pickinfred Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 Well.... back to the drawing board. Whats ya sayin Randy??
Trader Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 A large crane like that tipped from just the pool weight? What? Was it full?
SteveW Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 they had it full of water so they could swim right away LOL
Brake Pad Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 many years ago, I saw a fire truck extend its ladder out with a guy on the end. just his weight, flipped the ladder truck over, and all the support legs were down. the proper leverage will move mountains
BuddyRich Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 Won't take a lot of weight when it gets that much leverage.
WyoStar Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 I used to rig for cranes like that one and bigger. You would be surprised at what will tip one over with that much stick out. That was only about a 70 or 90 ton crane.
SilvrT Posted November 29, 2011 Author Posted November 29, 2011 I got a river to swim in..... Just make sure you jump in UP STREAM

Michael_Bishop Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 I had a fiberglass pool put in back in 1994. But I did not have a fence up yet and there was a street behind the back yard. Did not have that problem. But I did have to get a variance from the city to put it in. Because with the street there my back yard was consider a front yard.
WyoStar Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 Yeah, but not fully extended!! Exactly. Their max lift capacity is the main boom in an almost a vertical position, 10ft from center.
Yammer Dan Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 When I worked in the Virgin Islands I had a 80 foot boom truck. There is always a good breeze blowing there. One day I was on top of Crown Mountain the highest spot on the Island. Thought I would take a look and shot that boom straight up in the air. That breeze becomes a wind up there!! Still don't know how the view was up there. As soon as it hit the top it started over. I hit the down button and dropped as quick as I could. Lot of rocking and slid truck sideways about three feet with outriggers down. That was probally pretty close. that was the last time I tried that!!
WyoStar Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Made you have to change your shorts I bet. I have seen them up on 2 outriggers when trying to get that last little bit of reach, several times.

WyoStar Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Wow...I'd be PISSED....... Whats the point??? Things happen. Now your getting a new garage. Atleast no one got hurt.
Yammer Dan Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Wow...I'd be PISSED....... ????? Just plain scared ****less!!
