Cool i’m first
How long does it take to put up!?
Each 4 meter segment (the one used to lift the crane) cost 4000KD to buy (new). This is 1000KD for each meter of height. However, they usually rent them and rarely buy them new unless they need special cranes with special configuration such as the ones with no counter weight (like the one they are using in Burj Dubai).
BoBader, I think even the ones used for constructions in Dubai are rentals from abroad and not purchased.
From down to up, eh?
LOL.. Thanks Mark, now I had an idea(I always wonder) on how those guys assemble and dismantled a crane, from ground up to the top and vice-versa.
Nice!
3azeez: Most likely they are rented but I was talking about Kuwait.
seriously, i thought they wait when there’s nobody around to watch then build the damm things!! or just drop from the ski!
Dude that’s what they are doing!! From the bottom to the top!! segments on top of each other!
In the video they’re adding pieces at the top, not bottom.
