do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
why was he stood off so far, on the other side of the road? ..
presumably to get his O/S leg fully extended onto the road surface, not pavement
no sign of it though so presumably a leg collapse?
looking at the dangling slings I assume it was a hot tub delivery??
or is that the remnants of a 20ft twist lock in the front garden :ROFLMAO:

On @kabin man clip it looks like its short rigged into the road side fully out the other, I wonder whether they where meant to be delivering it to the n/s, and for some reason come around to the o/s :unsure:

Wondering if he was trying to do a full circle to avoid trees or wires etc?

It says in the other video they picked the box out of the playing field on the n/s, I wonder they come further to the o/s than anticipated to clear the crown of the tree, the short rigging and a gust of wind :unsure:

Having looked at that crane alot in the past few hours I've concluded he's been lifting out of the playing field behind the trees.

Outriggers fully deployed on the path side, short rigged on the road side because he's not lifting there.

Has had to lift high to avoid the trees and look at the wind force on the container!

Coming down I'm guessing the side force as he lowers the job has exceeded the strength of the slew and ultimately then tipped the COG of the truck to tip.

Very very lucky accident caused by not knowing when to say no.

At a guess outriggers would of just lead to a more serious failure of he crane boom or prolonged the inevitable.

Yes that makes sense and trying to decipher the utter bilge of reporting it seems a common thread was that he was lifting the 20ft box from the playing field.
Been very gusty up here last day.

Interesting gaggle of recovery gear 😮
And can't see much in way of TM....reckon it's a Saturday job ...plod may well be having words.

Edit...ferk!!!

Fair play to this mother instincts,and I’m getting a ring doorbell 😂 It's a sobering reminder of the dire consequences of inadequate training in the crane… | 32 comments on LinkedIn

That was so very nearly an absolute disaster!! Must of been another way other than lifting it right up like that! A reposition maybe?
