Should have had pigstyed (packing to spread load) sleepers under the outriggers to disperse the load, DLI and Insurance will have a ball with this one, Regards Frank.
There goes our insurance premiums (for everything - they spread it round!)

Ok, I know nothing about operating a crane, what would have happened if the were able to retract the boom enough to swing it around, and extend it the oposite direction to counter balance the crane?
But then again if the crane was going down I would have been out of it and running to safety.

Discounts for AULRO members, just shoot me a PM before you purchase.
It wasn't me!
Otherwise I would have caught annother rig on my way down.
on topic of funny thing happened to the crane there was on Youtube sometime ago security footage of crane going over a wharf and then another crane following it into the drink when trying to lift the first crane out. Wonder what they told their boss about losing 2 cranes in one day.
