Unloading a Pallet with a Loading Crane was the most useful information. The second bundle was unloaded with 'Slings with Eyes", these are different to the other 'Round Slings' that were used, and that part was skipped (because they can get trapped under the load and they didn't want to show him freeing them?).
the only thing I disagree with is hard hats being 'recommended' - for all work undertaken at heights it is mandatory for a hard hat with chin strap, falls happen in the blink of an eye
was there a strap hooked on the step 1 its not a fixing point and 2 its blocking the step is it me or is that not a very silly thing to do and yes no hard hat he may need when hitting his head after foot gets caught in said strap great video on how not to do things
That’s a no you don’t pull slings agaisnt dunnage underneath. When you work with cranes you get told not to pull agaisnt dunnage because of sideward force that can dislodge the dunnage causing sling to slip. You can use feet on stilages because they’re fixed and load tested. You never rely on dunnage.
That was an old video, maybe hard hats where not a requirement, lol The crane did not had a remote control (old school) I do not believe using poles poking out of the pallet is the correct way. They had straight 3 m slings but they did not use it because they looked worn out.
so many wrongs in this video they need go back to school and be trained in the right ways BUT i only been doing craine-slinger work for nearly 15 years so maybe i am a newbie? THANK GOD I NEVER GOT THERE TRAINING
That was a video full of mistakes. I am a trained crane and slinger operator, serving the construction industry. You forgot to say the most important thing, you MUST have a lift plan put in place made from the AP Appointed Person of the site or not if delivered to a non business location. Safety helmet should be used at all times once you leave the cab BUT what do I know right??? 0:26 deploying the leg with no gloves. Interesting!!!!! 0:27 and now he has gloves in the close up but then on the normal distance he does not have them on. That was EDITING mistake. 0:34 You switch to another angle and it is another shot all together because NOW he has gloves on!!!! NAUGHTY BOY!!!! 0:48 You don't use the mats to "even out" It is there to SPREAD the load to the ground. You don't ALWAYS have the luxury of deploying both legs. As a minimum Full leg should be the side of unloading. 0:40 I saw the ring slings on the bulkhead, very cute, what if it rains or oil falls on them from the crane? That was just lazy, that lorry had plenty of space on the sides to put a box or two. WOODEN BLOCK??? Are you CRAZY??? The manufacturer of the crane should have provided the dedicated mats and not a PLANK of WOOD. Oh, yes, don't forget the plastic sign under the plank of wood, LMFAO. If you go to a building site, the EXCLUSION ZONE is created by them and not the crane operator. 02:23 He is not SLEWING the crane around!! NO WE WAS NOT, get your editing right!!! BTW, he took out the second arm too low for my taste, I would have raised the first arm even higher so the second when extracted would be above any person upon swinging out, specially when deploying from the BLIND SIDE. WTF?? You had the crane unfolded before the exclusion set up, why can't you get your editing sorted out first. 02:33 You were ABSOLUTELY WRONG in saying "attach the slings using the shortest possible sling configuration" 02:51 RUBBISH TEST lift, the were no equal tension on the slings and slightly to the left. The operator did NOT look at the centre load prior lift to CONFIRM the hook was in the centre of GRAVITY. Moving the load should be done with a GUIDE ROPE and not by yourself, especially if you are ALONE. Here in the UK we use guard rails when an operator needs to go onto the lorry bed. Just leave the yellow 3t loop in the lorry bed so people can trip over, nice job. Another RUBBISH lift with the metal bars. You can't do that if you are transporting pallets that are either side of the lorry bed. Furthermore, you are WRONG again. We can use the normal 3t 3m or 3t 6m flat slings and do a basket lift, perfectly safe. The way is done here in the pallet is unhelpful because the bars could be in the way of where the client wants the pallets offloaded. 05:10 You got to be JOKING, you took the yellow 3t 6m loop and left it under the side ladder, instead of putting it away if not in use but you thought it was better to FOLD the crane first and then put the slings away afterwards. You have demonstrated many things that I would NEVER do. I recommend you use a crane with REMOTE CONTROL. To do it manually is OLD SCHOOL and now considered dangerous. I would not trust that crane operator to use my crane.

Have never had a pallet fail from passing slings through thousands of times.

Wearing a Hard Hat is a MUST not just a recomendation
in the real world we have remotes lol
was there a strap hooked on the step 1 its not a fixing point and 2 its blocking the step is it me or is that not a very silly thing to do and yes no hard hat he may need when hitting his head after foot gets caught in said strap great video on how not to do things
What does PTO stand for ?
That’s a no you don’t pull slings agaisnt dunnage underneath. When you work with cranes you get told not to pull agaisnt dunnage because of sideward force that can dislodge the dunnage causing sling to slip.

Wheres his safety helmet?
The helmet is the least of his concerns but you are right, look at my comment and you will see how many things he got wrong.
No Hard Hat ?

Safety zones like that aren’t practical in the middle of London though.

How about tell us a few things instead of complaining like a little girl.
