Luffing tower cranes must be boomed down to a specific radius given it's configuration to allow it to weather vane. If it is not then if pointed into the wind, the jib can literally be blown over backwards. This happens all to often and later I'll link a video of a crane here in Seattle swinging around rapidly. The claim is that it was working perfectly fine, but it was the shenanigans of nothing to see here, move along. I'll get into that in that story later.
Update: I have moved into equipment sales as the importer for Eichinger out of Germany. You can find the products at seattletowercrane.com . We have Concrete Buckets for sale that laydown and allow you to lift 5.2 yards of concrete after tailgating it without ramps because the loading height is 65 inches. Literally from loading to the truck leaving could be as quick as 10 minutes on foundation pours. Then as a contractor you can save the cost of a pump at $2500 or more for the day. So if your crane has the chart for 28,000 lbs of concrete, we can help you place it for a fraction of the cost of doing so with a pump.
