Yet I routinely see people lifting unsafely. I caught these two examples literally on the first job I walked by in Washington State, then again on the next block. This is where the state as a requirement for ASME rated attachments but the Crane Department in Washington can't seem to figure out what that means. ASME can include straps in their designs or use. This doesn't exclude the requirement for the support to be rated. yet...</p><p><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj3GsInrcUisW_0BkMKVP253wridvccqY5dS1VTDaZw-lPtgZndHEJDR_bpaSe3FsWCbAJxlaV1xEuIC4aGOD0tachvCJ4PqeRsHlnrHezpoOGVNG4w7itoT9u7EW9M7lC3vB0KHZgmz66izJra2AMheOlnLBcFmsQnFpQhDe27ZC3No5aB2oBOR9upmeCn" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="6336" data-original-width="9504" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj3GsInrcUisW_0BkMKVP253wridvccqY5dS1VTDaZw-lPtgZndHEJDR_bpaSe3FsWCbAJxlaV1xEuIC4aGOD0tachvCJ4PqeRsHlnrHezpoOGVNG4w7itoT9u7EW9M7lC3vB0KHZgmz66izJra2AMheOlnLBcFmsQnFpQhDe27ZC3No5aB2oBOR9upmeCn" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgYPn1S_k1cCHwXkSTbktJE8R3o8FP7Bx3A5MLF3MAOwOUsJUBUiOuZPBGxorAZF4tX8D-KrjL20R68b-D-kRy2QfccxYbUYb8ZsLQJUPTATEHx4zD4Vdc7BdvFAYgKPqM-c-aTLuIn1WKSfIhJn272Qel1fPcAOf-k2VwUTapRPOe16GS3gJCN7tvV4piG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="6336" data-original-width="9504" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgYPn1S_k1cCHwXkSTbktJE8R3o8FP7Bx3A5MLF3MAOwOUsJUBUiOuZPBGxorAZF4tX8D-KrjL20R68b-D-kRy2QfccxYbUYb8ZsLQJUPTATEHx4zD4Vdc7BdvFAYgKPqM-c-aTLuIn1WKSfIhJn272Qel1fPcAOf-k2VwUTapRPOe16GS3gJCN7tvV4piG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">There are solutions to these issues available. We have <a href="https://seattletowercrane.com/store-2/p/self-leveling-flying-forks-rated-at-6600-lbs">conventional forks</a> as an option. Crane rated. Self-leveling or you can manually set the level. I know the manuals aren't popular, but you get the full rating of the forks. If you have self leveling ones you honestly lose the first 25% of the rating.

Land it over a pallet and charge the tine. Lift a couple of feet up and you can close in the gates below. Then everything is wrapped up in structure and it's level on a four point lift. You do need a little more room for these to get the tines in and out.

You can do this by forklift, Pallet jack if you have the ramped version, crane fork, or another means I'm probably not thinking of. Close the gates or the ramp and away you go.

The double pallet bins with the ramp are my suggestion. $3144 plus shipping. Affordable. 6600 lbs. Fly two pallets at once. The crane crew can drop and let them handle it with a pallet jack. Grab on another cycle and send it down. It saves a lift cycle with the forks. Everything is prepped without the crane, or can be. Everything is wrapped up in the cage and ASME B30.20 certified and maintained as level by the four point lifting system. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We don't really have an excuse to not be lifting safety when it comes to pallets.

And yet guys will come back with, "It's fine to lift a wood box." Anyone ever seen a tag on a wood box signed off by an engineer?<br /><blockquote><blockquote><blockquote><blockquote><blockquote><blockquote><blockquote><blockquote style="text-align: left;"><blockquote style="text-align: left;"></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span>Let me illustrate this and see if you can end at my understanding. </div><div class="field field--name-field-standard-paragraph-body-p" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 20px 15px; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgdZ2QRaHjJvVzUuXWfqkwvmOvdPfjFbztxfVdgDHI9L_prHRxCEHYirHwpsvAmKA-X-9AbPjViDNVeAxg2v5bN94b8c4OLXA71SeBvYfMO-yFQK0LQutu-YJMHYHrkj9AP5Vl_2jymp0oRuWzx10BvQURPWw1pCaB7RuGGdwua5tE9_DpUXzRLyAluHtSv" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="1536" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgdZ2QRaHjJvVzUuXWfqkwvmOvdPfjFbztxfVdgDHI9L_prHRxCEHYirHwpsvAmKA-X-9AbPjViDNVeAxg2v5bN94b8c4OLXA71SeBvYfMO-yFQK0LQutu-YJMHYHrkj9AP5Vl_2jymp0oRuWzx10BvQURPWw1pCaB7RuGGdwua5tE9_DpUXzRLyAluHtSv" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">You lifting this wooden concrete bucket?

Ok. How about this one? How many feet long is OK? How much weight? Where do we put the weight? Is it just the straps that govern the load? So four inch wide double straps good for 50,000 lbs in a basket is "fine"? You making the lift below? How much you good with?

Here it is with Mechanical contractors all over the country. They think they are doing good stuff by buying the $300 plastic bins that aren't crane rated. Why are they doing it? Because crane people aren't consistent and safety people aren't doing their jobs. OSHA. I've written a letter to the Washington Crane Department and they are focused on ensuring people know the yardage instead of the liters like people could pick a yard out of a materials line up. IE, they are wasting everyone's time with non-sense instead of enforcing their own rule which in Washington says ASME B30.20 explicitly. Yet they still allow plastic and wood bins to be lifted when ASME forbids this and requires steel. Hear that again. ASME B30.20 requires steel as the material used and welded construction. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjrNDP5VLw90OXrmNpAhqXrQDPpHEJ4YDWFQp9S2U6-na8Odg3H2ifiOhlkNrbLiwSYpUy2EyfY4NVnwtF4SACPjrBnqmRYwNI27ooXEaxK3Og3FcNqjwr9gpLmK2oo0mxJuyPBzbS-b2CThYqsvEQJBepMtDLrZlG3x9MuAu63nYRKpX5HPuPjwehm92eO" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="403" data-original-width="869" height="148" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjrNDP5VLw90OXrmNpAhqXrQDPpHEJ4YDWFQp9S2U6-na8Odg3H2ifiOhlkNrbLiwSYpUy2EyfY4NVnwtF4SACPjrBnqmRYwNI27ooXEaxK3Og3FcNqjwr9gpLmK2oo0mxJuyPBzbS-b2CThYqsvEQJBepMtDLrZlG3x9MuAu63nYRKpX5HPuPjwehm92eO" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Washington State Code</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjO_p4w6T2ivNLFNYCJVSul4e8CYq_Y7HV3mCrbl9CcheVRUembbJ8nyxeTQ93k3a1kZYTLHZo-9fCZQPDBzl9ZRhQLsKtYNhLiSxPDMWiTr55o7Dr5zh90PQ9N5YS-tlyBKn5wl5bSRpeMRBqPn4kShhUVoqxVkzY4C0v4yoQ7Bmep_lsiRcrwF2MFHh7T" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="139" data-original-width="363" height="123" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjO_p4w6T2ivNLFNYCJVSul4e8CYq_Y7HV3mCrbl9CcheVRUembbJ8nyxeTQ93k3a1kZYTLHZo-9fCZQPDBzl9ZRhQLsKtYNhLiSxPDMWiTr55o7Dr5zh90PQ9N5YS-tlyBKn5wl5bSRpeMRBqPn4kShhUVoqxVkzY4C0v4yoQ7Bmep_lsiRcrwF2MFHh7T" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is the ASME B30.20 BTH Document requiring steel as the materials used. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhM2H3pM_Q4c4cYwnBMevMhY1ah0Flqsc6hn8Z-z-fkzYdX4JA1nc-15Wh74yGRGbn-NELdm-WYq4FRMPjcdHV5nteGgei3xxqNa0fV8qIKMRo4MH8qkMrnembS3fWQvSvtvn9DJh8QBlV_1NWN4VqLGqBUmVNAirhW0Xt4qoJ1BswdJufkhvw0DXYOkdCV" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1877" data-original-width="1800" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhM2H3pM_Q4c4cYwnBMevMhY1ah0Flqsc6hn8Z-z-fkzYdX4JA1nc-15Wh74yGRGbn-NELdm-WYq4FRMPjcdHV5nteGgei3xxqNa0fV8qIKMRo4MH8qkMrnembS3fWQvSvtvn9DJh8QBlV_1NWN4VqLGqBUmVNAirhW0Xt4qoJ1BswdJufkhvw0DXYOkdCV" width="230" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Plastic Totes used by Mechanical Contractors all over the country.

