Makes me laugh when I think about how many times I've had to tell the customer that my crane was not a tow truck, I pick things up, I put them down, LOL
Great video guys. I drive an 11 yard 6 axle mixer every day and have poured in to hundreds of pumps. I have seen these things fully extended straight out to the side pumping concrete and not have any issues. However I have also seen these pump trucks have an outrigger fail or the ground give way while pumping. This is all operator issues as they must continuously check their outriggers.
As bad as it was not near as bad as could have been. Missed the house, no damage to the truck, appears very little damage to the boom, no one hurt. Appears the discharge chute on the mixer truck was tore up some, probably some lost concrete in the mixer. Hopefully, they were able to keep it wet so they didn't lose a barrel. Expensive but very little damage.
I'm surprised that the boom was able to fold up after the tip-over. I would have guessed that there would have been enough damage that something would be bent enough to prevent that from happening. I'm sure the recovery bill would be gigantic with your bill along with that of two cranes.
There are no such thing as 'accidents'. Oh. and crane professionals don't "show-off", everything they do is by the chart, such as boom length, angle, radius. Good video.
It looked like they did not have the right rear outrigger deployed, or at least not all the way deployed. Those piles of plywood looked like they were in the way if it would have been out. As usual operator error.
I seen this happen on construction jobs where they got a guy, rent a crane then turn it over. I worked for a company one time they sent a employee to bring a off road fork lift, back to home office. It was in another state about 150 miles away. He went in a company pickup & thought he would drive it home. It got away from him on the mountain, he jumped off, but forklift went off mountain. I had sub- contracted 2 jobs & worked one winter doing trim inside. I saw plenty of dumb stuff working for them, they were cheap.
charles johnston yeah that’s all we were going to do with our rotator but the contractors building these houses were very persistent and insisted that it be done this way.
Ash Stevenson when we were leaving they were trying to start it but the transmission seemed to have been damaged, they weren’t able to put it in neutral so it wouldn’t start in gear.
THAT...Is one very, VERY expensive oops...But, on the flip side, at least the also expensive pump truck is recoverable with minimal damage, and the entire site and all their production isn't trashed. It could have been far more expensive. Major Mulligan definitely put in an appearance, either way.
We could have done the job with our trucks but the building contractor on site wanted to bring in cranes, they wanted the wrecker to hold it steady while they got their boom back in and put away so it didn’t try to roll again
Days without incident calendar O. Man the next day after zeroing a calendar that had almost a year with the new year being the only technical 0 is hell on a union contract crew both from a contract and industry standpoibt. My first week as an electrician saw a sub crew supply electric to the wrong house destroying 3 dried in spec houses and two pending inspection houses local union took a hit and the crew as contractors lost bids for several years later because of it. Safety 3rd means safety is the first three rules and in construction wether houses or high-rises it's what matters the most.
I do not the early ending either. A movie needs a beginning, a middle & an end. There is really no “The End”. A lot of your videos run too long and have no understandable ending. Maybe WE the CZcamsr watcher do not know who you’re target audience is?
The boom most likely isn't strong enough to lift the weight without bending and breaking. Another possibility is the cylinders for the boom aren't strong enough for anything over just moving the boom as anything stronger is a waste of money if you never need the power
Any guess on repairs needed to get the pump truck back working (big/small)? Thanks for the video. EDIT: I see you already answered my question in the comments. thanks again.
@@CountryEquipmentRentals Are you sure ? I've been through this pretty much frame by frame looking at the the side it has tipped and i can only see 1 stabilizer leg the rear 1 isn't even deployed
With how much then cranes lifted in weight in unknown. I can tell you the bigger crane is a Liebherr LTM1220-5.2 (275 us ton crane) and the smaller a 47 ton approximate 75 ton.
Alexis DeVille you’re back! I thought you had left. Glad you’re back! I’ll try to post something soon, we’ve been very busy with hiring new positions and implementing new programs for the company so I’ve had my hands full. I’ll try to post one soon! Glad you’re back!
Y YIII we wanted to do this entire job with just our rotator but the builders were very persistent about insisting that we use cranes. So we had no choice
Whenever I've seen these long reach concrete pump trucks in use, they have been next to some tall multistory building, and pumping concrete straight up. Probably not designed for reaching sideways like it was.
Very much designed to go from side to side. I drive a concrete mixer for a living and see a pump just about every day. These are very stable vehicles and can reach a very long distance. The problem comes when the ground gives way or the out riggers are not put down correctly most always operator error. But yes they are designed to go fully extended out either side and I have seen it hundreds of times.
Yeah good luck folding it up with hard set up concrete in the pipes, plus the hard concrete in that concrete truck you, why is in still there? Very expensive accident for sure
S.A.B but what you don’t know is the details. So we wanted to do the entire job with our rotator and so did the company that owned the pump truck. The issue is the property owner of the subdivision insisted it be done this way and he wasn’t going to do it any other way.
The guy who welded that pull tab on that boom. Is the hero of that job....... My hat's off to you, sir.
Makes me laugh when I think about how many times I've had to tell the customer that my crane was not a tow truck, I pick things up, I put them down, LOL
I'm a tower crane operator and I say that at least twice a week. " my crane is not a tow truck".

