He's lowering the hammer. You have to pull the trigger on most guns to do it. It slipped and fired the round under it.

The old friction cranes were built like literal tanks. You can abuse the poo poo out of them and as long as you replace the friction pads, linkage pins, cable and keep the rust down they'll run near forever. Until you wear through a pin and the boom falls to the ground. They're easier to work on then hydraulic cranes too. Replacing the piston seals on an extension cylinder in an 85 ton crane is the biggest pain in the rear end. I'd rather spend all day hammering on frozen linkage pins then do that.

If I had to guess it's an amphibious excavator they repaired the track compartments on and they were taking it for a test drive (float?) it didn't work and one side got swamped. Amphibious excavator tracks are sealed and move in and out to give it buoyancy, usually. Edit: also for deep water and heavier machines they put extra floats on on sides of the tracks and that one didn't have them.

Pipe pile aren't driven to bedrock or at least they don't have to be since they're held by friction. They are just driven to refusal. Basically you drive them down and when you think they're good and they hit minimum depth for the size of the pile a technician comes out and does a blow count then does some math and figures how much they should support. It's possible to hit a rock layer break it up, get refusal and then have it fail. It's also possible someone did some math wrong.

Dad has told me stories about all the guys he worked with in the 80s, 70s maybe, running their mouths about getting a CDL because they'd make a ton of easy money being truckers. Turns out being a trucker is awful. He also said he wouldn't get a CDL so they'd never call him to hull a lowboy. Because as soon a construction company knows you can do something you're going to be doing it. Job description or not.

Some times the easiest way to do something is sticking your hands were they shouldn't go. Like my dad who one day needed grease some gears on a crane. The easiest way to do this on older cranes is with the crane running and the gears turning. Did it hundred times over the 30+ years working on cranes and it was fine except the last time when he got distracted and the tip of his index finger caught in the gears. He said it was stuck so he gave it a yank which pulled the finger tip off and ripped the whole tendon out of his forearm.

He never said but I could see it pulling his hand into the winch if he didn't. I'd have to see where it happened in the machine to know for sure. He did however say there was a little chunk of meat hanging on the end of the tendon. He wanted them to cut the rest of the finger off but the doctors refused.

"Do it or you're fired" There was a guy here that dropped a saw into the water off a barge and the foreman told him to go get it or find a new job. He was a decent swimmer so he jumped in. Current drug him under the barge and they found him a couple days later.

I have learned you should never tell an old man not to do something, it just makes them want to do it more. Your best bet is to just start doing whatever it is before they can start.

Who needs calculations when you can just choke a sling on it and pick it up a foot and put it back down fifteen times moving the sling at random till it balances. One of the fun things about older friction cranes is generally they'll fall apart before they tip if you have the outriggers out and down.

There's is a close to 100% chance the key was under the floor mat or in an ash tray if it wasn't just left in the ignition. It's just too much of a pain in the rear end to have all the people that might need to jump in and move one have a key let alone just the operators.

The weight of the cable reel has nearly picked the front end of the truck off the ground and has bottomed out the back suspension. That's really something for a goose neck and a fifth wheel. edit: I'd say put it over the trailers tires but it looks like if they moved it back the fenders would just tear them up.

Canuckistan posted:Shouldn't the spool be over the triple axle and not at the front of the trailer? Yeah, but look at it. It only has like three inches of clearance with it on the tongue moving it back would probably drop the trailer down onto the tires. If you actually got the trailer moving it'd probably cause enough friction to destroy the tires. I doubt it was ever tied down or moved.
