Crane size was fine. But his outriggers were barely half out...

 

could not see the out riggers but he sure fu9ked up! sticks can be deceptive though ive had them weigh 2 tonnes gone for a bigger and its only a ton ...i spose better safe than sorry ,a crane jib is the last thing you want to come crashing past you!

I know the guy who carried that job off, and wont be mentioning names, he's good friend of mine and also help him out now and again, but the crane company he hired out sent out a mechanic to that job, and the crane company took all the blame for when the hse turned up. Not taking sides with anyone, and everyone has there own opinion.
