A guy that only spoke spanish was on it; he wasn't hurt, but I never heard spanish spoken so fast. 6:10 in the am, when he went down the incline-turn into your slide, like driving on ice, or a power-slide steer into the slide. not

They are excellent machines, but all the subcontractors allow idiots on them, then everybody around is in danger.

Yep, see the forks on closer look. They use them extensively at the plant I'm working at. Putting up a Scrubber. Darn things are everywhere doing near everything. But from what I can see, the operators know there stuff. Even have a couple female operators driving them....

I used to work for Pulte homes (housing bust put me out of work), but as an ex crane operator, when heavy lifts needed to be down up to the 4th floor, I got the call on the nextell, and sweated alot during the lift. If the people unloading it were rookies, that machine would get real squirrelly, and try to turn over.

I noticed some of the machines got outriggers on them. They make high lifts and the riggers come out. Seems to make them real stable. What really amazes me is the height to which a JLG can get with no stablization. I've seen iron workers go maybe 60ft? or more? to get to the iron. That's a lot of boom out there with two guys in the bucket.

yep, and everytime they move, it feels like the machine is going to tip over
