Makes sense Kyle. I did commercial construction and it was rare we had a job site that was longer than 4 months. That one with the lattice crane was a hospital that took 2 years for the iron. Done in phases of course.
What Kyle said. There is no wide flat area for the winds to push heavily on. I was only around one once. The op referred to it as a cable crane( cables control the structure ). They're not as common anymore.
Gotta push it. Also need to learn when to say no. I've gotten away with what most would call stupid shit many times but it was all calculated and I knew it would would withcthe given variables. My boss forced us to back out of a crane pick like that once. The crane op and I were both confident...
Fairly wet here as well. I would hope that's enough cribbing. I get leery around foundations. When I did construction we caved a basement in while backfilling with a skid steer. Super tight site you have there Paul. Wish I had that crane with me today
Looks like you're working at a big radius there. That would bother me when out like that. I have very little crane experience though. Just seemed the operator was a bit more on edge when stretched out like that.
Good luck and congrats. Get some time in on the controls moving stuff around before putting someone at risk. I got to move forms for a day with a crane and the operator standing there guiding me through it. It's not to tricky but no one was ever close to the dangerous end of it and we were well...
