  • haha lol it says reliable crane and rigging on the side

  • cutting down trees with cranes are some of the most dangerous kinds of picks, because 1- it's difficult to determine the exact weight of the branch or trunk, 2- once it's cut free from the tree, you own it whether you can handle the weight or not, 3-tree companies try to do the job with as few cuts as possible and take pieces that are bigger than the crane can handle

see all

  • @benspreen ya they reliably screw up every time

  • Versteh ich nicht. Der Kranplatz war doch verdichtet... :)

  • not very "RELIABLE" HAHAHAHAHA

  • @jessfod Over the rear is the strongest chart...Even if it says 360 is just as strong. Sit your butt in the seat and tell me what feels better---> Over the rear with the entire crane used as a counterweight, which the operator did NOT have enough of apparently!

  • @insomniac2868 All true. I pick trees as arborists cut them down, but I am the one in the operators seat, and in control, so if I say top the tree, it's done, or we bring in our bigger crane and get the whole tree... Looks like this guy should have had more CW.... Hope no one was hurt!

  • Мы в УВНе всегда краны на попа ставим.

  • @insomniac2868 another thing, in my opinion they positioned the crane wrong, they were suppose to position it so that the boom should have been between the outriggers.

  • @insomniac2868

    nailed it

  • all we need is one more big crane to pick up that one

  • Notice all these accidents, where is the counterweight. Lazy Bastards wont put it on. Unless this guy knows how much a tree weighs.
