i am thankfully not suffering from ocd but i check/observe my gear very carefully. are you saying that putting the lanyard around the hook doesnt make sense when your disconecting at some point anyway to hook up the chain? :)

its just a nice feeling getting hoisted 45m above hard ground.

on this job i tied into the cambiumsaver with my double line and while the crane was moving around i also put my lanyard through the hook, than when the boom was in position i unclipped my lanyard and rappeled down to where i wanted to attach the chains, than i would rappel to where i wanted to...

yes, and while hoisting with a lanyard. i think i dont get what your getting at?

the rest of the hook looks similar to this.

yes, when capacity allows and we can still set it down. all stick cranes i‘ve worked with had multi sheeve blocks, maybe a european thing?

yes, crane had one of those. basically a sensor so the crane can‘t rip apart its own cable, right?

you mean why the crane is rigged with a multi shheve block and not just with a single strand setup? t

doesnt make sense to me to terminate at the tip as they are loosing m.a. but they probably have a reason!?

never heard of the anti-two block device. can you explain, please? there are a couple of things i will check before working with any crane: ground, condition of chains, is the operaters head and crane hook screwed on properly. a coworker tied in above the hook and somehow the cable got...

no picture, but the terminal end was terminating at the boom tip.

ok, thanks for the feedback. to my knowledge i am not allowed to install anything above the hook. need to recheck that. maybe a heavier duty strap with a shackle (with pin) and a big steel masterlink behind the loadbearing masterlink?

@WoodCutr haha i think were at least equally legit :) where are you attaching it?

@BIGTWIG are these meant to chock around the wire rope on single strand setups? one crane op once told me that i am not allowed to attach anything above the hook. bad things can happen if something get jammed into the pulley sheeves. i used to use a 1 ton webbing loop with a shackle similar to...

i was wondering if that is a legit (enough) way to tie into the crane? its a multi sheeve hook so everything above the actual hook is covered in grease.
