To crane or not to crane

But, but, but I didn't mean to insult you, please don't make this the end of me! I ain't quite ready to go yet!
Oh, you mean coming in contact with a power line.

 

Crane experience has the potential to pay off pretty well if you don't make any mistakes which are very easy to make.

 

I'll tell you the biggest mistake I've seen made with a crane is swinging to the side without the outriggers down. I've seen even experienced operators do this when they get too complacent and in too big of a hurry. Sometimes you get get away with it if you have your boom angle right, but most of the time the crane will turn over backwards. The only cranes I personally witnessed turn over was due to this, I've personally seen two of them and heard of many more.

 

I've cleaned up several that did that very thing.

 

Good times, huh...

 

I started a truck hire company and if it was not for the crane & rigging that we incorporated into our business we would not be here today.
Also I find truck hire boring with no real challenges and just mundane however with cranes there is always a new challenge and makes things exiting.
Take a look at some of our amazing jobs we have completed and if that does not inspire you then I dont know what will.
