@0:34 you can clearly see he has what is called “broken track”. If you look at the right hand track frame look closely at the bottom left rear. The gap between the frame and the treads is slightly wider than in the front. That means he is getting “light” and on a critical pick like this, usually 75% or more of capacity of chart, everything should of stopped right there. Once he started to move a heavy load like this will NOT move perfectly with the boom tip and just a few inches outside of radius and already light and you see the result. Ran crawlers like this for years and said no to a pick more than once. They always listened because they knew if they got someone else and this happened after a certified operator said no it was gray bar hotel for them.
SDJMEfan12 you nailed it even a novice like my self can see this. Bet you it was a, we gotta get this done kind of decision. Something irresponsible of that nature. Deal with that kind of bull crap every day in the marine industry.
Divided, Too bad there seems to be a shortage of crane 'experts' out on the job. Might be hard to get an operator job again with a couple million dollar crane wreck in your CV., and lucky if no one is killed or maimed.
Sometimes it could be just as simple as a highschooler in physics class like me. The crane drove back and therefore lost the support of the planks that the tracks are supposed to be on so balance could be maintained. I already felt squirmy when the operator drove backwards anyway. I didn't see the boom, but I assumed that it was moving forward to compensate for the position of the crane going backwards. Unfortunately, due to the weight of that concrete, this gave the load more leverage, therefore tipping the crane right over its limit. When operating with machines like this, centre of gravity is something you do not want to mess around with.
After the signalperson walked away from the right side of the crane while the crane was moving, the treads began to lift at 0:55. Stability was lost when the treads came off the double stacked sheets of steel at the front of the crane (rear from your view point) and the uneven distribution of the weight (not all treads are in contact with ground nor sheet steel) led to increased ground compaction that led to a tipping condition. Since this is a critical lift, there were inadequate ground preparation for the lift and not enough signalpersons/riggers to watch the condition of the crane during the lift.
This video is italian: "Watch out watch out" "GO GO GO!" "Oh holy Mary what a disaster, nooooo, nooooooooooo" "I said it, i said it" "Oh my God oh my God Oh my God" Really desperate...i feel so sorry for them :( Ps: 1:22 see the guys come out from the dust...a miracle
Felix Cat not when they find the workers were at fault then it’s the Craine companies problem who will then blame the builders who will then blame the company and so on and so on lol lot of rubbish to pick up and machine and Damaged property to pay for or that beam most likely worth 3-$400000 a beam . Very glad no one was hurt as all the shouts and whistles made everyone run in the first 10scs of it going wrong . looked to me like very poor health and safety management and a poor understanding of shifting weights on a turning axes on an uneven non prepped ground . Insurance gonna have a field day with this lot .
I dont know man. It really sounded like someone was hurt. He sounded in excruciating pain and he was screaming for help. But then again, I havnt read the full report.
@@Bart-Did-it Good post, but it's not certain that the beam is injured. May have to be thoroughly checked for cracks and damages, but my guess is they will just reuse it.
What we call a 'tray lift' tray being the floating counterweight behind the main counterweight of the crane. What's tricky about these types of lifts is your working radius is very limited because you have to be at certain radius in order to float the tray (meaning as you pick the load the tray of counterweight leaves the ground in order to counter the load, if it's on the ground then it's not counter to the load and you couldn't move the crane either). The crane is very limited as to how far it can boom down (move the load further away from the crane, increase radius) or boom up (move the load closer to the crane, decrease radius). If you boom up to much then the tray will no longer float, essentially it's a very sophisticated balancing act between the counterweight and the load. Extremely poor shoring/matting underneath the crane as well here, probably not level either and on a tray lift you rely very much on pick and carry, good level matting is essential because you need the tracks to move the load, not the boom. Couldn't really tell from this video close up if the boom was moving at all, from what I can tell it looks like this was a near or over capacity lift from the start. If the ground was sloping to the front and the operator, as you can see, started backing up that momentum of going slightly uphill may have been all that was needed to tip the crane over. The operator must be part feline as you can see he escaped from the cab.
Seems to me even the slight swaying of the tray weight from reversing would effect the radius of the counterweight and at or above capacity for the lift that could make it tip.
@@haroldsmith45302 Yep. If you look closely at the track pads, on the ground, the ''front'' ones, towards the load, now sit on nothing!, they had planks under em... You see the track pads, lifting-off the idlers slowly too.
the crane collapsed because there was an aquifer not reported or detected underground, this caused the sinking of the left track (min. 1.01) with consequent imbalance of the crane.
There was an attempt for the upper anchalons to save money, more than likely. Should have gotta a bigger crane, and crane mats always with a crane that size.
