I sometimes have jobs like these. Something very easy to do with a crane.
This job did not even require a crane, I could do it with a 15k forklift. It was to unload six generators from a semi truck and place them on the ground.
However, some instruction somewhere said to use a crane to unload those, so I said, yes, I can use a crane but you pay extra because it is a crane. They said OK.
But what I do in these cases is brace the outriggers and do not even unload or untie the crane from the truck. Saves a lot of time unloading the crane from the truck.
I wonder if it is somehow a bad idea and if anyone else does this.
