I had a couple of pics sent to me last week but not sure if I should post them. I will only post them if Todd is ok with it. Otherwise people will think I am bashing another company. But I see them as a learning tool.

This is a good learning experiance for those that do not believe in proper cribbing.

Not picking on any company or operator in particular.

I am no boom operator, but I think I would have set up completly in the street, and still cribbed.  And nice work treading that boom through that little hole.

I was not aloud to block the street and I also would have needed more boom. I was flat out and 10' short of reaching the whole slab. But normally I try to stay in street.

I did not even relize you were in the street.  I was reffering to the half tiped over boom about being in the street

I bet its tricking getting that rig back on the ground.

It sure doesn't look like any riggers sunk.  But it does look shorted on the back.

I'd say the right rear sunk.. You can see all the broken wood stikking up. At least he gave it some efford but the wood was to weak and snapped.. But was it you Pink Panter? Your last comment makes it sound like that??

being ran one of those for a couple years I'm with dipstick I think it sunk enough to tip, lucky that rear outrigger didnt close more.

Biged it's really not that bad that one looks easy, strap on rear outrigger with a crane or trackhoe and just put tension on it and boom up the pump and it will sit back down

Wish I could see the front outrigger actually looks like it went down also

Yes.. Bit stange that the name is alowed this time. But Hey.. Anybody with a bit sence knows that this was a pure operator error.. Not an error from the company. And that operator could be working for the competetor tommorow so it doesn't mean anything in my opinion.. The company is a victim to in this situation.

Back in the day, u were the bomb with a 28 meter. You could fold up and put the outriggers in at the same time!!

First of all, that tipped pump is not mine. It is an operator that I used to work with. As far as the comment from south texas..... there is no bashing other companies or operators. The operator for that pump is actually a good operator. He just made a mistake and hopefully others will learn from it. Kind of like the pictures of one of your pumps that fell on a house. Nobody was bashing the company then. It was posted on the site so that others can learn things. If you look up the page, I said I would post the pics if Todd was fine with it. He said to go ahead and do it. If he thought it would be an issue, he would delete it. Obviously it is not a problem.
