Done a few tandem lifts,very risky having both cranes slew together. One crane always ends up doing more work and being potentiality overload my weight or lossing stability.
Hello ritchie bros. Well we have a brand new crane for sale.. Yes we are DOWN sizing. Few hours on the hour meter Needs some paint work.. Yes it was running 🍺🍺😃
I know it was horrible to see, but if you are just standing there with a camera, don't flinch and get your fingers in the way. You never know how important your footage of the accident will be.
Rigging contractor 40+ years--here's my take on it. What occurred: A1. Far side on left end failed first, causing the bar to upend. A2. Near side on left reacted, sliding & cutting sling at outrigger beam. Mistakes made: B1. Basketing the sloping part of outrigger beams makes slings slide easily. B2. Did not monitor level lifting with cranes (B1 issue). B3. Shackles with basket slings are too small to properly contain them. B4. Sling size, condition, and proper protective pads???.
The sling failed I wonder if they checked to see if the sling had any knots or tears or if the grabbed the wrong sling and it wasn't rated for the pick
Look at the video image by image. At 2:51 you can see a rope forming a double loop at the left-hand corner of the hoist. The rope breaks at the bottom, and the two broken ends rapidly shoot up. Astonishingly. the load does not drop at once; probably the rope at the other side still holds. When that side breaks by overload, the left end of the load starts to drop. The camera has recorded that perfectly; no further evidence on the cause is needed. The crane drivers made no errors. The rope was either of a type too weak for the task, or a correctly chosen rope with an unnoticed defect.
Even after watching this three times: 1) I don’t understand what is being lifted 2) It APPEARS as though there are still lines attached to the underside of the lifting bed (if that’s what it’s called)
Exactly and you know what they need more rigged support is like to much weight and no enough rigging mmm stupid people... I am a ironworker and always I used more rigging then needed cuz that’s safety always be prepared
it appears the load could have been disassembled to offer lighter, more easily manageable, less awkward pieces where u fly only the base frame/wheels portion into place first, then the cab in a seperate load second before bolting/wiring it all back up....i'm not familiar with or fond of the dual-crane pick so i'd have rigged it up on a single hook(cab sits in the way of where a hook/shackle would be positioned if arranging a single hook setup with 45 degree angles on the corner chokers for the maximum stability/support/weight distribution).... they did a setup where each corner is rigged right beneath the attachments and this arrangement offers no support for the area of the load between the corners and they should have used steel chokers rather than nylon slings and inserted padding/softeners (such as dense rubber matting to eliminate metal-on-metal stress/friction on the load) between chokers and sharp frame edges and, depending on weight and space provided, maybe a couple big ol' turnbuckles to basket the load and reinforce/connect the chokers.... lastly, same side would tie boelin knot tag lines held on to by none other than competent union tradesmen...perimeters surrounded with red danger tape isolating the entire work area to keep dumbfucks like this cameraguy away from these critical lift scenarios
You'd tie tag lines to a tandem pick would ya? What would they be good for? You sound like someone who's read lots of books on rigging. Safety officer I'm guessing?
Im surprised that people were permitted so close to the lift; no one needs to be nearby you couldn't pay me enough to be near this lift , in the danger zone.it falls, all it takes is a little piece of steel or concrete to be hurled out, go righr through a human body like a bullet
My father experienced a huge accident in that way. 100% overload on a 100 meter hoist 😱💥 Unbelievable no one hurt, court case took more than two years 🤷♂️
you are right. a brand new harbour mobile crane(the same like those who lifted the new(smaller one)those crane are really expensive! i work at this company(liebherr in 2008)
We are taught to ensure the hoist braking works properly. Also, environmental variables, such as wind can pick up during a lift. Must ensure the load is stabilized before proceeding.
