mobile crane accidents

[cute4188]

what's name of the song? thx!!!!

[ScientificExploits]

Sometimes it goes wrong? With this music you make the theory of gravity sound like some conspiracy. Thanks for collecting all these though.

[alien8zano]

wow L2blog, youtube is for videos geeez

[b1ftse37]

As the owner of the largest locally owned crane company on the shore of Lake Superior Canada I find it absolutely appalling and immature that someone would stand beside a capsized crane and smile for the camera. Obviously this idiot is not the owner or operator of that unit. If my cranes ever showed up on a job site where this GOOF was working I would make it a condition that he is not on the job.

[dzipline1]

@b1ftse37 Some people have no respect for other's property. what an ignorant basterd.

[elfake]

@b1ftse37 No one, can smile in a crane accident, if he is a crane operator, that is true.

[haydnglv]

@MrJuno6 Yeh me too ... silly me :/

[umka66]

ГАЛИЧ 16 - тонн забавно видеть среди катов таданов и либхеров ))

[baychecks100]

@MrJuno6  i know, cuz i thought he misspelled Demoiselle Crane and was referring to birds symbolically significant to North India culture.

[EluPK]

what is this song?!?!

[reinsalkas]

it usually takes a crane to get it out...

[marcuspianostar]

what music is that



[coolfist34]

damn good nazi zombies map

[tomueki]

!!SAFETY FIRST!!

Now 1458days since last accident.

[fredyarango]

me gusta la musica es la de 28 days later

[dannomitey]

this is a good vid from Oz youtube.com/watch?v=4OOg7vL3rN­Y

[hrspwr]

Oh my, I`m starting to feel tipsy.

[NwThe]

these are not various pics of the world those are variouse pics of taiwan and china:P

[gattler]

so trucks feel like standing now a days, big deal.

[vistagoupu]

whats the name of the music?

[cornbon]

@vistagoupu the song is called "In the house - in a heartbeat"

[AFowkingPanda]

@MrJuno6 lol if you can make a cheeze sandwitch with a crane... you got some tallent... or your a woman... :D jk.... but ya... information was helpful XD

[gregbails4]

By my calculations, 36 career's, as well as pairs of underpants were completly ruined in this video...

[TheDBall73]

seriously, the music?  lol

[MannyO1995]

this is more like a crane fail video...

[dragkid185]

with this many cran accidents it wouldn't hurt to put something that prevents the crane from lifting something that's too heavy.

[MrBonkers96]

@dragkid185 they do...its called a brain!......most cranes have an override switch. far too many operators think that they can use 100% of a cranes SWL.

[nateyboy1156]

@cod6bubble what movie was this song from? i wanna say 48 days later?

[tristan9891]

they all fell over trying to get the first one up!

[EvilMushroomProd]

they use another crane to get the first crane up right

[braadworstjesman]

have you seen the film 28 days that is where that song but that is also responsible for a great movie dude

[braadworstjesman]

wow dude whats the name of the song

[higgo88]

hahah baldwins at hartlepool lol



[SGVknarf]

FAKE! everyone knows those are Transformers

[daniellandgrens]

Cranes have a security switch that many override daylie to lift more.

Some cheap bastards ask for a lower ton crane so save money cause they know some cranedrivers override cause they ahve maybe driven 50km to get there.

In German its better.

The boss at a construction site take the key and if the alarm goes basiclly u geta bigger crane. The bigger cost is not your problem..

[smartrigcranes1]

Mobile cranes can be dangerous. When in tight spaces mini cranes like the Smart-Rig Crane can be a great solution and safer.

[ch4rlietaylor99]

what is the song a reply would be nice thanks, good vid by the way.

[bigt1nyhatch]

I've done commercial work for years and Operators who lift more than the limit is very common.

If an operator refuses to attempt a dangerous load, he is sent home and someone else will take his place. The guy who cares nothing about safety has job security... he gets it done! Fuck up I know... god bless America.

[drache202]

musik aus 28 weeks later

[WasGibtsLeute]

spooky music

[XLosSantosX]

hey at 0:32 the crane is from lithuania :D I can read it

[daniel1100ify]

0:45 , i want that building moved, pronto!

[MrAwesome9921]

33333

[WMFRadosc]

Music is from '28 days' movie.

[the21andonly]

1:39 couldn't handle the savings.

[nateyboy1156]

@the21andonly good one.

[ryanstruk1]

The music is actually Godspeed you Black Emporer track called East Hastings.

[RAMSEYDAX]

This is why operators need to go to a union apprenticeship to learn the trade instead of letting some ratt farmer with 3 months experience handle one of the most dangerous pieces of equipment on a job site. When I worked in the field and knew loads were going to be overhead I always went and scoped out the operator to make sure I knew what he was doing and was comfortable with him.

