The crane was lifting a bundle of wood when it went over

The crane which belongs to Evertz Kraanverhuur of Tilburg – EKV Tilburg – was lifting a bundle of wood when it went over. EKV sent in two other cranes to recover the fallen machine. All went well with only minor damage and no injuries reported. The operator said that the load was relatively light, however it must have gone out beyond the radius at which it could handle it.

Two cranes carry out the rescue, one to support the rear when it rights itself and one to upright it by lifting on the boom nose