You don't know what wood is good for. You don't know when the plastic will become brittle. The ASME's are clear in defining deflection standards yet people in the field would act as if this isn't an issue and isn't known. Safety people do the same. I'm telling you to grab the ASME. Grab the BTH document that lays out the designs. Then consider how explicitly clear and broad 1926.251 is in pulling everything under it's umbrella. Look at the pictures of real issues and consider the AI illustrations. We need to do better. Even a company like Knaack who has been building boxes for us in construction for decades has begun to offer crane lifting attachments. Do you think this was just because, or in response to a problem? You look at the comments on their pages and serious boxes are rated at 100 lbs until you put the crane lifting attachments on. I have no knowledge of an issue. But this sort of thing and change doesn't happen in a vacuum. And that's the problem of our industry. An incident happens and everyone involved is motivated to not say what happened. And we all keep going in ignorance. We need not wait for the motivation of someone being killed to improve. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Require a rating on what you are lifting and lift it as the manufacturer prescribes. If it doesn't have the tag or guidance, it's not rated for a lift. This is just the facts and the rules. This isn't my pushing change. This is the change from your grandfather's generation. Why are we still fighting against it instead of demanding safety? Whose side are you on if you want this to not be the standard? It's time for real and less polite conversation on this matter. Let's ensure everyone goes home today and not just stand back waiting for a public incident that no one of money and power can hide to be the motivation to do better in life. </div><br /><br /></div><br /><br /></div><br /><br /></div><br /><br /></div><br /></div><br /><br /></div><div class="field field--name-field-standard-paragraph-body-p" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 20px 15px; text-align: left;"><br /></div><br /><br /></div><div class="field field--name-field-standard-paragraph-body-p" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 20px 15px; text-align: left;"><br /></div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8049428407705154949.post-45489196532246673362023-12-26T22:05:00.000-08:002023-12-26T22:05:53.845-08:00Crane Loading Platforms - The Safety of a Constant Rating<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhOMwUKqxBYcy6mo4VQJNIlHtVN8WlEeysR4SKCiG6_0zQyudCtfnumyU0sEEjq05vGtEogAECH0U9TBC8Kp-oZRtyK4QFyg7mCjgP7_cjMjw_HwMGAcGKL8mHwnCu7pqziWv00EnwEW_5a9p7eqkuufYZcVald3_rTTXXuPvFdSa7VB4nISTnDboWJmRes" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1280" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhOMwUKqxBYcy6mo4VQJNIlHtVN8WlEeysR4SKCiG6_0zQyudCtfnumyU0sEEjq05vGtEogAECH0U9TBC8Kp-oZRtyK4QFyg7mCjgP7_cjMjw_HwMGAcGKL8mHwnCu7pqziWv00EnwEW_5a9p7eqkuufYZcVald3_rTTXXuPvFdSa7VB4nISTnDboWJmRes" width="320" /></a></div>What is an 11,000 lb rated deck? If you look at some of the other brands on the market, they'll claim an 11,000 lb rating. When you look into it, there are multiple length settings available. The 11,000 lbs setting is the furthest in setting. With our Eichinger Retractable Outrigger Decks, that rating is the center of the deck with it fully extended. We believe that we are safer when we have a constant rating. Our people in the field aren't there read drawings and have potential human error. With our decks we seek to eliminate the potential for errors and deliver more capacity at the same time. <p></p><p>If you go to our <a href="https://www.seattletowercrane.com/store-2/p/eichinger-retractable-outrigger-decks-outrigger-platform">website</a> you can see the variety of options we have. Modular construction for ease of transport on the 13'-7" wide decks. Welded decks so you can assemble it once and truck it as is at 10'-7" wide. Or we can go narrow if that's what's right for your job. </p><p>We'll powder coat in your colors is you desire. Fully enclosed sides help to ensure that nothing gets dropped below. The gentle ramp makes it easy to get items on and off the ramped area. And the action is so easy that even a single person can extend or retract the decs. </p><p>If you are burned out on the rentals and wish to own your own decks, we can help </p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8049428407705154949.post-8164155779928400382023-11-17T14:39:00.000-08:002023-11-17T14:39:15.049-08:00<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXmCoZZ1Di00WvJC3jSEsbMS53EZoVxK7Qk67u7RnFv_YdjCcgq3MBApNqw90GsiO-UUvkMiCIwK6i_eradTKVO5cK7PWYgjNiWXgVycC-a6V9g0z1kbf-dqO14M4wTCld6-VepBLGz2c4y6talMRomya8Fq1omx2oze89PYX0hR9VYggrXuq71v3maCWl/s526/wood%20box%20on%20crane.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="458" data-original-width="526" height="279" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXmCoZZ1Di00WvJC3jSEsbMS53EZoVxK7Qk67u7RnFv_YdjCcgq3MBApNqw90GsiO-UUvkMiCIwK6i_eradTKVO5cK7PWYgjNiWXgVycC-a6V9g0z1kbf-dqO14M4wTCld6-VepBLGz2c4y6talMRomya8Fq1omx2oze89PYX0hR9VYggrXuq71v3maCWl/s320/wood%20box%20on%20crane.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">The Challenge riggers face in the field is the delivery of unrated crane bins. Items show up on a truck and they rig it up with straps to get it off of the truck. If you don't fly overhead, most jobs wouldn't think much of it.

