hey lardy, thought it was one of yours at first, who would be the dickhead to set the slowcrete up like that, he's lucky it pulled up, betch ya the boom dont fold up like it use to, merry christmas big fella.

stupid dick has probally worked out what the trays above the boxes and diffs are for now, he needs bitch slapping, softwood under the load side and i bet my left nut the back leg aint all the way out.

not one of ours a local concretor brought his own pump and put a line pump operator on it,just lucky no one was hurt the pump was only a month old got to hate that.were u now boyde hope your staying out of trouble merry christmas back at you.....

He had the outrigger on the concrete drain with soft wood across the grate the concrete just crumbled as it would.

darwin man darwin, it's a drinking man's climate up here, you would fit in, hic.

yeah i see that, he might of just well set up on the formwork, i gather by the plate that must be down newcastle way, you still working out of daryls yard, i hear its slow down that way for some.

ive got all the mobils back at newcastle to slow up north and the rates are crap, were just about to start the gold coast hospital in jan with 8x39m spb on it as well as a job in south port with 2 booms on it so that should keep us busy for the next 12months

8 satellites hey, those outrigger boys will be hunting you guys, good luck to ya, kick that other cocks arse as well

brad, if your looking for men when that all kicks off give sideshow bob a call, i think he is getting itchy feet.

Wow,a great example of what not to do.The outcome,no injuries and unit looks ok.Thanks for the reminder,training,school of hard knocks.

just stupid....thats all I have to say

Pumpcon,how did you get these pictures?

I got the pictures off the site i went down there the next day and finished the job with one of my pumps.

hey mate sweet pxt sounds like you are doing a bit down there,i am down at sydney at the moment. get some more pxt of your rigs up. hey got any pxt of the boom on the ground.

hey many not a good answer to a pump tipping over, rig looks good, so that means everything is good. as long as that front bumper is not scratch the boom will be straight ready to go over guys heads tomorro.

An excellent response,nobody hurt and perhaps a lesson learned.If just one soul learns (besides operator) it has served it's duty.Now my question

Should a pump be reinspected after an incident such as this? They do it on cranes,yes they do.Would this not be a good requirment?

i say yes, with the impact of what the boom would of made hitting the ground yes it should.

To answear Many's question "Should a pump be reinspected after an incident such as this?"

Answear:Yes it should be inspected,specially the right hand side of the truck and all of the boom if it hit the ground. Which my guess it did.

On a personal note this accident was %100 preventable But I would be hard pressed not to laugh at the operator had I personally witnessed this . Glad to hear no one was injured , that made it just that much more funny to me . Haha

Anyone that would put a outrigger on a box culvert knowingly has no business operating a concrete boom truck, it seems as this industry comes back up maybe we should look at a few educational tools that other industries such as cranes do, proper dunnage techniques , there are such programs that should be looked at before certification , just knowing the concrete pump isnt enough as professionals we have to know many things and not putting a outrigger on such things as box culverts has to be one of them.

well said Pudg,from what I can gather the "big boys" in pumping have faught hard to prevent boom pumps from being classified as cranes  due to operating costs.And when times are lean like they are now no one will budge when it come to more expense for safety and training .

 What Im wondering is why he sisnt move forward or back. Seemed to have plenty of room in either direction. Though I might be a bit dense.

They moved the precast sump under the outrigger to get more height(you can still see the pallet under the sump) instead of using proper dunage.The boom stayed pretty straight for a jun jin.The boom got a full inspection from jun jin before it went back to work.

hey pumpcon, who looked at it slowcrete or jun jin.
