Mack Technician Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Man Vs. Machine. Operator came back, first day, from 5 months of medical leave. His heart and bowel both withstanding. He had the elevator cab full 18' up when the boom let go and slammed against the cab. Got him out with the manlift, said my ritual beautiful catastrophe prayer and attempted to operate the machine/boom to the ground on remaining pin. The rod-eye weldment was through the glass and fish hooking the cab upper window jamb. When started the regeneration pressure began lifted the lid off the can, so some damage. Cab's caved in, but fixable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The type that is like a giant forklift with tongs the come down from the top and hold the logs on the forks Quote The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by the people who vote for a living.The government can only "give" someone what they first take from another.