Hey Pete, stop me before it gets expensive... Shit Bill I put two extra balloons up there. Snap crackle pop. BOOM.... Crap that got expensive... Damn you Pete
I have worked w/ a mobile 50T &75T crane as a swamper, sometimes we were ordered to use questionable looking used straps- " they should be good for the rest of the season"- I'm glad to have gotten out of the biz without being involved in any incident s
REMINDERS: before lifting anything you must have a computation for the sizes of cables, slings, shackles, Radius, Boom length, and Boom angles etc.. maybe the operators of this crane are not Certified as a crane operator,
They had to raise the load high enough to clear the ships deck.It takes time to lift especialy a load of this weight. Ive been on large ships and watched them load private yachts onto them and ive never seen them do 2 moving actions at once. The cranes might not have enough hydraulic power to lift and swing the load at once. Looks to me a strap gaveway.
Exacto , no son las adecuadas para levantar 120 toneladas , alguien no hizo su trabajo en esta operaciôn.Dice uno de los trabajdores , ^^se cayô una grûa , se soltô^^, no es la grûa que se cayô , las eslingas reventaron .
notice how most hand held vids miss the action right when needed? Glad to get what we get I guess. Prolly more on the guy's mind than, "wonder if it's in frame"? 2:50, rear choker, left end lets go.....sad hardware failure...and for a "crane" company to trash their own crane to boot..
![SCARIEST 2011 JAPAN TSUNAMI FOOTAGE COMPILATION (PART 5/5]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/qolId9Fy3WE/mqdefault.jpg)
I almost got seasick watching this. Cameraman must've been recovering from a hard night drinking and still had the shakes.
yes hes all shook up like elvis was
Looks like they needed a few more balloons to help lift it
satelng
That's their dime store wind sock
Lmao
Priceless
cameraman, you had one job. ONE JOB!
yea he fucked up too ,,we waited to see the lift and then he flinched,, someone pinched his arse as the rigging broke ,
Change your shorts..
He must be one of the riggers.
@@johnnoonan5802 very possible,
But we did get good pictures of his ass.
use a tripod next time mate; that way you might actually capture what you were trying to film.
So Bill, that crane you ordered....good news! I talked my manager into giving you 20% off.
Jus fuck off already n say i dont know

+ApollonianKing I can't tell if this is sarcastic or not...
Somewhat.
Yeah, stupid camera man!! Some people just have no consideration!!
Which is why cameras should be tripod mounted so as to give accurate record of the evolution and as in this case any accident
2:49
Quite clearly, it is the balloons on the right side, pulling up the LHM320.
:-)
SCNR
Thanks.
Couldn't tell it the lifting straps failed or if it was something else.
And nice freak out camera-man. What, did you film Cloverfield before this?
I know what happened. They didn't have enough balloons on the left side to take enough weight off the rigging.
The language you heave spoken reveals volumes about why this happened.....
Rigging contractor 40+ years--here's my take on it.
What occurred:
A1. Far side on left end failed first, causing the bar to upend.
A2. Near side on left reacted, sliding & cutting sling at outrigger beam.
Mistakes made:
B1. Basketing the sloping part of outrigger beams makes slings slide easily.
B2. Did not monitor level lifting with cranes (B1 issue).
B3. Shackles with basket slings are too small to properly contain them.
B4. Sling size, condition, and proper protective pads???.
Liebherr customer service how may we help you today?
the sharp edges on the legs broke one of the sliding chokers
nylon on steel.. just dumb.. no amount of softeners would have helped with that weight.. bet it has lift points for steel shackles.
@@69dildozer: Yep... looked like the straps were old, too.

Camera operator FAIL.
newmedic 😂😂😂
Very good filming. Try a tripod next time?
No corner protectors did it cut the lifting straps?
Even after watching this three times:
1) I don’t understand what is being lifted
2) It APPEARS as though there are still lines attached to the underside of the lifting bed (if that’s what it’s called)
Its the 320 ton version of the two 400s lifting it. The mast is already on the ship lying down
Go to 2:50 otherwise wait and wait for it.
