As for  the crane he had the outboard outrigger down but it looks like he
only had  the right side down and not down solid either.
Might have been better off  to roll the deck back and drop it to  the
ground.



,This picture has intrigued me for way too long.   Hindsight  is 20-20, but 
if I was working with the original truck, I would have worked with  the boom 
over the cab.  that is where you would get the maximum lifting  moment, and the 
maximum reach.  A lot of operators are reluctant to work  with the boom over 
the cab, but it just takes a little attention to  detail...   That car he is 
trying to lift shouldnt weigh more than  about 3200lbs.......  Oh well, we could 
rn this into the ground with what  if, but it is a great lesson.....
 
Thanks whoever sent it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