Danny davis, on cranes that big, there are drive motors on both the front and rear of the track frame. He walked out from under the load. The spotters should have stopped him when the counter weights began to rise from initial elevation
I’m speculating that the crane was simply boomed out to a lift radius beyond its tipping capacity. The suspended counterweights are not uncommon for heavy lifts and the ground looks to be very stiff and did not give way under the tips of the crane tracks.
Looks like they were trying to reposition the ballast when the failure occurred. Probably not a good idea to reposition that thing when you're fully loaded.
he should have gotten an oscar for his performance (to be fair I have no idea how I'd react and I honestly fell like id be lucky if I reacted the same way)
The load is what actually saved the crane from crashing down on the operator cabin. If you notice, the crane body swings around rapidly to the right and the operators cabin is then on the bottom. However, the piece of concrete hits the ground and since it is so tall, the main lattice boom rests on top of it and the operators cabin is then spared from being crushed or even hitting the ground. That is how he luckily escapes, and hopefully only suffered minor injury. I'm glad that no one else on the ground was crushed because of the operator and load master's major failure.
When you go to school and learn how to operate a crane, or any piece of heavy equipment, the first thing they teach you is that you need to be belted in, and to stay in the cab at all times until you come to a complete stop. The cabins/cabs are protected in an apparatus called a ROPU, which stands for Roll Over Protection Unit, sort of like how a car has a safety cage that you sit in when inside. You don't bail out, you hold on tight. But if you stop the video at 1:22, you will see the cabin swing to the bottom as the crane tips over.
You guys realize this happened because of 3 things. First the toes of the crawler went between the 2 pads. In turn this made the load to go away from the crane. Second, the crane was at max capacity. There was no room for error, especially the load going farther out. Lastly, this will go down as operator error. It is the operators responsibility to make sure the pads were put together so the toes wouldn't drop. If working close to max load capacity everything has to be right or things like this happen.
In the evening of the 9th of May, a large crawler crane collapsed in Varese, Italy while lifting a large section of a new viaduct at the Arcisate Stabio railway yards. The piece of concrete bridge was never put into place, as the Vernazza-owned crane lost its stability and overturned, dumping its load on the ground. Although several people were on site watching the operation, luckily no one was injured. The crane’s operator is also safe, as he managed to get out of the cabin in time, jumping from a height of nearly three meters. The next morning, the technicians made an inspection in order to evaluate the situation and the time it would need to remove the crane, while the outsourcing firm Salcef is investigating the causes that led to the crane’s overturn. According to the first information though, the problem lies with the machinery, not its operation. Despite this failure, the railway owner company Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (Rfi) confirmed that there will be no slowdown in the works to complete the new railway line, which is expected to open in December 2017.
Okay after watching the video a few times I think I know what happened. So if you notice at the start of the video the counterweights are really close to the structure they're building. You will see the crane operator is backing up and also pulling in the counterweights so that when the crane swings to put in that new concrete piece the back of the crane will clear the steel framing behind it. Well when it was pulling in the counterweight it messed up the balance and the crane toppled over. That is my guess as to what happened. These crane operators are usually fairly educated. I'm surprised that they made this mistake.
Counter weight is less & uneven Ground surface . thats Counter weight is acts up to 100% of load can handle at flat surface ground. when chain mounted run as angle position load impacts on boom .
Rather, there is a lack of proper communication between the crane operator and the coordinator and the visionary crew threatening the lack of stability of the machine chassis
Yep, basically he backed out from under it. It's simple physics. Someone didnt get their math right in the st up of the crane. Those kind of cranes should never have to track when under a load. Especially a load that's pushing its limits (and that looked like it was). Rotation and boom movement only.
@@frankrogers436 Hm I dont think the crane was near its maximum cap. the ballast tray hasnt got many blocks stacked... (Maybe the first mistake) But the main fail was to stop, and direcly proceed tracking without taking care of swinging ballast an Load, it works both against stability due to the swing
No one on earth can make me laugh just by running around and yelling "OH!" the way northern Italians can make me laugh just by running around and yelling "OH!"
I would like to hear the reasoning for this collapse after the investigation. I have operated cranes, 999, and 888 with 300+ booms. the operators first responsibility is to know the weight of the pick and then to know if the crane can handle it. also wondering if the oiler was operating at the time???
Right? Even non-union get it right most of the time. WTF do you think happened? Did he travel into a low? He wasnt toed up. To much weight? When i connected for Adams & Smith I would be happoy to see our engineer come out and check everything like making sure our true center of gravity was known when unloading the 100 ton bridge girders and laying out center pin for critical picks, shit like that.
