If y'all notice, at 1:38 a bird lands on the rear left tire and the added weight made the chains fail. They forgot to factor in the bird's weight just in case one did land on the dump truck. Also, they are in the Southern Hemisphere, things weigh a little more down under. So obvious.
I bet they needed a change of pants! At first I saw one guy standing almost directly under it.. I bet he won't do that again. Glad it was low when it broke and that everyone is OK.
i don't think he did. he walked closer to the camera. not sure of course, just guessing based on where he walks on the deck and where the front wheel landed
The broken chain was in between the wheel and body, got something in there that put too much stress on one link. The other side it was in contact with just the tire itself.
Chain slings failed simple as that. Probably weren't inspected prior and it is very possible that they were not rated to pick up that amount of weight. When one chain fails, the rest will follow.
I think the choice of rigging would have been fine if they had balanced the load before swinging it. Even the greenest rookie could see it was way out of level. I think they kept it too high off the deck too- they should have lowered it as soon as it had cleared the side of the ship.
That's why we don't use chains in the US for heavy lifting. A chain is as strong as it's weakest link. It is very difficult to rate a chain's capacity. My experience, in the US we use "rated" nylon straps or chokers.
Center of Gravity shifted Cargo hence forces on grommets were not evenly distributed - inspite of Spreader used. Most probably BL of Grommets too close to actual Cargo weight.
Glad no one was hurt. All I can say at least it on ship. I was hoping it was going to fall between the ship and the pier but it fallen at the last minute on the boat deck. Nice landing.
Obviously if you knew anything about hoisting and rigging that shouldn't have happened if they used the right weight capacity chain for that load and if they did use the correct chain then they miss calculated on the center of gravity. So indeed the people lifting the load aren't the brightest/safest.
Couldn't really ask for a better "bad scenario" honestly. It could have dropped it higher off the ground, or as it was between the ship and dock. Glad no one got hit.
That’s not a dump truck. It’s a mining haul truck. Probably hauls over 100 tons of material. I work in mining and drive a truck similar except it’s a Komatsu
Maybe to avoid any flying chains, hooks and shackles that came hurling off the crane? i sure as hell wouldnt be standing around too close to 793 that just came crashing down
I think the rigging should have been different, should have used a four corner rig on top to keep the thing from tipping over and causing the chains to slip off.
How does this stuff happen.., SWL's are 4-8 times LESS than the failure point of chain's and sling's. A 10 ton chainset should take 40 tons before failure and a 10 ton sling should take 80 tons before failure, a least thats the way it is in NZ and were only sheep farmers.
Like 400 safety violations in this one video. Jesus Christ everyone from the foreman to the cameraman should be fired. No guideman. Walking underneath the load. No load bearing redundancy (always lift with 2x capacity of the load). And obviously the chains hadn't been load tested recently or they would have failed under test and not during use.
The chain broke because the weight was uneven! The crane driver should never have loaded the vehicle without a horizontal and equitable load. The back chains took the brunt of the lift. Physics 101!

Shoutout to the cameraman for keeping the camera on target when something actually happens
lol true
Who do you think loosened the chain?
@@joeyjamison5772 Lololol!!!!!
@@joeyjamison5772 i think the hook was too heavy
That's no shit there buddy!!!👍😂😂
I'm just glad no one got hurt, I really really really hate seeing people doing their jobs and doing what they are suppose to be doing and get hurt.
"For Sale: 1 Cat Dumptruck, never driven and only dropped once."
Funny
Thats not a cat, it didnt land on all 4 feet
That's why they wear helmets, just in case the truck falls on them.
jeet kune do is a good book to read
Hahaha win!
so what your trying to say is the helmet can save them from that heavy truck huh x_x is it a super helmet
Syed Adnaan LOL. I wasn't trying to say anything, it was just a joke.
:P oh k
That was some lucky break. A clean drop, with NO damage, and no injuries. Could have dropped over the railings. Give that an A+ "ACCIDENT".
"GOOD! right there! Alright, boys! Tie it down!"

