We have often reported on cases where crane or platform operators have forgotten to stow their booms correctly, resulting in bridge bashing or ripping overhead lines out, but we have been sent an example from Norway that might establish a new record. 

The operator of a concrete pump appears to have set off along highway 15 between Tennebø and Måløy to the north of Bergen, without making any attempt to stow the boom. 

How the vehicle remained stable is a mystery, but it did and it took out some overhead power lines on the way before police managed to stop the vehicle. We understand that the incident occurred early last week. Definite Death Wish

Is this for real? Must be a helluva truck.

Looks like a Pumi articles i see it a common practice for these guys to move around like that on the jobsite lol wow maybe the mixer makes it a little stable?

I DONT SEE A PROBLEM WITH THAT ! HECK I BET HE SAVES AT LEAST 10 MINUTES ON SET UP TIME

Must be air sespension that kept him up. I know this story to. I see the pic on the walls at all the factorys round here. They realy say it for real!!

Bet the mixer had a hard time keeping up.

It boggles my mind to think that an operator would leave the jobsite with the boom up. I could never get away with it with my 36 Z I'm pretty sure it would tip over before I got ten feet. Just freaking amazing that he got that far.