[johnnyachavez0]

outriggers not extended?

[viperfire1]

whats the name of that music? very cool lead up!

[fliipso]

At least the cables didn't snap.

[tredeep]

wow..thats wild..its one thing to see video but its another to see it in person..we had one of those massive crains flip where i work @ the Mobile refinery a couple days ago..its quite a jolt to see such an earth mover end over end !!

[carveriscool]

My teacher showed me this video in class and it has a real creepy soundtrack. But we have an electrical shop that we work in and all the lights were off. Shit was spoooooky. Lol and the door to the shop was open. I sit right next to it.

[jvcrules]

what song is this?

[Frozensmokeprod]

@jvcrules it's from "28 days later"

[bakker230]

@jvcrules I dont know for sure, but i know its from Metro 2033

[RoboKAZAK]

Who knows the name of this song playing?

[kokottable]

...and moves itself horizontally or vertically

[SOUTHHEIGHTS9]

28 Weeks Later

[MadManix]

@SOUTHHEIGHTS9 dont 4get 28 Days

[nowurine]

Muse i love thsi song

[roaddemon01]

This is why we have requirements for crane certifications. The Operator is responsible for the lift, not the riggers. The site foreman is responsible for telling the operator the weight of the lift. If the operator would follow the lifting chart, most of these wouldn't happen.

[globalfreez]

riggers fault..

[Decoded69]

wow it seems alot of these are fairly unrealiable, especially that sims model lol. So how do you safely put tip them back up? Use another crane haha.

[ChancerG]

Everyone of these accidents is a result of cranemen not taking the correct signal from the slinger xD.Dam cranemen :P

[axty87]

@uberstudenhoffen lol, im not talking about the big fuckers in this vid. The smaller cranes, ones that look more like trucks. I wouldn't call myself an expert, only an observer. I grew up in, and have worked in mining towns/sites dotted around everwhere, young guys with little to no experience chasing big money trying to meet deadlines.. or just plain fucking stupid. You work in logistics, or mining in Aus you'll see some amazing things. Especially during a skilled workers shortage.

[DinoMark74]

buy the updated safe load indicator.



[singapore7773]

@DinoMark74 hey could you do a brief safe load indicator description for me. I know next to nothing about cranes and was recently put in charge of a 52' crane with a max cap of 4,900lbs. I am trying to learn quick. thx for any help.

[axty87]

Its amazing how often crane accidents happen. Of all the rolled vehicles ive seen the majority have been cranes, and the main reason has been the driver not bothering to raise the truck on its feet.

[MrRonnilee]

Die Deppen, man muss auch an ein Contergewicht Denken

[3154231]

oops



[KROLIKAN]

watws the name of the song ?!

[theo1888phun]

the song is In The House - In A Heartbeat by John Murphy

[stijnstaessens]

Shit happens

[TheNuckingfut]

@stijnstaessens yeah, you did!!!!!

[TheTuktuk42]

@cod6bubble are you refering to 28 weeks later? coz thats such an awesome movie

[Joshikig7]

This song is on KICKASS :D

[MATUXAZ]

0:34 from my country- klaipėdos kranai. lol :D

[Rexang1]

What is the song called?



[bmxpro66]

i like how they have to use another crane to get the other one back upright lol

[gundrag000]

a human is more dangerous than mass zombies. why ? becuz human is smart than zombie. even a human can beat 9999999 zombies. zombie and alien stuff is really stupid. when can all you stop to make bloody violation stuffs for smart brain and good mental like asians ?...

[njlsutherton]

@gundrag000 What the hell are you talking about?

[gundrag000]

@njlsutherton i mean you are stupid

[CTA3003]

Love the flippen end of the world music.

[bestamerica]

'

accident crane is a big wrong parking position,,,

must be front DRIVER position while crane wokring on it,,,

never rear, never both either sides,,,

only front driver position

[waterboy438]

if the load is too heavy pack up and go, it's your ass no body elses.

Avoid soft ground channels board out if neccessary, make sure ground is sound before settling and keep 1m plus depth of excavation away from the ditch. Overriding/faulty safety system spells disaster. Erratic slewing, load swinging out of radius, jib deflection. Appointed person should have produced method statement for lift.

[ramblinman6300]

They foreman don't run the crane

[poldsmobile]

@ramblinman6300

exactly. when operating any plant equipment, the foremans authority is below that of the operator. end of.

[bah27]

Increible, las gruas son muy fuertes pero cuando cuando las cargas salen de su alcance se va todo abajo

[breezebro]

Just say NO!

