🤦DIDNT LIKE THAT DRIVEWAY ANYWAY A LTM destroying some poor persons driveway or car park due to its weight. Park of good planning is not just looking at the lifting but also access for such heavy equipment. #crane #cranes #cranehire #mobilecranes #heavyequipment #cranerental #craneoperator #news #content #construction #constructionequipment #fail

Imagine what Ground baring pressure is on 1m x 0.75m out rigger pad. Makes me giggle, HSE documentation, risk assessments, safe working practices and so on, but who’s accountable from the clients side making sure that all the documentation is followed. As in this case which happens in many cases the ground is not as per the GBP requirement in the rigging study. But the client or those working acting on the owners behalf take the cheap prices. Make sure the conditions are fair. Stop and claim additionals for crane down time and other subcontractors waiting time. Construction going back in time.
No matter the circumstances for being there, as soon as that first axle hit dirt, they should have stopped.

... Ground Protection and Site Access mats would be helpful. They are not only for unimproved ground. I have been learning more and more about this aspect of the lifting and construction industries through my work with the DICA USA team.

Somehow I wouldn’t be putting a mobile crane on that sort of ground, let alone performing a lift on it, not without a full ground survey first!

Mobile cranes are build and designed with overall transport weight divided on each axle with max of 12t and that's what match the road design standards of axle loading
