That is such an awesome service truck!! I remember the video when you and your dad found that thing. That is such a great find. I found an old Altec pole drilling and setting rig but I have no idea what the guys who have it might want. It has been there so long that the one outrigger is extended and into the ground almost two feet. I do not think it is going anywhere soon . The crane dwarfs any crane I have seen on any service truck odf its size. It has a beautiful 12V Cummins under the hood though.
When hired to move other peoples property their property is top priority. You first looked for damage of your property glad no harm done to either. The old saying responsibility pays always has always will. when someone puts responsibility in your hands they always put cash there also.
Co-worker did this a year ago and dropped a 10ft tall 1+ ton weldment about two feet onto the floor. It blew out the clip on the hook. Didn't damage anything else or anyone, but made a hell of a bang and was a little embarrassing for him. 1 piece of rigging goes in a hook. If you need multiple angles coming off your lift point, that's what a bow shackle is for.
Your chains were to short running up to the hook. It popped the safety latch at the hook which was under tension from the chain. Watch it in slow motion. I've made this mistake myself. The angle that the chain was at puts pressure on the safety latch instead of in the cradle of the hook.
you should drain the air out of your tanks on that truck everytime you run it to evacuate oil and or water, to keep your air tanks from rusting through (that is if its equipped so ) especially with all the humid air down there in FLA , an air dryer for the brake system would be a good addition also .
That'll make the ole butthole pucker up in a hurry. That was about the best place for that to happen. When shit like that happens at our shop we say "I meant for it to do that". hahaha
That's scary shit! I'm a millwright at a paper mill and my crew just had a boom and forks fall off of a forklift! Thankfully know one got injured. It was all on camera too. The company was head hunting trying to find something / someone to blame. They had experts come in and they determined that it was the side shift on it that failed. The forklift was not being operated at the time it happened. There was a man on it too. Scary shit!
I'm glad it was solid on the truck before it turned loose on ya man. It would have sucked to see it go inverted and hit the ground. I welded a piece of 5 x 3/8 inch flat bar sticking strait up in between the motor and the pump on a twin tank wheel barrow compressor once with a lifting eye cut in the top well above everything. Not sure if you have room for it or even want to fool with it but it sure is handy when your trying to get loaded and get gone to have one simple hookup.
You did the job exactly how i would mate! Smash it into position with whatever lifting equipment you can find (I even use ratchet straps sometimes). Then get straight down to the pub before happy hour.
That locking flipper thing on your lifting hook is not cutting it. Get a real heavy-duty hook with a positive locking closure bail on it. Before something bad happens. Your rigging was mostly on point though. That compressor is so top-heavy you’re lucky it didn’t tip over. Stay safe!👍
Anthony , you could see the clip on the hook failed to keep the chain in the hook...is it bent or too short? .I always thought those hook keepers were not needed and a pain, now I know why they are there.....looks like it is on outside of the hood......glad you and the compressor made it out ok.....Paul
If you had a proper tag line rigged up you could have worked that with your remote unit from a safer location, next to the house and not near the boom…. Any failure of that little truck crane would kill or maim you. Plus, as others have mentioned, get some soft slings and shackles.
The load wasn't centered and the chain slipped past the mouse. A shackle would have prevented this, in this case. But this was not the proper way to rig that. Glad you weren't hurt. Keep the vids coming.
A proper bridle setup can help prevent that, I have a some 2-leg and 4-leg bridles and then a long single leg "beater" chain for pulling tracks etc, not trying to be critical just some advice. As an HD mechanic I use my crane almost daily and "proper" rigging is all that's allowed on some sites, of course I'm guilty of the quick and dirty as much as the next guy.
When you don't want a load to come unhooked, try this . They make hooks with a spring loaded bar to close the gap. If you don't want that expense. You can drill a hole at the tip 1/8" and close the gap with tie wire. The kind used to tie rebar on construction jobs
His hook already has a safety latch, also, drilling into a lifting hook and using tie wire is a huge no in the professional world, that would get you kicked out of a lot of sites
I think you should call a welder.. damn damn damn started writing this freaking smart-ass comment before I finished the video ! . son of a bitch .well it is pretty cool to see a fellow (seemingly) native Floridian who is starting to get a lot of views on videos and doing something he loves think it's f****** awesome. And yes this was done in a New York accent if you can imagine it... even though I'm from Florida.(having epiphany and coming to a realization about my life..): Keep up the good work
Why it’s great idea to have locking d shackles. Any force multiple accident can be disastrous. Papa always used 2 say 2 ways to learn, screw it up or learn from someone who screwed it up before you.
Hey Anthony, that big truck seems really expensive to run and actually use on a jobsite. Do you actually tend to use it or does it sit idle most of the time?
Little over spread for the length of the chains. Try and keep your hands off the load, if something is going to fall you want more than an arms length away from it.
those stupid compressors never have any way to lift them even on forklifts they tend to be top heavyand want to fall over , you would think the manuf would figure some way for a lifting eye so you dont crush the fuel tank or pump been down this road also
Shit like that is not sketchy.its what happens when your clueless of your tools.this is a adolescent playing with his tonka trucks in his back yard.if any injury comes from this it's well deserved.if you hire the clown you get the whole circus.
Your stare at the camera was priceless, glad you're ok

Nice to see an update on the truck. 👍🏻
Anthony, sorry for your mishap! Good to see the big “Desert Storm” service truck crane in action! That truck is so bad ass!
Now you learned why slings are a must have and shackles.
And use lifting chains, not tie down chains. Big difference!
I learned the hard way too with a couple near misses. Slings and shackles ONLY when lifting.
The chains didn’t fail …. The one side pulled off the hook
@@tjlovesrachel slings are less likely to slip off. Right tool, right job.

