Impact's "Things Done at Work"
May 15th I went into the office after being gone on vaca..err a business trip. They handed me a stack of bills, papers etc that needed my attention. I gave the stack to my partner to handle and told him I quit. I retired. It was 2 days before my 66th birthday. So far I’ve done some maintence... -

What's it weigh??
Not knocking what you did in the least. I’ve overloaded every rig I own multiple times. Especially the boom trucks and small truck cranes. The AT cranes concern me a bit more when overloading them because I never see the rig get light on the outriggers (tipping). Almost always a structural... -

Want to start a crane rental business, but not really sure.
I just bought a new 65 ton Liebherr LTM-1055. Paid $750k for it. I took it on it’s first job. 4 hour minimum for $225 per hour. Somehow the cable got off a pulley and wedged between them ruining it. $3,000! -

Impact's "Things Done at Work"
We had a crane job lifting trusses Thursday. All our other operators were busy so it was up to me. Thought I’d break in the new crane. Was backing it down the drive and it alarmed. All 5 steering modes were flashing green. It went into a limp mode only driving 20 mph. Shut it down to let it... -

Impact's "Things Done at Work"
The first 1055 is a couple years old. Everyone seems to love it. It stays so busy I can never use it on my work. I’ll probably sell the Grove TMS700 as it’s starting to show her age. Who knows, I may just keep it too -

Impact's "Things Done at Work"
I traded airplanes and took possession of her yesterday. Haven't flown in 3 weeks. Bought the same plane I had just newer with fewer hours. Everything felt totally different. I made the god awfulest landing since the beginning of my training. It was embarrassing. -

Impact's "Things Done at Work"
I had two projects this year due to the tornado. One is a grain company with a total of 5 million of storage. They have emptied the product from the tanks. We did just enough work to get unloading equipment operating. No rebuilding this season. They are still dickering with insurance. The... -

Impact's "Things Done at Work"
Now we have more questions about cranes. Particularly, Impact’s 100T crane. Is it considered a twenty part line when using a ten shive pulley? Yes What’s the total length of the main cable wound on the winch? Differs between cranes but I'd start with 750' or so What determines the size of the... -

Impact's "Things Done at Work"
Brand new 2022 Liebherr LTM-1055. Just like the other one. It's coming across the great waters as I type this. Expect the ship to dock in Savannah port 7-17.