When you get to the location, if you wanted to dump out the items, the front is sloped to make this easy if you simply remove the two front connections and hoist up just on the back two lifting loops. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkc74YWxEuGgZGYdGeYum8zmu7jzjv1pT9JNM0078v2lhMjdymuqvXRdpkjvWp786S9Uo-5r8344F6kW-2C6p3htrfw36wi-XAZXUMqrFCCuTSqhhDnYCxc1hobf51YUL6x2583IT0BeVJZQXD1igQAz8ux2jIiRllN4pvG25si0l-dVvosU_-YGuZKfpp/s258/Universal%20bin%20on%20casters.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="256" data-original-width="258" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkc74YWxEuGgZGYdGeYum8zmu7jzjv1pT9JNM0078v2lhMjdymuqvXRdpkjvWp786S9Uo-5r8344F6kW-2C6p3htrfw36wi-XAZXUMqrFCCuTSqhhDnYCxc1hobf51YUL6x2583IT0BeVJZQXD1igQAz8ux2jIiRllN4pvG25si0l-dVvosU_-YGuZKfpp/s1600/Universal%20bin%20on%20casters.png" width="258" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4ZJ5vdecmxXmcQYEsluHQHp_8WNtO19TAtNF56PQFy9Mxa0PftAYsVKDVhoXz18ElpJCmlsNqwF0y6dxiMjqBN7Q7xuRFWh09Ev-vAfn10CCiT50ovkzZ5W1o1AjNn5LqNzeTXjUhETLNLA7shGNfCoWtW4KUhWWl8E48Oq62spSp8X6g6MsYkew0uy0f/s710/Universal%20Bin.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="472" data-original-width="710" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4ZJ5vdecmxXmcQYEsluHQHp_8WNtO19TAtNF56PQFy9Mxa0PftAYsVKDVhoXz18ElpJCmlsNqwF0y6dxiMjqBN7Q7xuRFWh09Ev-vAfn10CCiT50ovkzZ5W1o1AjNn5LqNzeTXjUhETLNLA7shGNfCoWtW4KUhWWl8E48Oq62spSp8X6g6MsYkew0uy0f/s320/Universal%20Bin.png" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://pike-carnation-7j9n.squarespace.com/config/pages/63ebb4229f91c81c51111679">Universal skips</a> are set up to work with both cranes and forklifts. The stack together for easy storage and shipping. They vary in size from 0.39 yards to 1.3 yards. At 1.3 yards, think of them as similar to a pallet sized bin. It's a good option to replace plastic tote bins that are set up by subcontractors on castors. These are simply rated and won't fail at an undetermined time because they aren't plastic. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">These are the size of a pallet at 47 by 41 inches. Most pallets won't fit in them, but essentially the same items will. Coming with castors optional, if you are looking for pallets or pallet totes to solve your needs in transporting gear, this is a solid offering to get in compliance.

Rated at 4400 lbs and up to 2.6 yards, these can be trash bins, move supplies, or materials. Put castors on them and push them around a floor. Then take them to the hoist where they can be brought down and dumped out with the forklift. Or if you need to scrap out a floor with a crane, little gets in the way of loading it. When you get to the dumpster you can drop the bottom either quickly if it's light (think of the shockloading) or set it in the dumpster, pull the rope and hoist up so it gently comes out.

We are expensive as labor. Eichinger and <a href="http://www.seattletowercrane.com">Seattle Tower Crane</a> can help mitigate these expenses simply by supplying four point lifting eyes on all of our bins.

regularity involves choking, or simply slinging boxes of items up. The rationale
used is commonly that the sling governs the rating on the lift. I would like to
challenge this line of thought. Not only do I think the practice is dangerous,
I think it’s flat illegal in the United States. OSHA addresses this matter
several times in the Letters of Interpretation regarding 1926.251. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="background: white; color: #212121; font-family: "Source Sans Pro",sans-serif; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;"><a href="https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/interlinking/standards/1926.251(a)(4)"><span style="color: #0071bc;">1926.251(a)(4)</span></a></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #212121; font-family: "Source Sans Pro",sans-serif; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">Special custom design grabs, hooks,

OSHA wants all lifting items rated and tested. Does anyone think the black box
is rated or tested? Is it marked for it’s capacity? In this case, if we presume
those are 2” straps rated for 6400 in a vertical and 5000 lbs in a choke, are
we safe to assume that we can put 10,000 lbs in that box and fly it? A ¾ ton
truck fully loaded in that box and we are good? And it still has the 3:1 safety
factor (ASME B30.20 requirement) so it shouldn’t fail until we put three of
them in the box? If the box fails, do the slings stand up to the shock loading?
You can see the deflection in the box as it is currently loaded. Are we at only
33% of the boxes ultimate capacity as it is rigged? You can stop me at any
point where you agree that the practice is flawed.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">If the load is contained in the box, then the box must be
rated. The concept is simple once you hear or see it. The lift is a chain of
items that must be rated and planned. The footing of the crane is commonly
1.65x the highest loading possible. Same for the crane structure. The hoist
line is 5x. The brakes on a crane hoist are commonly 125% of the rated line pull with 2 of them in
operation. The slings are a minimum of 4x. But then we want to put a box in the
chain that isn’t even rated? All of the effort to get here with safety, only to set it aside to save $100? I should note that many of these boxes are rated
at 1500 lbs when lifted by a forklift. This doesn’t even have support where the
tines would be. The reasoning is flawed. The box has to be rated. And this isn’t
just me making the argument. OSHA makes it too in the following Letter of

<b>Answer</b><br />
Yes. The OSHA requirements regarding proof-testing special custom design grabs,

<a name="q2"></a><b><i>Question (2):</i></b><i> Other than for slings, it
appears that there are no inspection criteria for below-the-hook lifting
devices in the OSHA regulations. Would I be in compliance with OSHA
requirements if I followed ASME B30.20 for inspections of below-the-hook

<br />
<b>Answer</b><br />
Yes. Section 1926.251 does not address inspection criteria for below-the-hook

industry recognizes the necessity for inspections of below-the-hook lifting
devices. An employer who follows ASME B.30.20, specifically sections 20-1.3.1
through 20-1.3.7 and 20-1.3.9 with respect to inspections for below-the-hook
lifting devices (other than for slings), would be considered to be in
compliance with OSHA requirements.<br />

that your equipment is safe and sound. I can appreciate the ease and
affordability of plastic lifting boxes. But they aren’t safe. They aren’t rated
for a crane lift. The common fork load capacity is rated at 1500 lbs. If that
were an engineered number, then the tote would be good for 500 lbs, or less as
a crane lifting item. I would say less because nothing is supporting under the
middle of the tote. And when will that plastic become brittle? Will it be
during a lift like this one where it’s asked to bend? Let’s not meet the loved
ones of a co worker after choosing to insert weak links into our lifting plans.
Out with the plastic. Demand ASME designed and rated products at the minimum. </span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: "Source Sans Pro",sans-serif; font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">Stop flying these items and hoping they hold together
while you choke them with slings.