That had to have been the operator, nobody would have run straight through the disaster. The cab should be over the left track, that’s where he seems to have come from.
Also notice that at 1:01, the front/toe of the tracks are off of the matting material which removed all of the front support and allowed the crane to tip even more once the counterweights moved forward. You would be surprised at how a mere 6 inches of wood could have helped prevent this as well as having proper counterweights on the rear of the crane.
Jeremiah Mckenna no. the crane operator moving the crane with the load at that height, that was the problem, isnt allowed. and superlift isnt full tones
Cristian-Costin Ene. What are you talking about? I happen to be an N.C.C.E.R. Crane Operator, so I know a thing or two about how to Safely operate a crane. It doesn't matter how high the load is, cranes are designed to lift loads high and maneuver them in the air and lower them into their final resting place. But that needs to happen on a stable foundation, which I have clearly pointed out.
Jeremiah Mckenna second, if he want to move it with load, platform be at least bangozi from woods, not that shit. trust me i m on eraction wind turbine.
What is the weight of the load? what is the rated capacity of the crawler crane?? what is the weight of the superlift?? what is the radius in front? what is the radius of the superlift counter weigtht??
Hi Mi. Did you shoot this video - or know who did? I'm a documentary researcher in Toronto looking for permission to use it in a media project. Please let me know. Thank you.
Notice how that 1 guy walked away from the crane instead of going towards it to help like everyone else did and that person howling loud as isn't helping
@@hannahsmovies5612 I'm not sure what a claim like this would cost but I personally worked on a job where our equipment operator accidentally severed a fiber optic cable that handles a the majority of 911 calls for the east bay. We were fined over 50,000 for every minute that the emergency 911 call traffic was disrupted which was just shy of 1 hour. Luckily we had insurance which covered the fines and repair cost which would have otherwise bankrupted the company.
Now that you mention it, In all the crane fail, etc videos (binge-watcher here) I have seen over the course of 3 weeks I don't recall 1 load drop. BrandyF from West Texas.
Did they know what the charts showed as far as how far from center pin they could go with this much weight ? They should have boomed up to bring the load closer to the crane.
Dan Bortner I setup homes in Wyoming and on our crane set modular homes we had a 7mph wind cutoff. Most the time 5mph my boss called it off. Safety always first.
Very risky because a crawler crane with no outriggers. This type of crane has a very small "footprint" and is subject to tipping as a result. Looks like they miscalculated the extra counterweight that you can see suspended at the back. The main counterweight is on the crane. You can see both counterweights swing to the left as the whole assembly tips over. Even if there was an alarm when it started to tip it is unlikely the operator could have lowered the load fast enough to avoid tipping. Yes, it would be great if a crane operator could comment. Yes, obviously the counterweight on the crane and the extra one hanging at the back were not enough for the load and the length and angle of the boom. It looks like the beam they were trying to put in place was much heavier than they were told it was. Unfortunate that this happened. There must be a report on this somewhere. The damage is extensive. There goes the contractor's estimate! senior engineer.
Ehi Mi Li, hai un indirizzo e-mail a cui potremmo contattarti in merito a questo video? Saremmo interessati a parlare di una licenza d’uso del video, se fosse possibile (ad esempio tramite e-mail). Ciao, Felix :)
AND!!! they should have been on mats instead of stair stepped plates. The engineering of the whole critical pick is as much or more to blame as the operator and ground personnel
It looks like the front end of the tracks were originally on a block of some sort. When they reversed and came off the blocks it would've brought the boom out further than planned maybe or caused a pendulum effect
lmao sometimes i am just surprised at how chilled people are. i mean considering the weight of all this shit collapsing, stuff can be hurled hundreds of meters still killing you... the one dude just sorta sidestepped that shit and half-assedly powerwalked for a couple of meters
I dont think the load they are lifting are not compatible or lets say is not the exact counter weight of the load they should add more because when it bounce even a little the load will doubled the capacity so the suspended counterweight will help to balance the capacity and i notice why the tracks moves backward...
cause of the building behind ,While the crane was walking reverse the crane operator make a mistake such as rewinch the derrick boom to the main boom and it make serious change of central gravity to front of the crane.
ZEF крановщик живой потому-то он управлял кран с радио управлением , это тот который ходил вначале возле крана , а в конце тот который каску снял с головы
I believe that helicopter pilots can jettison their slung loads in an emergency. Could someone in the crane industry explain why a crane operator cannot/should not jettison the load to save the crane in a tip-over emergency? Is it not technically possible? Why not?
