ha ha by the looks of it the out rigger isnt out ha ha man their are wankers here who dont know how to use them and they tip over

[MacGyver29600]

I totally agree with you stressedpig! Not only that, they're always measing around with our construction sites and our sales office (because we're the competition)... they own the entire golf course here and sold us the plots of land.

hey man were abouts was this ???

did the outrigger snap or was the ground unstable?

wat size was the boom and who is the manufacturer ??

[MacGyver29600]

This was in Marbella (Malaga), Spain. I only know that they didn't estimate the weight properly and that's why the pump turned over. It was laying over the street...

Not sure about what kind of pump it was.

seriously?who the fuck runs a pump truck without the outriggers extended?yeah i'd say someone got fired.the guy above me said they "didn't estimate the weight properly",no shit they're construction workers not engineers.it's not hard to get the weight right when you have the outriggers extended.meaning you wouldn't have to worry about it tipping.the hopper couldn't have been that big on the truck,that weight would have been a factor if he would have done shit properly.

There are 2 cranes. The video looks misinterpreted. If you look at 0:34 when the video moves over to the tip of the pump the 2 cranes are lifting the concrete pumping truck on an angle to get a further reach into the site. It hasn't fallen over & it hasn't tipped over. It's a balancing act.

YEah , I wonder why the outriggers weren't out. It looked like there was plenty of room. I guess they had to stop pouring the concrete that day. I'd like to know what job this was on too and where. its just one of those things you dont do. The pump operator is responsible for setting up his machine properly. But what if the hydraulics were broken for the outriggers? Cant take chances like that. It will bite you.

@vladtepesking Or a kick in the ass. Stupidity knows no bounds.

[vladtepesking]

Great job. A really brave man who takes the risk to work without outriggers. There should be more such brave men risking their lives to save space and time. He should receive a medal for this.
