Here's the fundamental problem: The magnet inside the crate weighs about 18,000lbs. The crate's only purpose is to protect the magnet during transport on a flatbed truck. The magnet has built-in lift points and very specific instructions on how to perform a crane lift. The crate was never intended to be a box that gets lifted with the magnet inside. It should have been lifted off the magnet and then the magnet lifted off the truck. Read the manual!
I worked in the paper industry for five years. We manufactured heavy equipment that had very specific lift points. No matter how many times I told the shipping department that the lift points had to be transferred to crate lift points (properly labeled of course), they repeatedly ignored it. We smashed a few things just like this MRI machine.
Rigging is generally, very poorly done in most industries.
Short answer: When you see a crane or hoist in action, look the fuck out!
Guess who pays for this? Patients like me who have medical insurance. The hospital raises their rates, the insurance companies pay it then turn around and raise my premiums. So its the working man with medical insurance who gets fucked in the end. In this case because of incompetent assholes like thes riggers.
@hootinouts Then find a witch doctor or make use of homeopathy and get rid of your traditional medical. Not all faults related to rigging equipment are because of human error. Chains break, winch cables snap, and straps often stretch. The trucking company's umbrella liability insurance covered the accident not your copay. I see no fault here on the part of the riggers or operator, and what makes you an authority on proper material handling procedure anyway?
@gpgab971 The rigging was faulty. It relied on the weak boards to take a lot of compression from the straps. It is likely that procedure for delivery included opening the machine's box and taking the top off.
Looks to me like they didn't use a top frame for the crane cable support. The weight of the load is crushing the top of the wood crate as the cables pull in.
It looks like at around 0:26 seconds the wooden box strikes some machinery in the top middle right corner there, right near the operator with the remote control.
This is so strange... it bumps it.. then.. a second later starts to crumble and disintegrate and crumble apart until the straps can no longer support it and the weight falls to the right and the pallet starts to flip. The remote operator just casually walks off screen as if nothing tragic has happened. What a waste of a machine.
2 cranes+the twisting=too much chain pressure on the top of the box......would it have possible to forklift it to the ground first, then lift with 1 crane?
oooh ouch!!!... you know someone got canned for that. that gantry would have so much repair, testing and callibration to go through before the hospital would even concider trying to proceed in using it... plus the money they lost due to not being able to scan patients for whatever time period it took to fix or to get a diffrent one. so its probably a 4 million+ mistake
I think this is a filming for some purposes
See the man closely
He never suprised, tried to go away, avoid the crash or do any thing.
He is looking down !!

That was a very very bad move since the start. What they should did is, get off the wood box, and then lift the mri by the four lifting points.
By the way, that costs around 2 million dollars, and the job of the crane guy.