Let's dive in. </span></p><span color="rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9)" face="-apple-system, system-ui, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", "Fira Sans", Ubuntu, Oxygen, "Oxygen Sans", Cantarell, "Droid Sans", "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Lucida Grande", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;">The range of the forks are 3300 to 6600 lb ratings. Most Forks take 30 to 50% of the load in order to balance properly. And those are the published numbers you'll hear from Eichinger. But I've seen them work at 26% with room for adjustment on the manual versions. The automatic versions do just as well at finding the balance. The smooth action of the tubes that have no internal welds leads to smooth action and a system that works on balance alone where the internal rollers are getting stuck on spatter like you'll find on plenty of other brands. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPltTQeruB715_62gcwUzNP8LOEYY3SsSU3VJGYXzEitMGm0cxqL17bCyf0Eo5cRRcoKlbEMu00n7_dVPm_JHVaf71nT-iU0xkVxjQSvhViF1T6wDibFkghvCewlC5LJ7xjZbxODcpiOPlhx1AA7VtPW5e5F3LUncsbHAi9PFJfKS0B1BcaUlcbmI60qfR/s4898/DSC06068.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4898" data-original-width="3265" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPltTQeruB715_62gcwUzNP8LOEYY3SsSU3VJGYXzEitMGm0cxqL17bCyf0Eo5cRRcoKlbEMu00n7_dVPm_JHVaf71nT-iU0xkVxjQSvhViF1T6wDibFkghvCewlC5LJ7xjZbxODcpiOPlhx1AA7VtPW5e5F3LUncsbHAi9PFJfKS0B1BcaUlcbmI60qfR/s320/DSC06068.jpg" width="213" /></a></div></span><span color="rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9)" face="-apple-system, system-ui, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", "Fira Sans", Ubuntu, Oxygen, "Oxygen Sans", Cantarell, "Droid Sans", "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Lucida Grande", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The forks are either milled on three sides like you see here so they'll dive into pallets easily, or they are made from fork tine extensions that give an incredibly narrow profile making the charging of the tines a joy. Moreover, they have handles. If you've ever worked with forks with out the handles, you know quite well what that can feel like as you charge the forks only to have your fingers be the softner for the mast on the materials you are lifting. Handles keep the finger safe from impacts. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCF4trPjKDLPcVI4fRhNfpFmk_8VjE3HUWvpvrJYgEH_aVUW7gaBazFlxvADzPdx-3JxGE0OgAjIxmG08weyRE4Dk2slJuwXXvZzmwAyW0E77ywtMy2uA1JKTnQoPQZrQ03w4InUT02D5ixo-bY5MKYqQdRCfsGBG00XIhEsbz39JG0V6P7luqFtBkwgkY/s9504/Flying%20Forks%206600%20extended%20and%20desaturated.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="9504" data-original-width="6336" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCF4trPjKDLPcVI4fRhNfpFmk_8VjE3HUWvpvrJYgEH_aVUW7gaBazFlxvADzPdx-3JxGE0OgAjIxmG08weyRE4Dk2slJuwXXvZzmwAyW0E77ywtMy2uA1JKTnQoPQZrQ03w4InUT02D5ixo-bY5MKYqQdRCfsGBG00XIhEsbz39JG0V6P7luqFtBkwgkY/s320/Flying%20Forks%206600%20extended%20and%20desaturated.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The smooth internal tubes also so well to enable smooth action when telescoping for mast up or down. Reaching an ultimate height of 5'-9" at the heel, you can grab those tall pallets of bricks without much worry with these forks. Even better on the mast is a place to store a chain to retain pallets to the mast. It jumps over and intuitively has a catch where you can drop the chain in and feel assured that everything will make it to the intended location. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj32QyJZ44D5OivbNWrMKbZXYnP1pNRrYt0bRvUxkGA2ckIs6vBxHb4FyYFob1pE1i0pegyyS6BJUUmWbtH5rqtQYbrJ5Jvx9_KPWT9ORk4VQsTF9StgK1EjKDCAxagZo7312bpcwqcbFO6KD9TE4mxvZ6n9guxLBDUNW0eF0RZXAZaMkwKwhtdTGz5onmz/s4080/PXL_20230412_081517758.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4080" data-original-width="3072" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj32QyJZ44D5OivbNWrMKbZXYnP1pNRrYt0bRvUxkGA2ckIs6vBxHb4FyYFob1pE1i0pegyyS6BJUUmWbtH5rqtQYbrJ5Jvx9_KPWT9ORk4VQsTF9StgK1EjKDCAxagZo7312bpcwqcbFO6KD9TE4mxvZ6n9guxLBDUNW0eF0RZXAZaMkwKwhtdTGz5onmz/s320/PXL_20230412_081517758.jpg" width="241" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The tines adjust in and out quite well. turn the eye bolt and suddenly the adjustments are ready for just a little pressure.

This is with a 3:1 safety factor for most manufacturers. This leads to durability. I've seen two of these bins damaged in my career. One due to grabbing it with a thumb on an excavator, and one due to being runover by a forklift. A bit hard to fault the bin. Clamshells are commonly damaged to about 20% of it's value on every job. I could line up the photos, but being sued isn't attractive. <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RepaA61tx0M" width="516" youtube-src-id="RepaA61tx0M"></iframe></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>The usability factor is amplified by <a href="https://www.seattletowercrane.com/store-2/p/1045-am-self-dumping-bin-fully-automated-lock" target="_blank">Eichinger's 1045 FA bins</a>. They have a rotating latch that allows the crane operator to rotate the latch which makes dumping or flying optional without the aide of a rigger. What I see is a bin that doesn't require anyone to get into a dumpster filled with fall hazards, sharps and pinches. The boat skips I have been selling until today found that riggers were still getting in the dumpster to deal with a safety latch.

In this case, to impose a danger. But this problem is now solved with the automatic rotating latch. You can't remove the attachment to the crane without laying the arm down, so there is no longer a hazard of a falling bale arm. Since there is no latch, there is no reason for the riggers to expose themselves to the danger. Viola, the safety crane trash bin on the market is born. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0cXHt1vDp_kERXcMbIO7SGwC0SqX8Ge4XyBifnn_r_PwI8jBdNENd88W9z-npRQZYotDW3JpUhbNNOMWb0xx98LUo4_Kq3ksAIHfkqSKOKsq7AzPwjSk0IYIky3gwS1In_PbarFsc3rjEhi0w-Gr5_WMJxQouSrL4CnxCa2Zko5G013vVeu4De1mabXyt/s800/1045%20in%20the%20wild.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="533" data-original-width="800" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0cXHt1vDp_kERXcMbIO7SGwC0SqX8Ge4XyBifnn_r_PwI8jBdNENd88W9z-npRQZYotDW3JpUhbNNOMWb0xx98LUo4_Kq3ksAIHfkqSKOKsq7AzPwjSk0IYIky3gwS1In_PbarFsc3rjEhi0w-Gr5_WMJxQouSrL4CnxCa2Zko5G013vVeu4De1mabXyt/s320/1045%20in%20the%20wild.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p>We can go to massive scales with these as well. <a href="https://www.seattletowercrane.com/store-2/p/1045-am-self-dumping-bin-fully-automated-lock" target="_blank">10.4 yards</a>.

What are you putting in there to hit that 125% capacity? How about a concrete bucket. It is designed to take the volume needed and capacities are just above that (not including a significant safety factor). So a two yard bucket with a 8400 lb rating needs to be tested to 10,500 lbs. But you can't fit that much concrete into it, and that's by design. If you go to lead shot, you would be at 28% of the cone filled. So now you have added pressure on the gate that is concentrated. The cone has little to no resistance pushing out or down above the materials. And we are to overload test this to 125%? If it goes wrong, who is responsible here?

It's not that it's impossible or 125% is too much. It's that it's complicated and should be well thought out. This is one of these points where we should be stopping the safety march. Do not adopt ASME B30.20 as a fully required code. Be specific that you don't require load tests when you are in stakeholder meetings. You really don't want this as a field practice.

