Re: Mobile Crane Lifting Heavy Water Tank Mishap
Was the crane too short or weak to complete the lift? Once the crane started revving its engine and the tank quit elevating, I wondered if the crane just wasn't enough tool for the job. ![]() |

The load may have just been to heavy it fell once it started to rotate shifting the weight and the crane base was positioned wrong. Just a guess Only in South America |

Re: Mobile Crane Lifting Heavy Water Tank Mishap
wayyyy to tight in on the crane. The crane was under height, under capacity and i hope whoever signed this crane contract and operated it is in jail. At any jobsite in this country (USA) the crane operator has the ultimate final say if a lift will happen of not. Thats why crane operators get the big money, they have the responsibility

Re: Mobile Crane Lifting Heavy Water Tank Mishap
That my friend is a combination of a few things. But gravity and swaying back and forth of the water tower was no match for that crane. Once it got enough momentum it would have took a crane twice that size down. The water itself is dangerous inside.
