P&H “Omega” mechanical failure


A 7,000 pound load was on the hook and the chart capacity was 13,000 pounds.

The crane was a bare rent unit from the local dealer and had been overloaded on previous occasions.

An identical crane on the site was immediately inspected and no damage was evident until a testing lab was brought in. Lab tests revealed the second crane was ready to fail in the same manner.
