  • may not have been reel ends may have been round wood outrigger pads but yea.... no way enough on residential driveway. nothing wrong with using a 2 part line(which is what i saw) with a 4 part block as long as its approved by the block manufacturer. what happened is the operator went outside the chart. never argue with physics. ever. THATS WHAT HAPPENS GOING OUTSIDE THE CHART FOR THE CURRENT CONFIGURATION OF THE UNIT

  • there are several indicators that this guy did not know what he was doing 1. reel ends for cribbing on 4" thick concrete driveway is not enough for any crane much less this one that I would guess is about a 70t. 2. that pool only weighed about 2 or 3 k yet he had a 4 part in. 3. and the reason for the accident no counterweight plus alot of stick and low boom angle usually means CRASH!! just the humble opinion of a 21 year operating engineer. Hire union!!!

  • umm.. sucks to be that guy.. the decimal might have been in the wrong place

  • Maybe it would have worked better --- if the pool wasn't full of water??! Kidding! : )

    Was anyone swimming at the time? : )

  • Why have the load 30-40 feet in the air!!! You gotta boom out more , keep the load 12 inches off the ground!

  • "What happened? "

    Crane operator fail.