There is no replacing pumps. They are fantastic. But do they serve you best on every pour? They often clog the air space so you end up with a tower crane idle, and an operator sitting without being able to accomplish much while you spend $3000 on the pump and operator. We could be talking about spending $4000 to do work you could quickly accomplish with a large concrete bucket. Several times in my career as an operator I have poured trucks at a rate of 10 yards in 20 minutes. One job was with a 3 yard bucket in foundation pours. The other was on a 14 story when we lost a pump and the deck pour trucks were backing up. The crew was spot on and not what we should conventionally expect. The crane was also a Liebherr 316 with a hoist that is commonly 2x the speed of just about anything else. </li></ol><div><span style="color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, Segoe UI, Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, Noto Sans, sans-serif, Helvetica Neue, Arial, Apple Color Emoji, Segoe UI Emoji, Segoe UI Symbol, Noto Color Emoji;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigrCsFTAzkrNLiLU6YPKG9BUXpjNm6Ly5JDrkSFNDv5eUpWHiqBwm04hM21SCObGn-yuQ3V5hIp-SROgoDmpXRye_PEqEVImP_U_CXsFWYwPcHuK5JD97Kgl4R8qJFZhPS2HO70JvKdijS6WOfJuSWIy_RPHNS_JtjJqj4pz1rNG7vwJwtNZdB7Uby_jz3/s800/1034%20in%20the%20field.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigrCsFTAzkrNLiLU6YPKG9BUXpjNm6Ly5JDrkSFNDv5eUpWHiqBwm04hM21SCObGn-yuQ3V5hIp-SROgoDmpXRye_PEqEVImP_U_CXsFWYwPcHuK5JD97Kgl4R8qJFZhPS2HO70JvKdijS6WOfJuSWIy_RPHNS_JtjJqj4pz1rNG7vwJwtNZdB7Uby_jz3/s320/1034%20in%20the%20field.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Low loading heights at 2.6 Yards</div><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, Segoe UI, Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, Noto Sans, sans-serif, Helvetica Neue, Arial, Apple Color Emoji, Segoe UI Emoji, Segoe UI Symbol, Noto Color Emoji;"><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">In a common scenario, the challenge is that 3 yard and four yard round buckets are just too tall. you need a laydown concrete bucket so the loading height isn't tall. Our 5 yard concrete buckets are 5'-5" as a loading height. This means you can tailgate the concrete at a speedy rate at the slump you want and load that bucket in about a minute. If you are pouring in a foundation or deck with a crane, you could pour it in a couple of minutes too. Suddenly you have 15 minute cycles to empty the truck. By the time the driver cleans out and the next truck is set, you've beaten the trucks, no pump involved. </span></span></div><div><span style="color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, Segoe UI, Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, Noto Sans, sans-serif, Helvetica Neue, Arial, Apple Color Emoji, Segoe UI Emoji, Segoe UI Symbol, Noto Color Emoji;"><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, Segoe UI, Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, Noto Sans, sans-serif, Helvetica Neue, Arial, Apple Color Emoji, Segoe UI Emoji, Segoe UI Symbol, Noto Color Emoji;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxeGUGa4m01Fd3SE9RTDvX7ouGdV0spIyiYxHpWu3yN-F-MmzJXs1vyr3Cf3FAgcE9CzIx0eo1JVa-oJyNglX2MEeCsQWjmcpjUey4Oe4LNAjwinvlrlr-vku9wlbGZGEyD69yv0TBiWKwovxYPzIi8kiKz-1Ae0g2RNRyIjKUcpsa3MhSa0HULtHtY7aD/s800/1034%20in%20action.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="532" data-original-width="800" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxeGUGa4m01Fd3SE9RTDvX7ouGdV0spIyiYxHpWu3yN-F-MmzJXs1vyr3Cf3FAgcE9CzIx0eo1JVa-oJyNglX2MEeCsQWjmcpjUey4Oe4LNAjwinvlrlr-vku9wlbGZGEyD69yv0TBiWKwovxYPzIi8kiKz-1Ae0g2RNRyIjKUcpsa3MhSa0HULtHtY7aD/s320/1034%20in%20action.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Four yards with a hose.

But the results of the spend can save you $3000 per day. Four to six utilizations pay for the bucket and you'll have an asset for the next 15 to 20 years.

An American company makes an option that does sell, but I never liked it. It was violent for the crane. My time in equipment sales makes me believe it was never implemented as the manufacturer intended. Today I sell an option that does serve well for forklifts, or for cranes. It's a conventional tipping bin for a forklift, but we add crane lifting eyes to them. So if you wanted that trash bin up on a working deck, you can use it as a low loading option, or a tall and narrow option that can be pushed down hallways, or landed on small baloneys. Then it can be lowered to the ground and dumped by a forklift when it's convenient and you keep the crane moving. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKe2GqAClCQv1q55lYwsimv8h-5MrllYDUiKoXMBCjystp8FbYnqn7mf8ZSzZsSflN97ciCGeZf2qyPInnR4sospcpI1ZJtJlytyqdl1GMDrAkcUpiPI36kJRU9oHyATjNrvVQVj-XHK473gV9zZ7uhF7WIcRu4ljPe4b3rZBCdmI1S23qFEe_BAgLBsfe/s600/2013C-Web1-600x600.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKe2GqAClCQv1q55lYwsimv8h-5MrllYDUiKoXMBCjystp8FbYnqn7mf8ZSzZsSflN97ciCGeZf2qyPInnR4sospcpI1ZJtJlytyqdl1GMDrAkcUpiPI36kJRU9oHyATjNrvVQVj-XHK473gV9zZ7uhF7WIcRu4ljPe4b3rZBCdmI1S23qFEe_BAgLBsfe/s320/2013C-Web1-600x600.png" width="320" /></a></div>Our <a href="https://pike-carnation-7j9n.squarespace.com/config/pages/63ea77bf51dbe416a7bd7b14/categories/63ea77bf51dbe416a7bd7b18" target="_blank">Model 2013c</a> tipping bins can be built up to 2.9 yards in size. They can also be built down at .039 yards so they can fit anywhere. Put castors on them and just push them to where they are needed. Most are rated at 3300 lbs for the crane operations. Crane rated items are more expensive because they need a 3:1 safety factor as required by ASME B30.20. So our bins might cost $1900 where you can find them of a similar size for $1400. But the added structure is not only good for the lifting operations, the bins are stronger so they'll inherently last longer. We can do this with a number of our bins. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6h6dFJ0sSaWvxLpdJ7aIYY4nGCJcQKiv6tS5Y2OUbMNAGJOrF_2NFn3nHt-MLr-0_9whXyfwkNSVZO-7CdXy-YJzgJJUhSMAq6vaoVU-kE34tKjP4punBDbNbo7zzl4dtUNsrik_hTM0_rn0ZoRa78-fvaiesYuJEcQOCdeRgnptCUG-phx4TCN9eD9aT/s920/2013C%20wide%20for%20website%20720%20px.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="545" data-original-width="920" height="190" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6h6dFJ0sSaWvxLpdJ7aIYY4nGCJcQKiv6tS5Y2OUbMNAGJOrF_2NFn3nHt-MLr-0_9whXyfwkNSVZO-7CdXy-YJzgJJUhSMAq6vaoVU-kE34tKjP4punBDbNbo7zzl4dtUNsrik_hTM0_rn0ZoRa78-fvaiesYuJEcQOCdeRgnptCUG-phx4TCN9eD9aT/s320/2013C%20wide%20for%20website%20720%20px.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The <a href="https://eichinger-industrie.de/en/products/tipping-skips/" target="_blank">2012/2044</a> versions are low and can be built to two yards in size.

The jumping of gear from lower floors to the working decks as you remove the shoring off of outriggers is very time consuming. We are strapping bins, stacking them. Then unstrapping so we can move them to the lower item, then flying. It wastes a few minutes on each cycle. If you have 50 lifts per cycle that waste a few minutes every week, we are talking about potentially a couple of hours. Usually this leads over time. So for easy numbers, if we have two riggers, an operator and a tower crane, the costs are probably over a thousand an hour. Multiply that by 2 and if you have 40 weeks, it's an $80,000 problem. Oh... each job. And we haven't accounted for the unstacking either on the working deck.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><span style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfLYZdt4gjcYz1xb_S90U74phQZTuXgav7iiLO23Djq_ZgUncHQu-39bDZBOh2hSWJwBOi76w2Gr9EqTWOWWMzA6GHfB46wL3_vvXdCadWxGGuDa6C7JJgZzQeOH5n7KNQoPG62Z9x9SkLwGETcvRUwdxp2qtrhIbVe0E5JYiOE8dS6kbp2iuoOZp-nVKL/s720/Bulk%20bins%20stacked%20720%20px.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="720" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfLYZdt4gjcYz1xb_S90U74phQZTuXgav7iiLO23Djq_ZgUncHQu-39bDZBOh2hSWJwBOi76w2Gr9EqTWOWWMzA6GHfB46wL3_vvXdCadWxGGuDa6C7JJgZzQeOH5n7KNQoPG62Z9x9SkLwGETcvRUwdxp2qtrhIbVe0E5JYiOE8dS6kbp2iuoOZp-nVKL/s320/Bulk%20bins%20stacked%20720%20px.jpg" width="320" /></a></div></span></div><p></p><p><br /></p><p>Eichinger makes a solution for this. <a href="https://www.seattletowercrane.com/store-2/p/bulk-bins-stackable-for-cranes-and-forklifts-up-to-6600-lbs" target="_blank">Bulk Bins</a>.

