Stop in for a cup of coffee

Cranes is good :lol: Rule #1 If the lift doesn't look safe .. It probably isn't. Rule #2 Refer back to rule #1 .. We had a horn signal code between the operator and the oiler. Stripping a bridge we were. 45T hydro crane, pretty much ALL the boom out, operator picks up the load, signals me to drive, I drive, signals me to turn the rig right, I turn right, signals me to turn right again, not turning :wtf:, I look out my side window something doesn't look quite right, then I looked down. The load was so far from the rig my steer tires were about 4' off the ground. I bring the rig to a safe stop, operator starts honking the horn again, I don't move, again he honks, I honk back, he looks my way from the crane seat and sees my finger illustrating the added ground clearance we had acquired :rofl:
I’m pretty sure Karl is referring to an overhead gantry crane to move heavy objects around within a closed facility.

A very different animal from what you describe.
