I read on another website that the green one at the end had been photoshopped in, and it didn’t actually fall.

It is actually a problem of physics.
The lifting capacity of the crane is a major factor, but the position from which the item to be lifted is another.
Mobile cranes are generally designed to lift items which are around the same level, or higher than the crane itself.
When the item to be lifted is positioned lower than the crane itself, then additional measures need to be taken to account for the additional forces and moment that would occur.
Size is not everything – using one’s brains is much more important! ;-)

I think the last one is Photoshopped too ..
the Size of the crane is miraculously reduced and the arms are also not shown…
Mobile cranes can also lift objects that are lower than the bed when the arm are out and locked. gives a 3 point support required.

Wow, that’s just too silly. You have to wonder what the owner of the crane company thought about this whole incident.

It looks to be palfinger Hi-ab cranes, most of which “lock out” with an alarm sounding if it is lifting too much weight. I use one for removing 10 metre concrete lamp posts, and even with that alarm sounding there are ways to still move the object (tele boom in slightly, slew object then continue to lift) but using human sight you can see the vehicle tilt – at which point you STOP. lol

Im betting that if the alarm was sounding here, it was ignored… if it didnt sound then the visual checks to the vehicle were ignored. I mean look at that back end of the orange hi-ab. Mental.

In my honest opinion, lifting something thats double the hight BELOW my vehicle is stupid and a mobile crane should be used. (not a vehicle mounted crane)
