Utah Bob #35998 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Today I learnt all about heavy lifting cranes as I watched a crew working to put up a horizontal jig tower crane about a block away. I imagine they have a great view of any potential riots brewing. The tower grew slowly into view section by section from beyond the neighboring parking garage. I reckon they won’t get refinished till tomorrow. Should be an interesting lightning rod for the next thunderstorm. Good thing they weren’t up there yesterday. All in all not as interesting as watching a herd of elk or a sunset but I’ll take what I can git. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas Lizard Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 I look at those things and wonder about the men run them....Nerves of steel and some brass ones to work that high off the ground in a box...Balanced by something behind and in front of you....And the small base under you...

Texas Lizard You think running it is tough, you oughta see the nuts climbing around like monkeys putting it together! My wife asked, “How’d they get up there. Is there an elevator? “ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas Lizard At first I thought you were in Las Vegas. The state bird there is the crane. It was funnier before I said it out loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
