The guy who welded that pull tab on that boom. Is the hero of that job....... My hat's off to you, sir.

Makes me laugh when I think about how many times I've had to tell the customer that my crane was not a tow truck, I pick things up, I put them down, LOL

I'm a tower crane operator and I say that at least twice a week. " my crane is not a tow truck".

Great video guys. I drive an 11 yard 6 axle mixer every day and have poured in to hundreds of pumps. I have seen these things fully extended straight out to the side pumping concrete and not have any issues. However I have also seen these pump trucks have an outrigger fail or the ground give way while pumping. This is all operator issues as they must continuously check their outriggers.

Love watching these videos, coming from a part owner of 4 of these type of boom pump trucks and a fleet of mixers in Alaska.

Awesome job Big thanks to all that helped. Thanks for sharing

As bad as it was not near as bad as could have been. Missed the house, no damage to the truck, appears very little damage to the boom, no one hurt. Appears the discharge chute on the mixer truck was tore up some, probably some lost concrete in the mixer. Hopefully, they were able to keep it wet so they didn't lose a barrel. Expensive but very little damage.

I know the guy on the hose. It scared the shit out of him lol.

I'm surprised that the boom was able to fold up after the tip-over. I would have guessed that there would have been enough damage that something would be bent enough to prevent that from happening. I'm sure the recovery bill would be gigantic with your bill along with that of two cranes.

There are no such thing as 'accidents'. Oh. and crane professionals don't "show-off", everything they do is by the chart, such as boom length, angle, radius. Good video.

Hope the mixer truck was empty. Otherwise that drum is toast!

i bet that operator will never fail to deploy his outriggers again

Great video

That the fellas is a mess, and surprised it folded up

It looked like they did not have the right rear outrigger deployed, or at least not all the way deployed. Those piles of plywood looked like they were in the way if it would have been out. As usual operator error.

I seen this happen on construction jobs where they got a guy, rent a crane then turn it over. I worked for a company one time they sent a employee to bring a off road fork lift, back to home office. It was in another state about 150 miles away. He went in a company pickup & thought he would drive it home. It got away from him on the mountain, he jumped off, but forklift went off mountain. I had sub- contracted 2 jobs & worked one winter doing trim inside. I saw plenty of dumb stuff working for them, they were cheap.

So, I'm supposing it took one guy to tip it over and 20 to upright it.

The crane picking the boom up is all they need to upright the truck.

charles johnston yeah that’s all we were going to do with our rotator but the contractors building these houses were very persistent and insisted that it be done this way.

WOW ! Thats one BFC

THAT...Is one very, VERY expensive oops...But, on the flip side, at least the also expensive pump truck is recoverable with minimal damage, and the entire site and all their production isn't trashed. It could have been far more expensive. Major Mulligan definitely put in an appearance, either way.

Those trucks are expensive, I’ve seen them new starting around $250,000 dollars.

Man the next day after zeroing a calendar that had almost a year with the new year being the only technical 0 is hell on a union contract crew both from a contract and industry standpoibt. My first week as an electrician saw a sub crew supply electric to the wrong house destroying 3 dried in spec houses and two pending inspection houses local union took a hit and the crew as contractors lost bids for several years later because of it. Safety 3rd means safety is the first three rules and in construction wether houses or high-rises it's what matters the most.

Lesson number 1 if you have four outriggers put them all out.

Did it drive away on its own power? Or did it need to be towed?

With how much then cranes lifted in weight in unknown. I can tell you the bigger crane is a Liebherr LTM1220-5.2 (275 us ton crane) and the smaller a 47 ton approximate 75 ton.

Expensive opps

Was it not possible to just remotely boom down the pump?

@Suedeman

4 жыл бұрын

The boom most likely isn't strong enough to lift the weight without bending and breaking. Another possibility is the cylinders for the boom aren't strong enough for anything over just moving the boom as anything stronger is a waste of money if you never need the power

Whenever I've seen these long reach concrete pump trucks in use, they have been next to some tall multistory building, and pumping concrete straight up. Probably not designed for reaching sideways like it was.

@dandunning4409

Very much designed to go from side to side. I drive a concrete mixer for a living and see a pump just about every day. These are very stable vehicles and can reach a very long distance. The problem comes when the ground gives way or the out riggers are not put down correctly most always operator error. But yes they are designed to go fully extended out either side and I have seen it hundreds of times.
