I was thinking the same thing, that last picture has to be bogus.
Cranes have two different ratings of capacity, tipping and structural. This guy in the big crane was picking over the side on outriggers so the tipping capacity would be reached before the structural capacity of the boom, probably the outriggers depending on the design. By the looks of it his load side outriggers are still sound so if this crane was overloaded enough to tip it would have flipped and landed on it's side, it would not slide 30 feet or so to end up in the water. If it flipped and then slid, the condition of the crane and boom and outriggers would be much different. |
