Crane overturns in Florida

An operator was injured yesterday after his crane overturned, while lifting a shipping container from a truck outside a school in Bradenton, Florida.

According to local reports those on the scene said that the overturn was most likely caused by the container’s contents moving, causing a weight shift which proved too much for the crane. The three axle truck crane appears to have been properly set up, at least in terms of its outriggers.
