First of all !! The outriggers are the lifting-points on a crane like this. They can lift the crane so they are up for the stress times 10. The morones lifted the crane with 2 chains one in each end of the boom, instead of 4 and thats why the chains are sliding in the boom. if you look at the lenght of the chains right after the accident it's so easy to see.
They were lifting the Grove GMK 5160 in the video from the correct lift points. It looks like the slings were slightly different lengths on either side, causing the crane to tilt towards the long side. The tilt was enough for the slings to slide. It was a poor rigging job. Shyt happens. Cranes are dangerous and bite hard and fast when not operated precisely.
the operator is an idiot!...if he would have kept it close to the ground,that crane would have had minimal damage...[if any]....and everything would have been fine..
ive never worked in construction or anything liek this but it dosent takea genious to say that it was a retarded idea to mount thows straps to the support armso of the crane. ...epic fail
Lifting from the outriggers is fine, just don't have 2 long slings that can allow the crane to roll. Cranes this size never have lifting points unless they are custom made.
I bet that was a union rigger... i thought the union only had the best, safest, most highly trained workers. what happened? oh, i know, they decided to use half ass rig designs and materials made in china. 100% bet the rigger is still employed and making $67.50 per hour to destroy other peoples equipment.
@13inder13 your a retard inder and your a terrorists sopporter also ,stay out of my turf! i know about your gay lover. you dont know what happened so shut your mouth.you COWARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It looked like it was a tilted lift from the beginning. What a shame. Nice machine destroyed, and for what? My first guess would be someone's impatience.
I'd have quit running when I was a block away, and never gone back. Hugely heavey shit scares me, mainly because I've never been in a situation where the proper equipment was used. I'm not rigger, but I've had the shit scared out of me by idiots I've worked for. I remember unloading a big lathe with two small forklifts, and them having to pile workers on the back to keep the asses down.
Seen this on msn.ca news last year , as if the idiot holding the guide rope is doing anything useful, bad lift and procedure , tilting and then dropping, time to piss in the bottle .
The outriggers take far more weight when they are supporting the crane,counterweight and load. Especially if you are at a long radius and most of the load is only in one or two of them. Lifting a crane like this is fine, as long as you use the correct rigging equipment and arrangement.
How freaking far from the ship was the lift?!?!?!?!!? 10-15metres!!!!??? I mean WTF!! ... check out the how much the ship was leaning toward the docks!
Looks as if the outrigger that's still attached to the lifting chain had far too much stress put on it and it broke apart causing the machine to topple over
Notice the left sling is sliding through the overhead beam because of lifting below center of gravity. Basket rigging the sling is only good if above center of gravity. Four separate slings is the right way to rig that load.
Bolts in the outriggers boys - basics! For me it looked like it tilted, and then one of the outriggers just slid out because it wasn't secured by the bolt - I believe this GMK has outrigger bolts, but as it often happens, a lot of operators are to lazy to put them in. The outrigger's hydraulic cylinder is simply not strong enough to provide the necessary axial restraint for the outriggers - especially in these types of lifts. Way to fast and unstable this lift as well

That lift was doomed from the begining. The load wasn't rigged to the center of gravity so the crane was leaning and put extra stress on half of the wire rope slings. They are lucky that the dock crane didn't come down due to the shock load put on it from the release of all the weight at once.
@malaycobra Can you link me to the trial. i did not know you can be imprisoned for that. Is this maritime law? Can you guide me to some interesting information about this?
I'm Portuguese as well. And i am ashamed to be. We are the most ignorant people. And absolutely hate the green horns that come to America and get upset with you because you don't speak Portuguese. If they had an American there this wouldn't have happened. I bet after this happened they all pointed fingers at each other. I like the greenhorns that try to get away with out talking too much to avoid speaking broken English. But I can tell right away they can't hide that...Speak Eng

I was just waiting for this accident to happen. You know how many tons that truck weighs? No flimsy little boat crane is gonna keep that heavy truck up for long.
Nothing snapped until it was too late. There was no way the crane could have lowered fast enough once it started rolling. If they had been skilled enough to notice, they would have never rigged it the way they did.
Looks like they had the slings basketed through pins in the lifting beam. The crane still has counterweight attached and the high CG made it roll in the slings.
