Hilarious Crane Accident?
- Thread starter HOGGY952
- Start date
staged....
1. why would they be filming lifting a pallet of stuff onto a roof?
2. why would they have a quick release on the hook?
3. if it's not a quick release, why did the camera person take great care not to get the hook in shot until it was a good way in the air and hard to see?

agree with coljack, that is staged, even allowing for different safety standards in the US.in the UK not unusual to see people on a roof w/o fall arrest gear but would not see a banksman worth his salt lifting a load like that w/o a cargo/safety net
Snoop.com
of coarse its staged. Doh.

Why are you directing people to a site that has the potential to hit their PCs with serious viruses?
This is a real one. Not so hilarious. Spent 37 years with cranes. Although I say it myself. I have a good knowlege of them.

what the flying is funny about a crane accident
Not sure where this happened. Looks to be one of the southern hemisphere countries where health and safety is not a prime concern.
As to the cause, its difficult to guess. But a reasonable assumption would be, that, the crane at that radius from rotation, at that boom length was capable of lifting a 7 tonne coach. However it is possible that the operatives have failed to take into account the added weight of the water inside the coach

Why did the driver not drop the boom or the winch when he felt her going? The load was down low enough surely.
What would you have done Snugib?
Have you ever dropped the boom and winch together with a heavy load attached to see how fast it will drop?
Gotta be pretty quick.
Guess the guy probably sh@t himself and abandoned ship.
Also safety lifting limiters turned off or not fitted????
He should have known the lifting capability anyways without any safety devices fitted.
My guess is inexperienced driver as is so often the case when these types off acidents happen.

In my experience I have found that outside of Europe, North America and a few Aisian countries, a properly calibrated. fully functioning and anually tested safe load indicator (SLI) Is rare thing indeed.
In this instance It is difficult to appreciate all of the contributing factors. The crane (cant tell make model or capacity) looks capable of lifting, at a guess a 7 to10 tonne coach at a very short radius from centre of rotation. However it looks like the boom is fully telescoped to maximum length and at a high angle. cosequently when the crane started to tip, the long boom falling forward rapidly increased the tipping moments. thus making the situation worse. It is easy to say as an onlooker, but in that situation, when the driver felt the crane start to lean forward he should have hit the telescope in lever, which would have dropped the load and reduced the radius (tipping moments) at the same time.
