение и уважение таким работягам! Не всем такое дано!

They have balls of steel working at that height.

Я пока смотрел у меня сердце пару раз остановилось, пипец высота, респект таким работающим людям

[egorashev]

Работаю машинистом башенного крана, и то у меня ладони вспотели от просмотра, спасибо !!!

i just started loving my jobb down here on the ground

[mxp]

Incredible. I was on the edge of my seat watching. Beautiful cinematography.

why do they give him a harness and fallprotection?
He needs a friggin parachute...

What's most impressive is the crane did not collapse under the weight of that guy's balls.

The final shot where the tech was standing on the rails of the basket at the end of the boom, that made my nut sack crawl up. Damn. People used to do stuff like that without safety equipment.

I climbed cell towers for years installing the towers themselves and all sorts of different antennas and cables. My record work height is 454’ on a tower in Northern VA outside of Richmond. This is really high. I’d love to work on something like this. I am a bit long in the tooth now to go back to my halcyon days, but I’d do it just for the thrill. Good video and the Liebherr cranes were an integral part of doing our work in the cell tower industry. The best hydro cranes on the market worldwide.

I will never understand lack of fear in this incredible man!

[erix]

Wow! Amazing! For me being scared of heights - this was a real trigger video! Maximum respect to all involved in this project!

[gangesexcavating]

You gotta watch this with English subtitles on.

I get sweaty palms just watching this! Crazy video. I guess a guy just pushes through the fear of heights. True respect to that Leibherr mechanic. Wow!

[portnuefflyer]

Smart operator, he has an oiler, and he never gets out of that heated cab!

[MegaSnow]

Looks so cold. Yet very impressive. The walk out on that crane arm (or whatever they called it) was scary to watch. Nerves of steel, those guys.

[ernstbatzlaff]

Alle Achtung. Nerven wie Drahtseile und keine Angst. Ich bewundere solche Menschen. 👍

[GoBlue]

Impressive! The worker (nerves of steel), the crane (unmatched ingenuity), the views (spectacular), the unparalleled: Liebherr!
