Few things wrong if you worked like that here. First we gotta get 360 degree grip on the lift so have to wrap twice, secondly a 4 leg set of chains is for lifting a 4 point lift. Thirdly unless the chains have been shortened the same length then the load will not lift flat so either he didn't countbthe links so maybe they were marked but can't see any.
Yes some site would like you to double wrap, whats the 4leg chain for lifting 4 point line? Not sure what you mean. If you have to shorten on the spot roughly evening out the chain length works well, this one picked up perfect.
Hey bro can you do the best tips on erecting a steel pole/beam. Sometimes i do it and it will swing away and never quite on center. I use the radius but sometimes its hard too judge the actual distance the load is away from me. Can you demonstrate with the small model crane you have?
From horizontal to vertical? Swinging away from the crane? Possibly deflection, because once you are vertical you still won't have alot of the weight even when you are in the right position and the load is vertical the last of the weight can deflect the crane more.
@@msuave2772 the beam will be on the ground laying down vertical in front of the crane and once I finally get it up vertical. I can't tell wether too boom up or boom down more. It's hard too judge when it's right in front of me. Idk if you know what I mean but I want too know what's a good method for making picks that require vertical beams/poles. My friend said use the radius but things move so fast at the site I can't get out of the crane and count the feet.
I always used to go in out over in and out again the arguments it would cause! 😂😂 Operators would winge at me wreckon the legs would snap off BS! Never once seen it happen or heard about it happening. Then there was the argument about double wrapping stillages everytime no matter what. As long as you lift the dam things safely and use common sense thats all thst matters. Some T/A basketed a stillage of tubes one day on site and the whole lot came down in wash plant ever since then site managers be crazy. It was stupid though why would you basket a still
Lol so because you've never seen it or heard of it happening it doesn't happen? 😂 What a fkn Crayon eater 😂😂 they'll give anyone a ticket these days Apparently. I'll bet you have Velcro shoes too.
Actually had it happen at a company I worked at doing general hire for construction, was the alto scaff still fair bit lighter gear (and the still had previous fork lift damage), I mainly box hitch them by default so stacking them up is easy and laying them out is easy with the tower crane.
This is an incorrect and unsafe technique. You’re supposed to wrap the load with tie wire and then hook your chains onto the tie wire and use a shoelace as a tagline

Do you guys use 6 axle ballast trailers in Aus or just multiple 3 axle flatbeds?

@@worm3615 listen to your dogman
Dogman should help you out there w the last bit, and or drop chains on pick up point before lifting and mark radius and judge from there

Same lol check the stillage is ok and yeah i really like the wrap, but i do understand why they are against it.

I always hear the old " you'll snap the legs on the stillage rigging it that way".