The four post rack is supporting the load in the third picture. So it must be rated. It must be used as the manufacturer prescribes. And it must be maintained. I bring this up because we use heavily damaged gear in the field all of the time. You have to think of this like a manufacturer would.

The Germans have done this for us. ( I would lift these as a double stack for COG stability.

They can also have castors added so you can roll them singularly, or as a stack. We have a large variety of sizes from 0.6 yards to 5.3. And the capacities range from 3300 lbs to 13,230 lbs. As an added bonus, they work as debris bins too in that you can dump them out from the lower lifting eyes in the back. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHmRKfW0qnwsNHoGF8BGwSn4sflX-lDBF0keZdHy4KSzFDEhnXIxdeg6FS1HsxZrIuGKl-wMwiN17wg2b0blMLjvWymi5jSecdyLN9kyWPvU_oOIkD3jNjTDqZfV8ruc6naFMeVgXogSSYJHd7OICoLBB2J2WHzbmTpmvysCXWfxBxdtHhYvZn0b1EjTUR/s9504/Bulk%20bin%20stacking%20feet%20for%20email.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="6336" data-original-width="9504" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHmRKfW0qnwsNHoGF8BGwSn4sflX-lDBF0keZdHy4KSzFDEhnXIxdeg6FS1HsxZrIuGKl-wMwiN17wg2b0blMLjvWymi5jSecdyLN9kyWPvU_oOIkD3jNjTDqZfV8ruc6naFMeVgXogSSYJHd7OICoLBB2J2WHzbmTpmvysCXWfxBxdtHhYvZn0b1EjTUR/s320/Bulk%20bin%20stacking%20feet%20for%20email.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Look at the size of that lifting eye for a 3300 lb item.

And you can't really reach into the top one so it's a wasted effort to do it. If it made sense as a move, you might want to consider something like shackling the top bin slings to the eyes so it can't rotate out. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv_4w4gi0wIAHxsHH5HbNxRpq9mJ6KlfqGy2TWW62ku4CiddrUq7S2bdI1BqWBuI2olluvOoLf0LTgZ39AGAawcS2OA2bbU0Ti2Y7T0ndpC-SH9FT6RJnhP1DFO_f8NHpzFj6Y-xjjVrxdtV58jI_9XJTTEfh4Gaq1OLdtwMvH64KWqsCAzVOMuCHAV4ny/s9504/Bulk%20bins%20lifting%20eyes%20for%20email.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="6336" data-original-width="9504" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv_4w4gi0wIAHxsHH5HbNxRpq9mJ6KlfqGy2TWW62ku4CiddrUq7S2bdI1BqWBuI2olluvOoLf0LTgZ39AGAawcS2OA2bbU0Ti2Y7T0ndpC-SH9FT6RJnhP1DFO_f8NHpzFj6Y-xjjVrxdtV58jI_9XJTTEfh4Gaq1OLdtwMvH64KWqsCAzVOMuCHAV4ny/s320/Bulk%20bins%20lifting%20eyes%20for%20email.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Just look at that lifting frame as a stack.

They are the buckets most chosen because of costs. Bending a round bucket requires less welding then the square buckets on the market by 50%. Concrete bucket manufacturers sell these with a chute as an add on option. How many concrete buckets are actually sold with just a gate system? It's virtually zero. So a manufacturer will push the bucket out of the door and then add a chute on top of their price. It's often a $1200 for this item that just takes a few bends in the brake and a weld at the ends to secure it all as one unit. This is like being sold a car without tires. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsbCdOvKaU_pXxnVDegemWvGp_yN_Obap9r8zIz5myzw1UVKPTUAJOusEvz0Ri-lpjXFnKfb6pVPcvHVIHV5uSYjBg8sLNf-rsoseyNpLhRm4PEP3tAU1olkZc7IOhGN0c5pMZERHlyHdaEEqXBcHG0NQwjNa_4aWWwUnad-VusdpirGoFQx-bbFuEraWb/s770/5013%20Concrete%20Bucket-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="715" data-original-width="770" height="297" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsbCdOvKaU_pXxnVDegemWvGp_yN_Obap9r8zIz5myzw1UVKPTUAJOusEvz0Ri-lpjXFnKfb6pVPcvHVIHV5uSYjBg8sLNf-rsoseyNpLhRm4PEP3tAU1olkZc7IOhGN0c5pMZERHlyHdaEEqXBcHG0NQwjNa_4aWWwUnad-VusdpirGoFQx-bbFuEraWb/s320/5013%20Concrete%20Bucket-2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>The concrete buckets at <a href="http://www.seattletowercrane.com" rel="nofollow">Seattle Tower Crane</a> are sold with chutes. the <a href="https://www.seattletowercrane.com/store-2/p/concrete-bucket-rated-at-2-yards-with-chute-model-5013" rel="nofollow">5013</a> and <a href="https://www.seattletowercrane.com/store-2/p/concrete-bucket-2-yards-model-1091s-with-swiveling-chute-option" rel="nofollow">1091</a> models have the chutes included with each sale. These are the round buckets used in North America. The 5013 is the common design you'll find from American manufacturers.

The 1091 is a low loading design that eliminates the need for ramps, but you do need to fold up the chute which will slow you down.

<br />
Rzeszow, Poland. A tower crane with the classic Potain Arrow on the counter jib suffered a structural failure between jib section #1 and 2, possibly exclusively on jib section #2. The cause of the failure is not noted. Fortunately no one was injured in the accident. I find it incredibly important to note that the operator was "sober" as noted in the <a href="http://www.rmf24.pl/fakty/polska/news-wypadek-dzwigu-w-rzeszowie-operator-byl-trzezwy,nId,433306">article</a>. (I find this amusing as if drunkenness would be normal or a likely cause of a crane accident as if he were driving on snow. Not that it's likely as a cause, but I suppose a lapse in judgement has been known to occur during alcohol consumption.) <br />
<br />
This is an interesting accident. The pendent is fully connected still. Jib section #1 is still aloft. Yet when you look at the end of it, you can see that the chord splices have ripped, presumably at their welds or just adjacent to them. Chord construction is commonly large angle iron pieces welded together for form a square member. At the ends, the splice connections, be they male or female, are welded on. If the welds at this point were not looked at since they are not obviously noted as welds in a cursory glance, a strong load sitting on this splice could easily cause a fracture of the lower chord splice welds which would then rip the top chord, as it has done, and the trolley would be missing from these pictures as nothing would be present to hold it up to be visible. Additionally, note the cables (ropes) appear to be broken near the weld failures indicating trolley placement. <br />
<br />
Certainly wind could have played a role, as well as side loading. Side loading is less likely to be a cause this far in on the boom as leverage is severely reduced and the slewing motors would have a difficult time causing this damage at a 10 meter radius. Wind is also commonly caused with the trolley farther out. See this <a href="http://towercraneaccidents.blogspot.com/2008/06/june-20th-2008.html">South African</a> accident as an example. <br />
<br />
I feel confident that this was simply a structural failure. We have an older model of crane and I would ask, who is looking at this crane? When they inspected the boom, did they look at those welds, especially underneath the chords? Normally these jibs are flat on the ground and a mirror would be necessary to do this. Inspect your welds regularly. I have my jib walked monthly at a minimum. We spend an hour going through the jib, trolley and ropes. Obviously I look that the easily reachable items daily. You too should take the time to look over each weld. You'll find nothing 99 times, but that 100th time you may save your own life.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8049428407705154949.post-27311879865716195302012-02-17T20:37:00.000-08:002012-02-17T20:37:17.629-08:00February 16th, 2012<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkgjM_AAszPZjT2EGavtI7cwNkSKpQRDmDsrYrKoRz4X5MvrDqJqkA5oAqGCEjPd-EVoLWcxc93LCvqMcLnL8AFae2thjFIEZ05Wz9OqOqV_ShWTvayw7fl1CgeWiuKGbgP9xqRzrhbGu_/s1600/WTC+drop+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkgjM_AAszPZjT2EGavtI7cwNkSKpQRDmDsrYrKoRz4X5MvrDqJqkA5oAqGCEjPd-EVoLWcxc93LCvqMcLnL8AFae2thjFIEZ05Wz9OqOqV_ShWTvayw7fl1CgeWiuKGbgP9xqRzrhbGu_/s400/WTC+drop+2.jpg" /></a></div><br />