That trucks a beast and love the Crain if I had that I would be playing with it all day 😂good to see it in use can’t wait to see more of the truck 👍
Awesome great to see it in use 😀 👍🏿
Use a shackle on the main line block when using multiple hook point's . It won't hop out of the hook that way .
Keep up the great work !
Man I just about pissed myself when you stared at the camera 😂
iam surprised you don't have straps and shackles 😮
The other thing I would change is the angle of the chains. Lengthen the chains 2 or 3 feet on both sides of the compressor.
Or just a positive locking safety latch on the hook.
Great videos. Your channel is gonna blow up big time
thank you, I was feeling a little down today. that helps

yes if he were to use a shackle at the top and grab both chains then that will not happen, as a shackle cant point load the crank hook and jump off
@@austinkissling9036 absolutely 💯!
I hope you get the title and rego stuff sorted soon. Can't wait to see this beast out on a job moving things with the crane!
Working on it!
Next time put a shackle hold it all together bro
Ya that was definitely what I should’ve done 🤷♂️
@@MeltinMetalAnthony safer then me gouging a customer's broking shank last night in the rain lmao 🤣

Yeah,I forgot about doing that on trucks.
This comment should be pinned
2:30 - safety meeting! lol Lot of great info in comments, I learned some things too.

I watched it a few times to see what happened. It was all good until, like you said, you bumped the truck. No harm no fowl! Great stuff Meltin’ Metal!

Damn lol! Glad you're ok man
We do it right, because we do it twice!!! Good vijeao..broski!!!
The tan truck is a straight up BATTLE WAGON! Super cool man!
Your truck is gorgeous
When are you going to montana?
Nice Crane Truck !
You did the job exactly how i would mate!

Thanks Paul! I really should’ve used a clevis. I was being lazy and did t swap it out
Be loving that truck

You should do more videos of dropping expensive stuff onto expensive stuff.
Sweet medium duty cummins 🤙🏼
The load wasn't centered and the chain slipped past the mouse. A shackle would have prevented this, in this case. But this was not the proper way to rig that. Glad you weren't hurt. Keep the vids coming.
💯 my mistake.
The profile picture is so sickkkk
Well that works!
I didn’t know that happened in the backyard I would’ve came out and helped yeah good job honey❤️
Don’t stand under suspended loads !🙏🏼
MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼
That's an official pants pooping moment for sure!
Holy cow !
Dam that was a close one Tony 😢
Not guna lie, I knew it was coming, but still shit a bit when that chain let loose. Lucky af dude!
whooo good thing that didn't roll over and come after you lol.
Wow that could of been way worse glad you are okay and nothing major happened

Here in Canada this fix would get you kicked off a job site right quick.

Watching that block swing towards your rear cab window made me nervous. Expanded metal perhaps?
Nice socks! 😅👍
Bro.. lucky!
I got the same crane on my 1989 f450

On bcbloc02 channel I seen Brian drop huge maybe 5 ton radial drill press from his 20 ton chain hoist. I believe a cable failed,.
Nothing failed….. except the method of rigging
Why it’s great idea to have locking d shackles. Any force multiple accident can be disastrous. Papa always used 2 say 2 ways to learn, screw it up or learn from someone who screwed it up before you.
What ever became of this truck? I don't recall ever seeing again
Hey Anthony, that big truck seems really expensive to run and actually use on a jobsite. Do you actually tend to use it or does it sit idle most of the time?
Haven’t ran it yet. Have had a bunch of title and Reggie issues. But I didn’t wanna complain about it here lol
@@MeltinMetalAnthony damn that's a shame. i bet you can't wait to take it out on jobs.
@@MeltinMetalAnthony I'll bet you still have licensure issues with it.
auction life lol
You got lucky with that. But lesson learned.
Glad nothing got dented but I’m not surprised. You’re always saying not to buy cheap tools and it payed off.
No change of pants required? Amazing.
the chain was clearly a paid actor
Little over spread for the length of the chains. Try and keep your hands off the load, if something is going to fall you want more than an arms length away from it.
Part of rigging is learning.
Bet that doesn't happen again.
I have zero use for something like this but holy shoot do I want one.
fuck chain, get some lifting straps, they are so much more versatile. They also slip less than chain, since its not steel on steel.
It is not the chains fault. It is the rigger. Straps rigged the same way would have the same result. Need a shackle.
How was it not gonna fall with all that up and down jarring
I did that… but I had a log in lifting tongs. Underneath was a new Tacoma ….
😎👍
Why would you not use a shackle to hold the chains together. A lift like you did is just asking for a spread hook.
Rigging 101. Your angle was way to flat and the chain slipped out of the hook. Get your OSHA 30.
Whut can go Rong will go Rong
It's not crazy that your truck is holding air still from the other day. You should expect it to be just about where it was when you shut it down yet.
Do you use kratom for any pain you ever have?
those stupid compressors never have any way to lift them even on forklifts they tend to be top heavyand want to fall over , you would think the manuf would figure some way for a lifting eye so you dont crush the fuel tank or pump been down this road also
Next time use a shackle
Not being critical, not critiquing, not hating....but please get those work boots on bro👊🏻
An easy mistake to make. No injuries and no damage so lesson learned for another lift on another day. Take care young man!
Hack.
It don’t have to happen do it right
Could have been worse, could have been on your toe 😁
Too much angle….not enough dangle
Shit like that is not sketchy.its what happens when your clueless of your tools.this is a adolescent playing with his tonka trucks in his back yard.if any injury comes from this it's well deserved.if you hire the clown you get the whole circus.
your mom isn't clueless of my tool
I like your videos but your rigging skills need some work