Theres no bird on the wheel idk how you even think thats a bird
***** Shelton, is that you?
Must have been an African sparrow. They are big enough to carry coconuts.
Pete Diaz there is no bird.
I bet they needed a change of pants! At first I saw one guy standing almost directly under it.. I bet he won't do that again. Glad it was low when it broke and that everyone is OK.
I taught that truck chassis had enough falling energy to go through the deck or explode one of the tires. Amazing how tough the deck and tires are.
The truck fell on a boat, not a deck.
Sorry my friend. It's a ship. It has a deck as called in the nautical world.
Kendall Sain LOL! That deck's made of mahogany!
Kendall Sain not a boat. A sheep.
I heard a captain correct a passenger one day
when you think about the amount of weight that will be on those tyres when fully loaded, an empty truck is really not much for them.
Incorrect lifting tackle was used. Chains can not be used around the wheel hubs at this angle. Web slings should have been used.
Was looking for the first guy to get it right.
Those 2 guys are very talented, not just anyone can multitask a sprint while shitting themselves all at once, years of experience.
seems like huge loads are always lifted by spindly chains and straps. It is like they use the smallest things possible....sigh
Geeeeeeez... Did that bloke really walk underneath that @1.30?
What a numpty lol
i don't think he did. he walked closer to the camera. not sure of course, just guessing based on where he walks on the deck and where the front wheel landed
Crane Operator, "Well, I didn't rig the fucking thing!"
The broken chain was in between the wheel and body, got something in there that put too much stress on one link. The other side it was in contact with just the tire itself.
Hi
Lucky bastards! Everyone escaped, and even the damage to the equipment seems minimal.
I heard the guy say a chain broke ?? I was always told never use chains for lifting or rigging. Hmm.
Chain slings failed simple as that. Probably weren't inspected prior and it is very possible that they were not rated to pick up that amount of weight. When one chain fails, the rest will follow.
Props to the guy in the background in 1:39 who noticed something was wrong. Too bad there wasn't time to do anything.
I got anxiety just watching those workers keep standing to close to the damn thing...
With cargo that valuable why don’t they use double or triple straps?
Money.
Did not rig it level. Sling on rear carrying more of total load than others in front. Bad rigging and choice of rigging.
I think the choice of rigging would have been fine if they had balanced the load before swinging it. Even the greenest rookie could see it was way out of level. I think they kept it too high off the deck too- they should have lowered it as soon as it had cleared the side of the ship.
I don't understand why even some experienced workers stay under heavy loads. Unlike us, they may also have seen many horrible accidents too.
??
Thumbs up because no injuries and no damage. Great day for them all 👍

