♪ So much to learn about ♪
♪ It'll make you wanna shout ♪
♪ Blippi ♪
- Whoa, hey it's me Blippi
and do you see what's behind me?
Yeah,a bunch of logs.
Today I'm at the Port of
Olympia in Olympia, Washington,
And these logs are chopped down
exported to different countries,
So then they can build houses.
But Washington
state is really cool
because for every one tree
that gets chopped down,
the companies here
have to plant at least
three new trees (laughs)
So I think we should
explore the port.
But first I need some
safety equipment.
I love being safe.
All right, let's go
explore the port.
Whoa, do you see that?
That is a crane and it's so big.
I love cranes because they can
grab things from the ground
and lift them really
high up in the air.
Yeah, really heavy things.
I'm gonna go explore this crane.
Check it out.
These are the crane's
wheels and tires.
Yeah, the tires are back.
And the wheels are
the color blue.
Did you also notice
how they're two wide
Yeah, one, two
It's not just one, it's two.
Hey, I have an idea,
Why don't we count all of
these wheels and tires.
All right, I'll start over here.
Okay, we have
one,
two,
three,
four,
five,
six,
seven,
eight,
eight wheels and tires.
But wait a second,
Remember how I said
they're two wide.
Okay, so we have eight times two
eight times two, that's .
Good job.
But wait a second.
We're only on one side.
So it has a whole other
set on the other side.
So here we go.
times
two (sighs)
That's really hard.
Let's see, times two
wheels and tires.
Good job
(gentle music)
Do you see that?
There's actually a
worker right here.
Let's go talk to him.
Hello
- Hey Blippi
- Who are you?
- I'm Frank.
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you too
- What do you do here?
- I maintain equipment
on the marine terminal.
And today we're looking at the
Gottwald Mobile Harbor Crane.
- Wow, great. That's so cool.
Can we go up?
- Yes let's go.
- Let's go, come on.
(upbeat music)
(lively music)
Whoa we made it.
- Come on in.
Do you see it?
I'm gonna sit down in the chair.
This is where the operator sits.
Wow, look at how high we are.
This is so cool.
So we're about feet
in the air, roughly.
That's about yards or meters
And do you see those
hooks right there?
They're used to grab things.
This can grab anything from
logs to boats to pallets.
Yeah, so many things.
(lively music)
And come check this out.
Look at those big cables.
This is the hoist room.
They are so big, look.
(lively music)
And this room is
the electrical room.
Look at all this
Hey look, there's another worker
looks like he's just working.
Hey
cool.
All right, let's get
out of this place.
Now we're going into
the engine room.
Look at how big this engine is.
Frank, how big is this engine?
- It's so big.
It's got cylinders and it's
a twin turbo Cummins diesel.
- And that is a big
powerful engine.
(gentle music)
Look at how big that hook is.
Watch out it's swinging.
Did you see how big that is?
That's what they use to
pick up really heavy things.
All right.
(dramatic tone)
Check it out, this
is a log stacker.
It has these big claws.
Check it out.
They're so massive.
Actually this is
called the head, yeah.
And those on the top are
called the hold downs.
And right here, that's the boom.
Yeah, which helps lift the
head and the hold downs.
Do you see that hydraulic
cylinder up there?
That is a giant
hydraulic cylinder.
Speaking of giant, look
at this wheel and tire.
It's taller than I am.
And it's really dirty
look how greasy it is.
That's okay.
Check out in here.
You see all these hoses,
those are hydraulic hoses,
pushes fluid through
them, pulls it back
and then everything
moves around.
Another wheel and tire.
This machine is so big.
Oh, and come back here.
That is the engine compartment.
You see that?
It's a massive engine.
Oh and go to the back here.
This is where the radiator is.
You see that giant fan?
Yeah, it spins around
and pushes air through it
to cool the machine down.
And you can't forget
about the cab.
Let's see.
Way up there, that's the cab.
Oh, hey someone's
even in the cab.
Hey, hello
Oh, hey it's Frank.
Hey Frank
- Hey Blippi
- How are you?
- Good. How are you?
- Pretty good.
Just showing my friends a
tour of your amazing machine.
Hey, I have a question.
Can you open and close the head?
- I sure can.
- All right.
- Here we go.
- This is gonna be awesome.
(upbeat music)
(crane engine roaring)
(lively music)
Check it out, this
is a massive ship.
This vessel is the vessel
that they load all
these logs onto.
And then it goes
out into the ocean
and transports and
delivers the logs.
What does this sign say?
Restricted area,
authorized personnel only.
Haha that's you and I, let's go.
Those are some big logs
And there's so many of them.
I think you and I should
count them. Ready?
One, two, three, four,
five, six,
seven, eight, nine,
, ,
, ,
, ,
, ,
, .
Oh no, I lost track.
Okay. Well anyhow,
I think we should let all the
log stacker get back to work.
So we should probably
get out of here
and then they'll stack
some more logs on the ship.
All right, see ya
This is a small boat.
This is a medium sized boat.
This is a big boat
And what it also has
is this travel lift.
This travel lift goes
right over the water,
drops these belts
down to the water
and then it can lift up a boat
or it could do the opposite
where it could hoist the boat,
one of those parked
boats over there,
over the water and
then drop it down.
But hey, check these out.
These are some massive belts.
They are so strong.
Actually this thing
can lift up about
the weight of
seven school buses.
That is so much weight.
Okay, let's get
out of their way.
So then they can lift up a boat.
This is gonna be cool.
This machine is so big
