    Thats just your typical Yahoo mistake....

    Wrong Angle and Extenstion for the Load..There should have been Bells and Whistles going off in the cab though and Hydrolics should have quit working...If all the proper Safty Equipment was working....

    That is real. I have seen that happen before but not on a house just on a construction site. The bells on whistles go off and they are loud. More than likely nobody was around the crane and a big gust (microburst)of wind came by tipped it over.

    I doubt that.....When you leave for the night you can leave your Boom in the air with no load....If you have a load on you can't leave your Seat....And you cant work a load with more than 15 MPH winds.....so on Windy days or Chances of Gusts of Winds....We dont work with the Cranes...Might be different in the Private industry though...

    Again,,,Operator Error

    In the state of Md , you cannot leave your boom extended when the crane is not in use. And the operator cannot leave a load unattended. Big fines by O S H A !! The wind restraints are not that rigid though. We work our cranes in winds up to 30 -35 depending on which crane it is. We own about a dozen lattice boom tower cranes and several hydraulic " squirt booms". GREG


    SAY IT WITH ME " OPERATOR ERROR"!!

    Looks like the right time for a grease-around on the undercarriage
