We (www.advantageelectricians.com) were wiring up a continuous motion pool/hot-tub in Shoreview MN the home owner was over seeing all the work himself had the hole dug rented the crane operator etc.. We were onsite waiting for the pool to be set so we could bond the frame and what not, when things took a wrong turn.... I was filming with my phone and I heard the crane operator scream and I took off running toward the front of the house as soon as he started to yell I knew something went wrong. It sounded like thunder when the thing hit the house knocked out the chimney crushed the garage and busted up the house good. The operator was shaking in his boots scared the hell out of him not to mention things like this do not happen they have a load chart that prevents things like that.. needless to say he was on the phone with the owner of the company right away. Crazy Friday....

  • uhh what are we doing here

  • There goes his pay check and references

  • its pretty straight forward, if you look at the load chart, and your load if its 75% or more of the weight at the maximum distance you need to do a lift calculation. distance angle weight etc.

    sometimes you need to factor in the ground type, this time ground type wasn't the issue but rather just too heavy for what the crane was rated for at that distance.

  • DAMN IT ROSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • How come every crane does that ? Can't we understand we need to put some weight on the crane's base so it won't mess up ?