What happened to image stabilisation? If viewers get dizzy watching the build-up, skip to 2:50
Here`s an idea, leave the load suspended in the air for 5 minutes more than needed... specially with an uneven balloon load!
Exactly and you know what they need more rigged support is like to much weight and no enough rigging mmm stupid people... I am a ironworker and always I used more rigging then needed cuz that’s safety always be prepared
the crane operator did well, only the material used for it was too weak
knowing the correct rigging fo the hoist is a huge part of his job.. So NO he did NOT do well
Best PR move I've seen lately.
it appears the load could have been disassembled to offer lighter, more easily manageable, less awkward pieces where u fly only the base frame/wheels portion into place first, then the cab in a seperate load second before bolting/wiring it all back up....i'm not familiar with or fond of the dual-crane pick so i'd have rigged it up on a single hook(cab sits in the way of where a hook/shackle would be positioned if arranging a single hook setup with 45 degree angles on the corner chokers for the maximum stability/support/weight distribution).... they did a setup where each corner is rigged right beneath the attachments and this arrangement offers no support for the area of the load between the corners and they should have used steel chokers rather than nylon slings and inserted padding/softeners (such as dense rubber matting to eliminate metal-on-metal stress/friction on the load) between chokers and sharp frame edges and, depending on weight and space provided, maybe a couple big ol' turnbuckles to basket the load and reinforce/connect the chokers.... lastly, same side would tie boelin knot tag lines held on to by none other than competent union tradesmen...perimeters surrounded with red danger tape isolating the entire work area to keep dumbfucks like this cameraguy away from these critical lift scenarios

Fue fatiga de electrodos de proa,caso contrario,ambas grúas no estaban en sintonia, comprende?
What was the hissing after it fell??
Hi Manuel, would it be possible to get in touch with you via email to discuss a permission to use this video in a production? Greetings!
how many people hit the fast forward button?
Whats the falling object?
Well Bubba.... This thing is fucked! Lets go get a beer.
They probably had the beer BEFORE they got there. Never trust anyone who can't speak "The Queens English", period.
Where’s this?
I don’t think the cameraman was the only one who shit, in there pants...!!!
"When they asked for the weight of the lift, we didn't want them turn down the job, so we lightened the estimate a bit."
Landrew0 hey you've been around cranes before that's awesome?!!!! being a crane operator you come across some wild stuff
My father experienced a huge accident in that way. 100% overload on a 100 meter hoist 😱💥 Unbelievable no one hurt, court case took more than two years 🤷♂️
If you look closely, the machinery is moving. For safety reasons, this is how "fast" a heavy weight crane operation is.
whats the balloons for?
Did the balloons make it
you are right. a brand new harbour mobile crane(the same like those who lifted the new(smaller one)those crane are really expensive! i work at this company(liebherr in 2008)
I wonder how quick the guy at the bottom left of frame at 2:50 did the 100 meter sprint in.
We are taught to ensure the hoist braking works properly. Also, environmental variables, such as wind can pick up during a lift. Must ensure the load is stabilized before proceeding.
Does GEICO cover that?
And that's how you do it. Nice and smooth.
How many died?
Looks like one of the slings let go not the crane cable. The two lifting beams are still in the air after accident...
too harsh of an angle on the legs cut the sling
Statics professor had us watch this in class lol, I can see why!
Looks like the straps used to connect the wires to the load in the front left gave way. A chain is only as strong as something something eh?
You can see the sling/strap on the left attached to the spreader has a twist in it. Only one but that might have been the difference.
did it land on the cameraman
I hope they had the extended car warranty on that thing 😂
u think a tripod would be enough?
This is why it pays to over rig and get taglines long enough to get FAR from your pick.
Why not use the lifting points provided by the manufacturer
Dal video non si è capito sé a ceduto una catena o corda o se è caduta la gru
Notice how the side without the balloons fails first.
And they float it for what reason . The straps weren’t permitted for the load.
