    Neat pics but it's all about radius, not height. Any career crane op wouldn't have a second thought about it, all things being within the chart.

    I used to operate one like that, only it was a little smaller and had wheels

    i don't even think i'd want to go to the top floor of that building, let alone operate a crane up there.

    John,
    That picture is scary.

    Is this having to pickup up from ground level ?

    I get worried with heights, No one ever got killed falling from heights, It is the sudden retardation effect when you reach the ground way toooooooo fast, Dont want to see Sara Pailins house shes a politician, We are fed up with ours

    No probem Mac, it's been proven that most people can jump a drop of 6 feet without injury, so when you fall off that crane, wait until you are 6' off the ground then jump.