<br />
New York City, NY Imagine a empty dump truck falling from the sky at near terminal velocity. It virtually happened. One of the Favelle Favco tower cranes at the World Trade Center suffered a load line failure while hoisting 3 girders weighing up to 40,000 lbs around 40 stories. The load came crashing back down on to the truck it had been hoisted from. No one was reported as injured.<br />
<br />
For me, this is a mind blowing accident. Favco's can hoist 40,000 lbs on a single line pull, depending on the model. Not only that, but at a rate of 190 meters per minute. I'm on a pretty short crane right now because we are on a two crane site, but I'm feeling pretty certain that even with a empty hook, it doesn't move at 190 meters per minute, let alone with it's maximum load. The point being, it's a horse. Both a Clydesdale and a Quarter horse in one. So what could the cause be? <br />
<br />
<a href="http://">NYDailyNews.com</a> is reporting that the crane had a rope rubbing a bolt in October of 2011. Simple rubbing is not a cause for replacement. Flattening of individual wires to 2/3 their original diameter is cause for counting the wire as broken. Crown breaks would be another cause to count them as broken and then the rejection criteria according to manufacturer of the crane and the rope would begin to be sorted out. So did the company replacing the cable not deal with the rub problem root cause? Maybe, but not likely. The crane would have been inspected since then, and likely beyond the daily operator inspection. Not that this rules out error. <br />
<br />
Another cause that occurs to me is the potential for the wrong rope to be installed. Tower crane load lines are to generally designed at a 5:1 ratio. So if you have a 40,000lb capacity on a single line pull, you need a 200,000 capacity rope. What strikes me is the potential for a incorrect rope installation. While this would be stunning, would it be more stunning than not properly addressing a bolt rub? Think about it, if you have a non-rotating rope, you have a swivel at the attachment point. If you have a rotating rope, you have a fixed attachment point. You can also have right hand or left hand lays depending on the drum rotation and attachment side that can affect the design and installation. Were one of these detail missed in the October rope replacement? I was talking with a friend about it this morning and he wondered about a rope defect. After some consideration, I thought, If you have a 37x7 rope, you have 259 individual wires. What are the odds that you would have multiple failures within one rope? While it can't be ruled out, it doesn't seem likely. I have to lean toward the wrong rope being installed. You can't have left a potential known rub point as a problem... right? <br />
<br />
The lesson for us is daily inspection. Don't show up early and take a morning nap in the cab. Go through the crane. Look at the rope on the drum. It's not complete, but it's better than putting your feet up and setting the alarm. Make sure that we are going through our ropes against the horizon regularly and monthly have the bell man wrap it with a towel as we hoist up or down as appropriate. I've seen 9 month old ropes birdcaging off the drum with the hook at the lowest point. If I hadn't simply walked back to the drum, who knows what would have happened. Look at all of the rope. Make it a habit. Think of the ride this operator must have went through losing 40k and the fear that he might have just had a death under his hook Take that thought with you. It's what should be motivating you daily because you never know unless you inspect.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8049428407705154949.post-25381500958476245712012-01-28T08:05:00.000-08:002012-01-28T08:05:52.402-08:00January 27th, 2012<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGnXiwI2qmxGHzRGDB1Cv0j_aDehfL40AfnanLwlIFBiVf_wzrJ8N2HzVhHuzlTNDUTB0Qi2-1jynQPzX-APXAEEJwCA4w_RfpZWWw4Y7NATUJD7O3BnNZDsKtLZETRswnBWZPnwyE9pxd/s1600/NSW+Liebherr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="266" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGnXiwI2qmxGHzRGDB1Cv0j_aDehfL40AfnanLwlIFBiVf_wzrJ8N2HzVhHuzlTNDUTB0Qi2-1jynQPzX-APXAEEJwCA4w_RfpZWWw4Y7NATUJD7O3BnNZDsKtLZETRswnBWZPnwyE9pxd/s400/NSW+Liebherr.jpg" /></a></div><br />

College Green, NSW A man named Fen Joyce fell from a 45 tower crane jib at 12:30 AM after having been at a party. His friends are mourning the loss and note that he was a fun person to be around. You can read more in a newspaper article in the <a href="http://manly-daily.whereilive.com.au/news/story/crane-fall-tragedy/">Manly Daily</a><br />
<br />
It's not that uncommon for people to climb cranes at night. I've seen pictures show up on photo sites that are of people sneaking around. People have been passed out in cabs only to be found by the operator in the morning. Talk about a hang over. I've had the hook of my crane tangled in trees after fraternity pledge week near the University of Washington. I've even heard stories of people climbing cranes to steal power cables for their value in copper wire. One of those stories also involves two heel marks being drug out to a car due to apparent electrocution. One of my favorite stories involves a local operator whom decided to retire to his cab after going out with the iron workers on site to enjoy some brews. He awoke with lasers on his chest from police shooters and the cell phone ringing with the job superintendent on the other end asking him for any information about how to get into the cab. <br />
<br />
We should take measures to keep people from hurting themselves. I'm back to running a crane after our long economic slow down. I'm working in a University District so I have the base walled off with razor wire at the top of the wall. Additionally there is a set of hatch doors on the tower that would force someone to crawl outside of the tower to continue up (top of second tower section). If they get to the top, the door to the cab is locked, but they could certainly access the jib. Short of positioning a MMA trained security guard on the tower, I'm not sure what else we could do to deter this behavior. In the crane being used on this job, a solution may have been simply locking the lower hatch door on the cab which would prevent a person from getting further than the turntable. <br />
<br />
People are sometimes just determined to do what they want to do. We can't protect everyone from themselves, but we could do our level best with some efforts as simple as a pad lock. <br />