Hey Pete, stop me before it gets expensive... Shit Bill I put two extra balloons up there. Snap crackle pop. BOOM.... Crap that got expensive... Damn you Pete
@predatortheme lol, were you the camera man?
Everything was brand new except for the straps which looked old and worn.
No such thing as too many straps.
I have worked w/ a mobile 50T &75T crane as a swamper, sometimes we were ordered to use questionable looking used straps- " they should be good for the rest of the season"- I'm glad to have gotten out of the biz without being involved in any incident s
Where are the Huletts when you need them?
You think they'll notice that damage if we ship it 'as is'? Put some more balloons on it and maybe they won't notice.
I wonder how much that cost..
Boy Sure is good we has a cameraman with a rock steady focus!
Сколько этих падений из-за мягких стропов. Поднимаете тяжелое и ответственное - какие могут быть мягкие стропа.
Yeah the camera man was probably "on the job"... I'd like to see how many people stand still when that thing comes falling towards them... XD
That will buff right out....well put that's a good one :)
filming courtesy of Shakes McGee......
now where is that Glue truck?
Should a used the CHAINS old slings on a heavy lift No F@#king Way Hozay
No standards for chain inspection ?
"Quick, something cool just happened, video record the ground."
I wonder how much that costed...
The balloons are the star of the show.
Menudo susto que te llevaste amigo!!!
thats belt must be 25 ton also to get more upper confident when lifting thats crane .. and its better more safe and strong to do work ..
Según mis cálculos, la grúa de proa,era de menor capacidad,por lo tanto,había una solución a la vista,la cual no debo describir.
I knew the camera guy was going to miss it. I could tell from the beginning.
all that technology but nobody has a tripod for the camera 😐
YOU ALSO HEAR THE THE FIRST INDICation of the straps coming apart 2;42 lower to the ground
REMINDERS: before lifting anything you must have a computation for the sizes of cables, slings, shackles, Radius, Boom length, and Boom angles etc.. maybe the operators of this crane are not Certified as a crane operator,

you have hard hats on , there is no danger ..
problemas de eslingas? de seguro que si
Efrain Ccama Si Porque Yo Ví Que Se Reventaron Las Del Lado Izquierdo Y Aparte Se Veían Que Ya Estaban Viejas
Exacto , no son las adecuadas para levantar 120 toneladas , alguien no hizo su trabajo en esta operaciôn.Dice uno de los trabajdores , ^^se cayô una grûa , se soltô^^, no es la grûa que se cayô , las eslingas reventaron .
y are people on it as it is being lifted??
As soon as I saw this, I knew that the balloons were gonna be a potential factor.. Some of the new Helium out there is a real Mo-Fo.!!
Negative, sir. Balloons were located on both sides of the load.
Quality and Quantity unknown, however.
Why you shake the camera all the time
Eso De Poner Eslingas De Menos Capacidad De Tonelaje Y Desgastadas Fue Una Mexicanadas Demasiado Puñetas
no se usan pencas para ese tipo de cargas pesada, solo cadenas
it should of landed on top of the camera man as he can't fucking film or focus
Yeah, have a guy get killed because he flinched when a crane load snapped. Glad I don’t work with you you fucking punk. Log out.
Just at the critical moment !
notice how most hand held vids miss the action right when needed? Glad to get what we get I guess. Prolly more on the guy's mind than, "wonder if it's in frame"?
2:50, rear choker, left end lets go.....sad hardware failure...and for a "crane" company to trash their own crane to boot..
2:51 it falls and what happens? - miss it as the camera operator loses composure.
I think he fell from the impact vibration; that load was heavy.
It's not the strap that broke, it's the other stuff connecting the straps
My God! Does anyone know if all the balloons are OK ;(
A busca por penalizar culpado é maior que as das causas e futuras prevenções 😢
I wonder was it same crane that dropped that diesel train at the port?
Why did the filmer turned the cam away? The most funny part is now missing on this film...
Nice camera work!
Friggen goof.
