    Yes, that was interesting Cinders. Do these cranes not have a built in load sensor to warn the operator when he tries to lift too much for a given angle, extension and ballasting etc.? Or does the use of blocks(?) on the cable rule that out?

    Just the sight of those massively heavy and long booms relative to the footprint of the crane sets off my "spidey senses".

    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.