Před 4 lety+2
If the operator is quick enough yes he can dump the clutch on the winch drum but sometimes it's to late to do anything
That also gives absolutely no warning or time to run away for the people on the ground. Also a machine that large would still break after slamming back down after dropping the load considering the floating counterweights

When the crane reverses back, it reverses off the front pad,
You can see the space.
Its at that exact moment that the crane starts to tip forwards.

The cab should be over the left track, that’s where he seems to have come from.
@@SiegePerilousEsauMaltomite I was wondering if that was him, I'm sure you're right. Talk about lucky.
RyGuy yes the was myself (operator) jumping/climbing down track
Русский язык на такие случаи по богаче будет
Я вот не пойму: та шо нельзя было на подъёмном кране предусмотреть запас противовеса, учитывая массу груза????????.
Если богатую коллекцию словечек крепеньких. Чисто по-русски.
@@createl21 а шо это значит? Можно расшифровку?
Also notice that at 1:01, the front/toe of the tracks are off of the matting material which removed all of the front support and allowed the crane to tip even more once the counterweights moved forward. You would be surprised at how a mere 6 inches of wood could have helped prevent this as well as having proper counterweights on the rear of the crane.
Jeremiah Mckenna no. the crane operator moving the crane with the load at that height, that was the problem, isnt allowed. and superlift isnt full tones
Cristian-Costin Ene. What are you talking about? I happen to be an N.C.C.E.R. Crane Operator, so I know a thing or two about how to Safely operate a crane.
It doesn't matter how high the load is, cranes are designed to lift loads high and maneuver them in the air and lower them into their final resting place. But that needs to happen on a stable foundation, which I have clearly pointed out.
Jeremiah Mckenna second, if he want to move it with load, platform be at least bangozi from woods, not that shit. trust me i m on eraction wind turbine.
Cristian-Costin Ene, So you are a certified crane operator?
There isn't anything wrong with the type of mats they are using, just the placement.
Cristian-Costin Ene, What is "bangozi"?
Noooooo.Mama Mia!
What is the weight of the load? what is the rated capacity of the crawler crane?? what is the weight of the superlift?? what is the radius in front? what is the radius of the superlift counter weigtht??
Hi Mi. Did you shoot this video - or know who did? I'm a documentary researcher in Toronto looking for permission to use it in a media project. Please let me know. Thank you.
This is why you feel what you are doing
Notice how that 1 guy walked away from the crane instead of going towards it to help like everyone else did and that person howling loud as isn't helping
was LMI broke?
It was a Terex Superlift 3800, right?
Everyone making jokes about the guy crying, the guy is obviously injured somewhere in the back ground.
Garythesquid SQUID The same guy was crying before anything hit the ground. Pretty sure he is just a bitch or he forgot to pay his insurance premiums.
@@jacobwrona i think you're over-estimating what insurance will actually pay for anyways
@@hannahsmovies5612 I'm not sure what a claim like this would cost but I personally worked on a job where our equipment operator accidentally severed a fiber optic cable that handles a the majority of 911 calls for the east bay. We were fined over 50,000 for every minute that the emergency 911 call traffic was disrupted which was just shy of 1 hour. Luckily we had insurance which covered the fines and repair cost which would have otherwise bankrupted the company.
I guess his ass sensor didn go off 😂😂😂😂 been whole lot cheaper to drop the load
So many confirmations in the computer you have to go through now to drop is the problem
Now that you mention it, In all the crane fail, etc videos (binge-watcher here) I have seen over the course of 3 weeks I don't recall 1 load drop. BrandyF from West Texas.
It hurts my mind... it’s hard to see
Did they know what the charts showed as far as how far from center pin they could go with this much weight ? They should have boomed up to bring the load closer to the crane.
That looks like in Ame. Large mistake they made was not using two heavy cranes to lesson the load on one.
... hey boss, I'm going to lunch
Looks like they need a crane for the crane.
lmao, that will cost a hefty buck.
Look at the leaves blowing on the trees in the backround. That should have told them its prob not a good day for crane work
Dan Bortner I setup homes in Wyoming and on our crane set modular homes we had a 7mph wind cutoff. Most the time 5mph my boss called it off. Safety always first.
Very risky because a crawler crane with no outriggers. This type of crane has a very small "footprint" and is subject to tipping as a result. Looks like they miscalculated the extra counterweight that you can see suspended at the back. The main counterweight is on the crane. You can see both counterweights swing to the left as the whole assembly tips over. Even if there was an alarm when it started to tip it is unlikely the operator could have lowered the load fast enough to avoid tipping. Yes, it would be great if a crane operator could comment. Yes, obviously the counterweight on the crane and the extra one hanging at the back were not enough for the load and the length and angle of the boom. It looks like the beam they were trying to put in place was much heavier than they were told it was. Unfortunate that this happened. There must be a report on this somewhere. The damage is extensive. There goes the contractor's estimate! senior engineer.