Love watching these videos, coming from a part owner of 4 of these type of boom pump trucks and a fleet of mixers in Alaska.
As bad as it was not near as bad as could have been. Missed the house, no damage to the truck, appears very little damage to the boom, no one hurt. Appears the discharge chute on the mixer truck was tore up some, probably some lost concrete in the mixer. Hopefully, they were able to keep it wet so they didn't lose a barrel. Expensive but very little damage.
I know the guy on the hose. It scared the shit out of him lol.
Awesome job Big thanks to all that helped. Thanks for sharing

Hope the mixer truck was empty. Otherwise that drum is toast!

That was a expensive day 😣
Yea, I wonder how much it cost to recover the concrete pumper?
@@normanbrunt2053$ 30k+?
@@normanbrunt2053 Two cranes on an emergency basis. That is not cheap.
Plus cleaning the concrete out the pump is going to be expensive.
i bet that operator will never fail to deploy his outriggers again
Bet that was fun to explain to the boss!!
Hey Boss ! Boy Did i have a Fucked UP DAY,!
The detail cop said I could park there!
The owner is a buddy of mine. It wasnt a good day. He dont like talking about it.
Great video
Andy B thanks!
That boom is so tall it needs a marker beacon!
Need some gopro's setup .love the Rotator it is awesome
tom flores I do now 👍🏻
It looked like they did not have the right rear outrigger deployed, or at least not all the way deployed. Those piles of plywood looked like they were in the way if it would have been out. As usual operator error.
The right rear outrigger wasnt put all the way so when he flat sticked out it collapsed and folded into its self.

Now that's one expensive slab!
So, I'm supposing it took one guy to tip it over and 20 to upright it.
That the fellas is a mess, and surprised it folded up
Is that machine Called a concrete boom pump
The crane picking the boom up is all they need to upright the truck.
charles johnston yeah that’s all we were going to do with our rotator but the contractors building these houses were very persistent and insisted that it be done this way.
Did it drive away on its own power? Or did it need to be towed?
Ash Stevenson when we were leaving they were trying to start it but the transmission seemed to have been damaged, they weren’t able to put it in neutral so it wouldn’t start in gear.
Those trucks are expensive, I’ve seen them new starting around $250,000 dollars.
We had a pump truck recently on our job. The operator said it cost $800,000

Was just wondering if you had two cranes why did you need the wrecker?
We could have done the job with our trucks but the building contractor on site wanted to bring in cranes, they wanted the wrecker to hold it steady while they got their boom back in and put away so it didn’t try to roll again
Understand. That pumper is quite expensive I'm sure

Do not like the way you end early!

Was it not possible to just remotely boom down the pump?
The boom most likely isn't strong enough to lift the weight without bending and breaking. Another possibility is the cylinders for the boom aren't strong enough for anything over just moving the boom as anything stronger is a waste of money if you never need the power
Lesson number 1 if you have four outriggers put them all out.
Any guess on repairs needed to get the pump truck back working (big/small)? Thanks for the video. EDIT: I see you already answered my question in the comments. thanks again.
Why did the operator only use 3 outriggers?
Did the driver really put the boom out to maximum with only 1 leg deployed that side ?
Matt Oates no the leg gave out
@@CountryEquipmentRentals Are you sure ? I've been through this pretty much frame by frame looking at the the side it has tipped and i can only see 1 stabilizer leg the rear 1 isn't even deployed
Matt Oates yeah they said the leg gave out due to the soft ground and retracted
@@CountryEquipmentRentals ok you were there I wasn't 🙂 so it all boils down to operator error just glad I'm not paying that recovery bill
i shudder to think of the cost of man hours and machines
So anyone figure out what causes this?
Concrete pumper in the air, something did go very wrong !!
Very simple, insufficient support under the outriggers.
what size cranes were they? how much weight was the lift crane pulling?
With how much then cranes lifted in weight in unknown. I can tell you the bigger crane is a Liebherr LTM1220-5.2 (275 us ton crane) and the smaller a 47 ton approximate 75 ton.
Where you been it has been a month since last video?

What subdivision did that happen at?
why not just torch the bolts out the first section of boom. the thing has to come off either way to get inspected and repaired
@John C they already stripped all the pipes off in the video
Expensive opps
Wanted to see the pump move out on it's power
0:54 There’s your problem.
Crane operator..... i don’t care how long this takes bc I’m making GREAT MONEY in over time right now!!!! $$$$$ cha Ching!!!
There are other videos of concrete pumper trucks being up righted without a crane.
Y YIII we wanted to do this entire job with just our rotator but the builders were very persistent about insisting that we use cranes. So we had no choice
need a good drone
M100 would have got it done if you could get it there without running out of gas lol.

They're made to flat stick like that. The right rear outrigger collapsed and sucked in so... gravity
Yeah good luck folding it up with hard set up concrete in the pipes, plus the hard concrete in that concrete truck you, why is in still there? Very expensive accident for sure
They pulled the pipes of the pump. That's my companies truck. I cant remember if we replaced the drum or if they chipped it out.
@@garywderock .. I watched Mythbusters, I saw how they got the concrete out.
@@silentepsilon888 you're an idiot
Welder could have cut the boom off truck would have went rite down
Janet Houck true that would be scrap metal anyway after a fall like that
Yep one guy one service truck cut the boom off drive the truck away but it would have been darn hard to do with out getting hurt
The three owners can fix anything. The last I heard, the damage is minimal.
Away over KILL !! 2 cranes & ur truck..
Come on,, waste of time & money.

I'm 7months late on this but who pays for the 2cranes, your truck? Insurance company, construction company? Just asking.
