Crane Accident, No Injuries

[PCTREE]

Well if he had the boom at say a 45degree angle to make the pic then when the crane comes over the boom will reach out twice as far , right?? Wheres Mr Blockhead trig?

 

[arborworks1]

That crane was maxed out. I work with that same boom all the time and D is the max on the stick He wasn't that far from the tree to have that much stick out.

I take that back he was a good piece away from that tree. Had to take second look.

Yeah, Paul, after I made the post I rethought it.

There was a 3 crane tip over in India that makes this one look like small potatoes. Check it out at the Buzz.

That's it, Steve.

By the way...

It's "injuries", Butch.

John, are you talking about the crane accident by my house? That guy disappeared and the business folded within a week.

Brian, I think he's refering to the one Butch posted picking a section of trunk over the fence in a back yard

Brazen, man, just brazen...but you are right!

 

[Blinky]

Bummer.

I thought so, but spellcheck wanted it in the possessive. I wonder why?

 

[vharrison]

We've worked together.

They should have called you.

 

[MasterBlaster]

The guy thinks I charge too much. :roll:

 

[vharrison]

hahaha you get what you pay for.

 

[No_Bivy]

what size crane came to set them back upright?

 

[Jonseredbred]

Cutting torch, pickup and a rope.

 

[MasterBlaster]

what size crane came to set them back upright?

I'm not sure, but I think they used two cranes.

 

[Jonseredbred]

Is the guy going to survive this kind of loss?

 

[MasterBlaster]

Actually, I have no idea. He's had several accidents in the past and is still kicking.

 

[sotc]

I'm not sure, but I think they used two cranes.

They normally do, one to stand it up and the other to keep it from flipping the other when gravity start to help

 

[pantheraba]

Bummer.

Hahaha....I love one word jokes.

How does that work ?
Seems like at some point its gonna go up right pretty quick.

 

[DTW902]

1 crane hooked to the side of the crane up in the air. The other crane hooked to the boom. They lift and lower at the same time. Gravity will take over at some point then the 1 crane just lowers it the rest of the way.

 

[woodworkingboy]

Holy cr@p. It looks like an expensive education there, no matter who is paying.

 

[MasterBlaster]

This guy's been educated that way a couple of times, already.

'Injuries' doesn't have a y in it.
