I didn't grow up on a farm, but I've seen careless crane operators. This is my calling.

@backhoeguy410 safety first...everyone on a construction site is dictated to wear hardhats.

@d9andy992 ive run cranes most all my life but its all been crawlers and all terrain cranes. never run a tower crane so i just got to thinkin ive never seen it done...

[d9andy992]

@mikeat88 the dogman conects u to a fuel tank that u lift off the back of a truck,then u lift it all the way up an a bit higher than the tower cranes fuel tank an usually gravity will fill the crane tanks,u have to pull the boom all the way back so the fuel tank is above the crane,then fill her up

I'm an Automotive designer & i'm interested in designing an ejector seat for the tower crane operators out there...similar technology used for the air force jets...Just to give the operators a bit of a lifeline in case dissastor strikes and you need to check out real quick....lemme know how you feel lads.

[mikeat88]
