Crane Takes A Dive

Only in Russia would a 35 ton crane be used to lower 50 ton dozer. Only $100,000 in damage and one unemployed crane operator. A 35-Ton Crane can lift around 22,000lbs at a radius of 30' feet, that's only 11 ton.

I'm really surprised that the crane was able to initially lift the dozer without winching it self over. Amazing what 5' can do.

Whoops, I suspect that voids the warranty on both the crane and the dozer!!

Wasn't the object to get the dozer to the bottom of the hole? Was that not accomplished?

I don't see the problem here.

Looks like most are just a suction-cup deal that you snap a smart phone into. Turns out people use them because it's so easy to buy yourself a cop or a judge in Russia.

I found "Serbianfailblog", they have some good ones up.

There is also a lot of fraud. In this one, you see a guy trying it, walks up to a stopped car and sprawl across the hood.

In Russia the weight limit charts on equipment is just a suggestion and doesn't really mean anything......

At least that is what I read on teh internet somewhere.

We had a rule at the Mountain when I worked there: If you get the D-9 stuck, you are poop outa luck, cuz that's the top of the food chain.
