@vxss6slot Whoops. Also, you now add that the crane 'comes with about 80t of counter weigh'. With 80t of counter weighTs, surely that makes the crane's weight 140t ?

The only thing you could correct me on here is the typo where i put 56t crane instead of 60t crane. Anyway. As I have said, i was merely tying to point out how dangerous it was for these guys to walk underneath the crane. Would you have done the same?

@vxss6slot Thanks very much for your advice. Having now been able to re-read the title of the video, I can confirm that it still says "265ton crane lifting 1 more 265ton". In my books this is telling me the crane weighs 265t. You corrected me the other day and told me it weighs 60t, or as you eloquently put it "lifting capacity is 265t, the crane weights 60t". So the origin of the 60t is YOU.

You are arguing semantics with me and ignorong the point of my message. Workmen taking stupid risk

@effigymotion read carefully....Lifting Capacity is 265t....which means the crane can lift a max. of 265t. so why would u say its a 60t crane??? It also comes with about 80t of counter weigh (or ballast as the yanks call it) so it can lift 265t at 3metres

@vxss6slot h silly me. There was me assuming that the title of the video would be accurate. Surely it should be 56tonne crane lifting another 60t crane?

And the point I was making was that whether its 1t, 60t or 265 tonnes, a hard hat is not going to save you if it falls on your head.

[vxss6slot]

@effigymotion lifting capacity is 265t, the crane weights 60t

[effigymotion]

they have things called tripods nowadays... they keep the camera steady and make it easier to watch.

WTF are all these guys standing underneath the lifted crane for? Will their hard hats protect them if the 265 ton vehicle falls? Meh.