Even if I wasnt on the boat, I would have screamed loudly like a woman just for the sake of adding to the effects.
The conversation afterwards was not far from what you'd expect to hear in a movie.
a little bondo and some touch up paint charge extra for the stress test
I love the guy's accent he sounds like a badass
was the chain rated for such a heavy load and then fail, or was it simply chained up with whatever looked like it could hold?
"ok now lower it... gently....gently....GENTLY....ok perfect!"
01:30 what a lucky son of a bitch
who the heck still use chain for such project. Heavy steel wire ropes are way tougher, and they don't snap unpredictably.
They were supposed to place it on the deck but they dumped it, is that the complaint?
why would you pick with a chain?
did someone get put on the street and get fired?
Glad no one was hurt. All I can say at least it on ship. I was hoping it was going to fall between the ship and the pier but it fallen at the last minute on the boat deck. Nice landing.
Chain links are weak, why would they use them? Steel cables are Way safer and way stronger.
"There ya go! One dump truck loaded on deck, What's next?"
Can tell it was South Africa from the accent alone.
That's the last time that guy will walk under anything.
Foreman Yells :
"OK - YEAH! - Just leave it right there."
It's a little hot.. I think I'll stand in the shade.
Obviously if you knew anything about hoisting and rigging that shouldn't have happened if they used the right weight capacity chain for that load and if they did use the correct chain then they miss calculated on the center of gravity. So indeed the people lifting the load aren't the brightest/safest.
Chain twist, they should have done a look over on those chains and o links before hooking up.
whats the problem truck loaded.
Well, you know... They gotta do a little bounce check before letting the customer take it off the lot...
I'm glad nobody got hurt check your chain keep up the good work bye-bye
When you manage to fail so well that you drop it perfectly.
Couldn't really ask for a better "bad scenario" honestly. It could have dropped it higher off the ground, or as it was between the ship and dock. Glad no one got hit.
Is this covered under manufacturers warranty?
the only major load that ever fell from one of our cranes was when my boss was lifting many many tons with chains. Scary when the chain snaps!
That’s not a dump truck. It’s a mining haul truck. Probably hauls over 100 tons of material. I work in mining and drive a truck similar except it’s a Komatsu
Maybe to avoid any flying chains, hooks and shackles that came hurling off the crane? i sure as hell wouldnt be standing around too close to 793 that just came crashing down
It doesn't matter how many times you tell people not to stand under a load, they know better.
easily avoidable...not figuring out weight requirements and rigging capacity
You can never have enough straps or chains for safety!
around 200 tons here ?
Wow, bet they will learn not to get under loads.... Thank God they didn't learn the hard way.
Right about ... THERE!!! Perfect, quick disconnect and grab the other one.
I think the rigging should have been different, should have used a four corner rig on top to keep the thing from tipping over and causing the chains to slip off.
That's what happens when chains are used lifting a heavy load. Not to mention the constant rotating they were doing also.
some of those guide ropes needed to be longer, some of those guys were way too close/under the load almost.
How does this stuff happen..,
SWL's are 4-8 times LESS than the failure point of chain's and sling's.
A 10 ton chainset should take 40 tons before failure and a 10 ton sling should take 80 tons before failure, a least thats the way it is in NZ and were only sheep farmers.
was arnold swarchenegger there? at the end?
where were those straps made?
The chain is only as strong as the weakest link. I don't think anyone walked underneath it. They would be changing their shorts if they had.
Like 400 safety violations in this one video. Jesus Christ everyone from the foreman to the cameraman should be fired. No guideman. Walking underneath the load. No load bearing redundancy (always lift with 2x capacity of the load). And obviously the chains hadn't been load tested recently or they would have failed under test and not during use.
what accident?
The chain broke because the weight was uneven! The crane driver should never have loaded the vehicle without a horizontal and equitable load. The back chains took the brunt of the lift. Physics 101!
And that Ladies and Gentlemen is why you NEVER go under a hanging load!!
try the new moving job!!! it will wake you up better than coffee in the morning!!!!
Anyone have the copart link? Could use a big truck...
Bad rigging. Looks like the left rear had more weight than the right rear? Good thing the guys were out of the line of fiire.
Damn... does it not have a suspension?
Yes but travel is limited the tires provide the most shock absorbing on these trucks
imagine the weight on the boat it was dropped on.....
A simple "sv_cheats 1" then set "sv_gravity" to the lowest integer and that wouldn't have happened.
@Juden Arier IDK, maybe tap the ~ on your smart phone.
If the world ran on gamebryo the truck woulda just clipped through the boat as it fell
@@Wafflepudding I could just imagine aircraft carriers without Vphysic Clip enabled.
@Jacques Ferreira , is this your original video?
Yes. Why?

Well it's on. What more do you want???
Can anyone tell me what a "tractor" (if thats what this is called) this size is used for?

youre good..youre good.... youre good.... dont worry captain well buff out those scratches
Where did they get those lift chains from, China?
@@butchs6099 from your mother's shop
At least they got it on the ship.
Never use chains, lifting strops should have been used really. Very lucky people indeed.
the boat did move didnt you see the bow line bouncing
the weight was not balance out equally so the chain broke
Uh, on second thought I think I'll cancel my order.
Thats why you don't use chains. A chain is only as strong as the weakest link. At least it looked like noone got hurt.
never use a chain for a heavy pick , first rigging rule !
Watch from 1:38 your welcome.
I cant believe there was a guy standing underneath the damn thing in the begginning
That's why there is a safety rule to never stand or walk under loads overhead.
Isn't that where you wanted it?
That could have been a lot worse. They should have longer guide ropes for a lift like that!
los puntos de anclaje estan buenos, los cables son el tema.
all the weight is on the cab end ofcourse the chain broke. it carried over 70% of the total weight.
If you look closely You can see that at first the rear left side chain broke and only then front ones broke.
Spartan117JMC o
Plus the load was uneven.
Those were steel cables , not Walmart chains !