Did you calculate the weight?
NO!!!
WorkMan Running from di back sleep on di same side,u lucky..
oh my god.....
Hope everyone is ok
Insurance guy : Ok ima need everyone and I mean everyone to give a urine sample 😨🤔🤣
Riiiight
Not enough counter balance.
Escapou fedendo
Ehi Mi Li, hai un indirizzo e-mail a cui potremmo contattarti in merito a questo video? Saremmo interessati a parlare di una licenza d’uso del video, se fosse possibile (ad esempio tramite e-mail). Ciao, Felix :)
AND!!! they should have been on mats instead of stair stepped plates. The engineering of the whole critical pick is as much or more to blame as the operator and ground personnel
Hi. I'm interested in getting permission to use this video on a TV show. Are you owner or do you have rights? If not, do you know who is? Thanks.
*1:21** de onde surge aquele homem correndo perto da esteira ?*
O preço dos acidentes nem sempre pagam futuras prevenções 😮
It looks like the front end of the tracks were originally on a block of some sort. When they reversed and came off the blocks it would've brought the boom out further than planned maybe or caused a pendulum effect
Why they allow to roll where it has a load..u stupid
lmao sometimes i am just surprised at how chilled people are. i mean considering the weight of all this shit collapsing, stuff can be hurled hundreds of meters still killing you... the one dude just sorta sidestepped that shit and half-assedly powerwalked for a couple of meters
Вот так , за 2 минуты становяться банкротами)))))
Bommbit да жутковато я сам кранавой и не всегда все протекает удачно к сожплению.
The whaling man's rambling can loosely be translated to: i am so screwed. I am so so screwed. I would of faired better underneath it all.
*wailing
The management run the other way with hands on their heads. The men run straight in to rescue their mate. Telling.
My first thought. Either that or an inspector.
😂😂😂😂 the way how dude saying nooooo like he got his report card in got straight f on it in knowing he got a ass whooping waiting for him 😂😂😂
А чо смешного? Там люди были 😡🤬
That guy was hurt and was crying out in pain, didnt you see the rest of the crew run towards the accident?
Its not funny
Not funny didn t laught he was injured
You have no respect.
ma quant'è bello
I dont think the load they are lifting are not compatible or lets say is not the exact counter weight of the load they should add more because when it bounce even a little the load will doubled the capacity so the suspended counterweight will help to balance the capacity and i notice why the tracks moves backward...
Operator Be like meant to do that🤫🤫🤫 Its supposed to do that too
のおおおおぉぉぉぉぉぉぉおおおお！
so so sad...sorry to see this
cause of the building behind ,While the crane was walking reverse the crane operator make a mistake such as rewinch the derrick boom to the main boom and it make serious change of central gravity to front of the crane.
Лайк если зашел прочитать русский коммент
Сначала разбегаются, потом сбегаются чтобы кранового вытащить
ZEF крановщик живой потому-то он управлял кран с радио управлением , это тот который ходил вначале возле крана , а в конце тот который каску снял с головы
ZEF он в зеленой жилетке, и в конце махает каской в руке

Very tragic. Sad to watch. Better learn from this
O m g
When you manage to lay it over in structural
this is why I am terrified of cranes 😨
I'm not terrified, but I still don't like to walk near them…
I believe that helicopter pilots can jettison their slung loads in an emergency.
Could someone in the crane industry explain why a crane operator cannot/should not jettison the load to save the crane in a tip-over emergency? Is it not technically possible? Why not?
If the operator is quick enough yes he can dump the clutch on the winch drum but sometimes it's to late to do anything
you'd have to react very quickly, once the crane loses balance it's usually only 2-3 seconds before the point of no return.
That also gives absolutely no warning or time to run away for the people on the ground. Also a machine that large would still break after slamming back down after dropping the load considering the floating counterweights
Hi Mi Li,
Do you have an email where I could reach out to you?
I'm working as a researcher on a documentary and would like to ask you a couple of questions.
Thank you :)
Please, tell me
@@micheluccio69 My email address is Maria.Miccio@britesparkfilms.com, would you mind dropping me a line so that I can leave you my number?
It would be great to have a chat with you.
Thank you!
@@micheluccio69 Also, I'm Italian, let me know if that makes things easier :)
Best worker that day: cameraman.
That is FUCKING HILARIOUS