There's gotta be a gauge or meter or something that tells the operator when he is lifting too much weight.

[RH587]

@breezebro

Doesn't always help. Oerload meters will stop you overloading the system, but they won't account for operator error - like not putting down adequate outrigger mats to spread the weight on soft ground, or using inappropriate outrigger settings.

Failure of the supporting ground is responsible for a high proportion of collapses.

Also if they are moving half-rigged and forget to engage the slew lock, the upperstructure can swing round and the counter-weight rolls it over.

[raptoid3]

how hard can you flip a mobile crane, well my question is awnsered

[neo296]

number 3 was in the nertherlands

[keepitreallol]

I love this soundtrack :D 28 days later..

[GeneralG1810]

I bet there was a few cases of brown trou involed in those

[HigherWaysWoman]

Bless these guys hearts!! I've worked to rebuild Unit 22 at Phillips 66 Refinery in Borger/Phillips Texas, was the first woman & 1st female Roustabout Foreman in the Texas Panhandle Oilfield....no one wants things like this to happen. Construction work is a Very

Dangerous field to work in...as you can see from these photos. What we all hope & pray is...no one got hurt, it's what "matters most" I take my hat off to the working men & women of the world! hooowaaah to you all!!!

[LutherBIissett]

In addition to the accidents being horrible, most of the photos are very bad, which, along with the music, makes this a hell of a depressing experience. Thanks.

[siliconsurf]

it pays to learn some basic engineering... these crane drivers are morons!

[Erictheirritated]

@siliconsurf Long before most of these accidents bells and sirens should have been screaming their head off in the cab. With most crane systems the computer should have stopped the crane from lifting before they went over. In each case you have to ask who did what to enable the capsize to occur.

Then there are the cases of too small a pad on soft ground. Foolish optimism prevails in these cases.

[IRONSEAN7]

Ive been an ironworker for 10 years, and have worked with cranes a lot, ive never seen a crane go over, and pray to god i never do, work safe to all...

[V8DRIFTER]

Bloody idiots no excuses for this sort of crap, it shouldnt happen

[RollinOnEdge]

Haha...I've got some pictures on my phone from my dumbass foreman tipping one over

[donnyrocker1]

Found one at 1:49 ,, big parking lot and this guy sets up for a pick off the side with jib??????the side no off the rear???

[MADTASS]

Love the Music.

[countlickmore]

yes it is called rage

[iloveeatingglue]

1:40 that kinda looks like my family dollar

[CaptainTGblu]

Transformers! Decepticons, roll out!

[mattrax55]

The dope heads they know ther wight limmits are

[tehs3raph1m]

srsly... know your weight limits!

if mass times distance = more weight than the truck dont lift it

[DetroitLove4U]

So would this suggest mobile cranes are not safe?

[thepawnagerz]

made in china

[deliveriesinrear]

driver: SHIT! SHIT! SHIT! *crane flips and driver opens door 10 ft of ground* FUCK BOSS! FUCK!

[57bigjoe]

You're all fired!!

[TSM8088]

I'd like to see a toppled crane that was trying to reset a toppled crane... I'm sure it's happened somewhere.

[TheAggiesfan86]

Haha great fail pics

[showbert22]

The only way this audio is appropriate is if a couple of brave operators gave their lives in the name of lift. Otherwise i find the mishaps hilarious

[marmiteblobofdeath]

I love it when there are cranes HELPING cranes

[SuperKimbo4]

When is windy the crane is in danger

[gester100]

nice photoshop

[TruckinAussie]

I operated a crane truck for a while yrs ago, Too many fuckhead foreman wanted too much weight lifted into ridiculous places, these rigs have their limitations too ! (obviously)

[novakane87]

@TruckinAussie That is probably the biggest problem in construction sites is that the foreman want to act all hard and cause some inexperienced crane operators to do things the normally wouldn't do causing problems like these.

[farmer6987]

@TruckinAussie YOU HAVE THE FINAL SAY ON THE LIFT. GROW SOME BALLS BEFORE YOU HURT SOMEONE

[DecepticonTubaPlayer]

@TruckinAussie I operate three different cranes for an erection company. If a rig is turned over, its the operater fault, you should know the limitations and dos and donts.

[MillyVanillification]

@TruckinAussie You are right. The lever is enormous and no foreman should have the saying when it comes to safety issues. Those guys have no idea of physics.

[MrRickoscar]

@TruckinAussie  Your correct.

