Crane Removal Seminars/Workshops

MB, are the cranes you use equipped with the anti-two block device at near where the ball connects to the winch line?

Some are, some aren't. It's a PITA for a crane cuz there's a wire running the length of the boom that can easily get hung up on limbs.

Just wondering- where I used to work with a sandblasting/ painting company, we had one that froze up due to the cold and flipped the jib to the high side of the boom when it two blocked.

Heck, that shoulda shut it down.

the crane video tricked me. not everyone who makes a video actually work with cranes. by the way crane operators have come to a job and then beensent home when their true rules come out. i ride the ball and if that is not good for you then tell me before you get to the job.

But ultimately, it's the crane company's call, not yours.

 

[cuttenwolf]

while that may be true i chose not to use a company that will not allow you to ride the hook

 

[MasterBlaster]

Same here.
