As they settle, they self segregate according to the strongest law on earth, gravity. Over time, more...

Right, if you were negative rigging, it sounded like you needed more height 😅 Different charts for different cranes, that specific crane you could get considerably more height at 100’, but your capacity decreases by ~40%. Most cranes have a deduct for the jib being stowed .

The exhaust on my Golf is coming apart. It sounds like I'm in a fog horn when it upshifts.

A dumb question- If the jibs are not really an advantage and most decent operators never use them, why do they continue to carry them around on the side of the boom for years and years? Doesn't the extra weight affect their lifting limit, even down on the lower part of the boom? Why not just...

What kind of wood?

The class wasn’t that hard but I’ve had a lot of operating experience for other machines and I was the go to “rigger” for the crane op when I was in construction. @lumberjack chart is not favorable at 100’ but better than the 38/127. He has a jib but at that radius it’s no advantage. Jibs...

Just kanoodling here...but if it is something that dreadful to contemplate, maaaaybe it might be just plain dreadful and be worth avoiding altogether? Maybe?? :P;):D