[Defaultconfig]

@TruckinAussie the world economy is shit and the working guy is gonna pay. were gonna push our rigs and risk ourselves to put food on the table. to pay for some fat deaf slob politician's sumer home? gimme a break

[webpixblinky]

2:07 Derwent Bridge, Tasmania, Australia

[bonedmonkey]

Nice wheelie

[BlueCloneTrooper521]

the 2nd picture looks like a prison escape attempt

[TruckinAussie]

2Blu.. Looks more like a communication tower attempt to me !

[UNSCSpartan043]

ive only seen a 80t RT crane tip on a job sight scared the shit out of us i was flyin iron on the buildin just north of the buildin that it fell onto. a couple of buddies actually had to run to avoid gettin hit by the pipe that was being flown in

[dvxdude12]

"ah I can pick it" (holds override button) BURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR, BANG CRASH, BOOM!!!

.....well guess not. So many fucking stupid crane operators do this, "computer don't know fuck all!" trys to pick it then flips the crane OOPS

[croolies]

if they didnt make overides buttons so they arnt used,

[gabrielsantafe]

odio las fotossssss por que no suben videos putosssssss

[Fucklesticks]

Subilos vos, inutil.

[sopradarnota]

in 2002 , a company was contructing a gas station in front of my house, when they were putting the gas tanks on the wholes... guess what happened ??

the same you see on this video ! lol

the truck fell on the whole .

[inmand]

isnt that the music from 28 days later. great choice. its amazing the power and memory a song can hold

[jimmyjacka1]

yes it is ..

[jacktheripped]

after seeing all of these I think what is needed is "U" shaped weights that set over the out-rigger legs. To the tune of about 40,000 lbs worth of weights. a standard semi load.

[duffymudder]

should follow the safe working load.And ground condition.Dun need to be a scientist to know that,

[Dab11082]

Amazing!

What is the music from?

[camzroon]

@Dab11082 the music is from 28 days later.

In The House-In A Heartbeat by John Murphy

[Dab11082]

Thank you

[MrHobiecat]

So all you need to be a crane operator is an uncle in the business? How can so many people be so stupid?

[DammitDrag]

every one of these accidents can be directly atributed to shitty operators.

[TheZekerod]

big crane!!!!

[SlashLesPaul321]

what song is this?

[BW248]

look for "28 days later sound track"

[Siggi315]

Ganz einfache erklärung für mich....

...auf irgendeine Seite war was zu schwer....

und wenn ich überlege...ham die in ihre Kräne in Amerika und England keine Lastbegrenzungsendschalter oder sind die alle ausgebaut worden ???....*grübel**

[Joaking77]

Hello, somewone knows what is the title of this music???

Thanks

[Rabbit12100]

those are some bigass cranes...

[skyypilot]

WOW! The ones where the truck us standing on end are just amazing

[TimeGap79]

Is it just me, or is the majority actually Tadano Cranes?

[MattSynysterRx20]

mr crane decided to be space shuttle to fly to space but didn't have enough lifting power thats all..

[SAIKON72]

oh my god, the misic is.......!!

[colorectal45]

one reason crane accidents have increased is they started leting these chimpanzees from south of the border operate them for the lower pay factor.and those guys dont think that they're being unsafe when they make a dumb lift, they think they're being brave.I know it is an old argument but they forced me to seek a different career after 20 years.

[newton92able]

fucking brilliant hahahaha

[asbestosfiber]

@colorectal45 knucklehead. If you are good this would not be a problem. your problem exists between seat and levers

[newton92able]

they r all lifting too much weight for the angle of reach surely they should have some idea of weight restrictions preventing tipping points of the crane i mean common sense tells u if ur lifting 10 tons and ur crane weighs 8 as soon as u lift outside of the cranes base ur goin to tip urself over..!!!!

[generaltji]

Thank you Dr. crane physics guy!!!

[TimeGap79]

One calls it counterweights. Unless the site inspector totally screwed up not only the radius of the lift, but also the weight of the lift...

[MrGimli2]

like all of them fell backwords

[wesalloa]

the music in this video is by a composer called john murphy , its from the film 28 days later , he also did a spectacular score for the movie sunshine , music to realy LIFT you!

[whytepohnee]

it sounds alot like duran duran's Chauffer

[carbomb47]

3rd picture no outriggers out

[Remas70]

what is this song?

[supressorgrid]

Familiarity breeds contempt. God just waits for you to get cocky.

[TheTx3]

70-80% of these accident are due to operators negligence. some of them carrying goods without maintaining the right degree of angle. and most of the time the crane it self are not properly maintained due to human negligence. however there are other contribution to this type of accidents. Such as sudden wind change or ground deform. hope this will help......

[Kirmse1990]

i so love the music track...

[munteanuioan]

too much weight