Essex England. The boom of a luffing crane suffered a structural collapse and has been left hanging while crews assemble to disassemble the structure and make the site safe. At this time, high winds are expected so the nearby flats have been evacuated. Given the fact that the crane is not likely to weather vane properly, this seems like a prudent move. <br />
<br />
I have only found one picture on BBC's website. <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-essex-16326061">Link</a> The details are sparse at this point but it seems clear that the boom is being supported by the pendant. The cause of this accident could be varied. Structural failure due to weld failures. A pin backing out at a splice connection. Side Loading. Operating in high winds. It's a wide open until more details are released.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8049428407705154949.post-77756809095103901252011-02-21T21:25:00.000-08:002011-02-21T21:25:47.731-08:00February 20th, 2011<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvrMG6liQvNPetKjCvRwsVluHZ5vxICYG8JFwBacAAGXVnyDTVFn3j_DV2eqs4eLCkjS-DpZ7vgK6-uOtvq2qTbhdiCMZnVRnBj51fR3XlP7FdvLRLFXp5MKsOE_L2grYu4Sfoof1X8Xrv/s1600/Stuttgard+Mast.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="203" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvrMG6liQvNPetKjCvRwsVluHZ5vxICYG8JFwBacAAGXVnyDTVFn3j_DV2eqs4eLCkjS-DpZ7vgK6-uOtvq2qTbhdiCMZnVRnBj51fR3XlP7FdvLRLFXp5MKsOE_L2grYu4Sfoof1X8Xrv/s320/Stuttgard+Mast.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

Stuttgart, Germany A Tower Crane collapsed inside of a 40,000 seat stadium. The crane was a mere 14 meters high, and the cab of the crane was dislodged in a way that it seapartated from the wreckage which allowed the 31 year old operator to clear himself from the cab with broken ribs. He was immediately taken to the hospital.<br />

The crane appears to have broken away at the Cat Head to turntable connection. Sometimes these connections are made with through bolts. We have seen a number (<a href="http://towercraneaccidents.blogspot.com/2010/10/october-6th-2010.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;">1</span></a>, <a href="http://towercraneaccidents.blogspot.com/2010/07/may-29-2007.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;">2</span></a>)of Comedils come down due to poor bolting and bolts that have never been changed out after being torqued. I have personally found loose bolts on similar connections. I'm not familiar with the particular crane in use here so I can't really know what type of connection it is that we are talking about. Is it a pin that maybe had a keeper missing? A set of shouldered bolts that were not tightened due to being forgotten?<br />

<br />
You should be putting your hands on the bolts of your cranes. I can't tell you how often I find hand loose bolts that should be tightened well beyond my physical ability to loosen them without a tool, let alone by hand. This is how we can prevent these problems from getting to the point of failure. Daily Checks should be done prior to each shift. Don't take the extra time your employer gives you to just go up in the crane and get yourself set up, walk that jib. Look at those pins. Put hands on those bolts. It's your life that we might be talking about.<br />

Plymouth, Devon, UK A man in his 30"s fell from a tower crane. The fall was about 200 feet in length and resulted in death.<br />
<a href="http://www.vertikal.net/en/news/story/11800/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;">Vertikal</span></a> reports the story as a man whom climbed over a security fence then climbed the crane without authorization. When he reached the turntable he found that he couldn't get any higher and then fell or jumped to his death.<br />
The picture shows what appears to be a Liebherr 420 (US designation). These cranes have a hatch door from the turntable to cab transition. If you are the operator, you can place a lock that would prevent a person from getting past this area. The height of the cab and it's sheer sheet metal face would make it impossible to climb around without setting up ropes.<br />
This is one of those things that we in the industry often endeavor to prevent, but it seems like a uphill battle. I've seen cranes with 10 feet of plywood walls built with razor wire at the top. The crazies still get by. People stealing copper show up to take the large power cords that feed 480v with a 200 amp service up to the crane. Operators will show up and find the cord gone. We've seen it where they've just taken bolt cutters and cut right through the live wires. I've heard a story about it happening at a crane service yard where they found drag marks as if the person who did it was injured and couldn't walk out. Sorry, I find that hilarious. Sometimes justice moves at the speed of light.<br />
You should do what you can to prevent people from getting themselves hurt, but if they are jumping fences, clearing plywood walls while getting through razor wire, they are determined and short of putting a couple of trained pit bulls on the second mast landing, we can't save these people from injuring themselves. Even at that, they would certainly sue here in the US for the bites that they would receive, and sadly they'd often win.<br />

Buenos Aires, Argentina (Palermo Las Canitas) A tower crane on a specially designed pedestal collapsed killing no one. It fell over four buildings, destroyed the ceiling of one apartment, which would have likely killed the occupants if they were in that spot, but everyone walks away from this one.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5DnwVx8pnIf-4laC-QX8zij8d5UCi1-NAcYQzDIdU2es0njaS7icIMag-yt9d_0BgMtc8KWuCuum1pyaU3qhCkZCgAvk021kTP_1vIJCYJ5y7BSdfOcpUOeY5WDJNY_oiLP6-ki-ucuuq/s1600/Argentina+Base.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="201" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5DnwVx8pnIf-4laC-QX8zij8d5UCi1-NAcYQzDIdU2es0njaS7icIMag-yt9d_0BgMtc8KWuCuum1pyaU3qhCkZCgAvk021kTP_1vIJCYJ5y7BSdfOcpUOeY5WDJNY_oiLP6-ki-ucuuq/s320/Argentina+Base.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

Looking at the design, I've never seen anything like it. It's a large concrete footing on top of four concrete pillars. At first my thought was that that they were trying to make it easier to finish the building at the end of the job. Normally you would pull the tower sections out, then go back and fill in the 3x3 meter holes in the floors that allowed the crane through. But if you had four concrete pillars close together like that, what could you put in that area of the building? So ease of removal couldn't have been the case. It actually looks like it would make it 100 times worse because you would have to remove all of that concrete. The only thing even remotely close to this that I've ever seen is a crane that was anchored to a large structural concrete beam that then had Aluminium Screw Jack Shoring for the next two floors down.<br />

Looking at the base, I just don't like the way it's set up. You have a crane that is sitting on top of this large concrete block as if it's a raised footing. Then you have two floors of concrete columns. It would be one thing if the concrete portion had something to resist the torsional loading, but I don't see much that would resist that. I see some wood, but a compression or two on soft wood and you simply have wood sitting there and providing no resistance. We've all felt concrete floors move under us when a car drives by in a parking garage, and frankly a crane being loaded and torquing up to swing is doing the same thing to concrete. Since even flexible concretes are terrible in shear, what is stopping this concrete from moving? In the case of the crane on the large structural beam that I've seen, it was all tied into the floor of a building with enough mass to resist it. Here, there is little mass, and the mass that is there, only makes it worse because it's so top heavy.<br />
<br />
For us in the field, this strongly points out the need to inspect your cranes, daily, and prior to your shift. Get out that flash light and look for concrete cracks. Don't show up to your crane and just run up the ladders. You might get the odd person whom doesn't understand. But here is the reality. That concrete, it didn't crack overnight. It was moving, and those cracks could have been seen. The same is true with most weld cracks. They spend a while moving and tearing just a bit more each time until enough of the weld has failed that it can't take the stress at all and let's go. Dig around, look. One other important thing, notice that the failure is on the side that would normally be considered loaded because the limited size of the jobsite on that side of the crane? The counterweights load that side of the crane nearly as much as the maximum pick on the jib side. So be sure to look at all sides of your crane thoroughly.<br />

This story was brought to my attention by another blogger. Gustavo with <a href="http://gruasytransportes.wordpress.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;">Gruas y Tranportes</span></a> (Cranes and Transports) alerted me to the story as it was in his home town. He has written a few blogs on it and there is some more information that can be found there. Thank you Gustavo.<br />

This morning a video from inside one of the apartments came out on this <a href="http://www.tn.com.ar/sociedad/132850/grua-caida-%E2%80%9Cel-departamento-tiene-destruccion-total%E2%80%9D?autoplay=true&video=132848"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;">website</span></a>. Can you imagine the fear of watching TV while sitting on that couch! If you were under it, it might be deadly. I also found it interesting to see so clearly where the rebar was helping the concrete hold together.<br />
