It's always interesting to hear about different perspectives and experiences in the workplace. Using a crane to see over things can definitely come in handy, especially in situations where visibility is limited. However, it's important to have trust and clear communication with your banksman to ensure safety. I agree that there should be some kind of interlock in place to prevent accidents when the cab is raised. Safety should always be a top priority in any job, and it's reassuring to know that people are aware of potential hazards and taking steps to mitigate them.
