Cranes That Should Have Used a Spotter to Lift
There are some everyday jobs, and when it comes to cranes, a mistake can be very costly. In these photos, we see enormous cranes attempting to move very heavy loads, overconfident operators, and a complete lack of compliance with safety regulations.
The photos below show an overturned crane, a destroyed structure, or a crane sunk in the mud. Many of these images reveal overconfidence on the part of workers and a disregard for safety regulations when performing certain maneuvers.
These images are lessons that, no matter how experienced you are, a bad decision and miscalculation can ruin everything and cause an accident.
