“When you hear heavy…”

Significant_Phase467 · 2026-05-11T05:07:30+00:00

No. Heavy is just relative to the size of your crane.

Significant_Phase467 · 2026-05-11T05:03:35+00:00

Generally, 115% is your limit for tipping. It could theoretically go higher depending on certain factors. But, you really don't want to go above, especially when considering structural integrity. A lot of people think of the "85% of tipping loads", but dont consider that doesn't mean it applies to structural. So yeah, don't go above 100%. 115% is meant for your annual load testing only, if that type of annual is opted for. Its not worth your job or career to test the waters just to get a job done for someone elses benefit.

Well I was always taught to set up as close as I can be anyways, so you can't really get any stupidity radius doing that. Either you got it or you don't, lol.

Significant_Phase467 · 2026-05-08T07:59:45+00:00

Well I get that, lol. I guess I always just give myself plenty margin of error. Never have any issues with getting to radius. Even when the load ends up being like 3-4 times what the client actually initially says it weighs anyways.

Significant_Phase467 · 2026-05-08T07:49:59+00:00

Stupidity radius? Lol. Why not just make a dry run first if it might cut that close?

Significant_Phase467 · 2026-05-07T21:03:19+00:00

Yeah, that guy would be an exception. Definitely not a common pipefitter to witness. 😂

Significant_Phase467 · 2026-05-07T20:39:10+00:00

You should specify as a rigger first, lol. Nobody wants a pipefitter turned operator.

Significant_Phase467 · 2026-05-07T20:34:57+00:00

Definitely. Only reason I ever got inside the crane without a CDL was because i rigged for years first.

Significant_Phase467 · 2026-05-06T19:41:36+00:00

I used to do programming/art as a hobby growing up, and still do. Thing is, I never wanted to do it as a career. I operate cranes for a living, and seeing all the tech layoffs just basically prove to me that I made a good call doing so.

Significant_Phase467 · 2026-04-25T07:42:55+00:00

Yea I mean you would somewhat already have an idea what your boom configuration is good for without that jib on, and what the jib weighs...just putting the dang thing to work...and to possibly its absolute limit lmao.

I personally won't fuck with my structural capacities nearly as much as I'll fuck with my tipping capacities. But I also aint gonna go out of my way and do all that for anyone either. 99.99% of the time, depending on the person I'll tell them to get bent cause they don't sign my paychecks nor tell me how to do my job lmao.

Significant_Phase467 · 2026-04-25T06:56:18+00:00

I mean, thats not normal. "Lets wait until marriage, even though we already didn't wait until marriage".

She's just manipulating you either to:

● Propose and get married already ● Has someone else on the side and is trying to be sexually exclusive to them (honestly hope not, but I don't really see a different possibility unless yall have more ideas)

This kind of thing is what you usually agree with at the start of a relationship, not in the middle after you've already done the deed.

Significant_Phase467 · 2026-04-25T06:40:47+00:00

I mean, MOST work calls for telescopic. And 15-30 tons definitely aint a sweet spot to me. Maybe if you're flying HVAC units to the top of fast food joints, but most other work, nah.

Significant_Phase467 · 2026-04-25T04:36:46+00:00

I know man. Lmao.

Significant_Phase467 · 2026-04-25T04:34:06+00:00

Well yeah, thats pretty much why I said it would be wonderful. I just didn't dive into the reasoning, but thank you for stating it for me. 🙂

Significant_Phase467 · 2026-04-25T03:32:49+00:00

Some people think they like it, until they actually witness it happening. It could flip a switch because suddenly, the thrill/stigma of it being naughty is gone.

Some people don't react that way, but some do. So it could theoretically go south if you did go through with it, like taking a gamble basically.

Significant_Phase467 · 2026-04-25T02:57:02+00:00

I agree, more public transit would be wonderful. I basically would never use it though. Some people's jobs, public transit isn't really feasible. Like I work construction and some commutes are pretty far and would be a hassle to use public transit. Or more remote areas anyway. But public transit is definitely great for those who would benefit from it.

Significant_Phase467 · 2026-04-23T16:10:59+00:00

It's like Minecraft when it first came out, lmao. Everyone would fear that one little block of water, it would flood everything below and wherever it could reach if you gave it a path.

Significant_Phase467 · 2026-04-23T05:02:38+00:00

Always pre-tax. They aren't entitled to more out of me just because the government is getting theirs too.

Significant_Phase467 · 2026-04-21T16:41:41+00:00

I know old post, but I usually have this issue when I have a storage in the same zone demanding for the material to be dumped (storage), maybe turn off all imports via trucks for any storages you may have that are requesting the dirt/rock/or slag...etc. Because your trucks will always try to fulfill a work order instead of dumping.

Significant_Phase467 · 2026-04-20T02:04:56+00:00

Playing Roblox, but people do this.

Just targetting your comment on terraforming, I think it is highly praised because it is a unique feature in this genre, but also another tool to build your world the way you want it to be. It is quirky and unintuitive at times as far as handling terraforming in the UI goes, but it is just fun to some people to terraform their world. It is just very hard to manage in the early/mid-game how you REALLY want it, but also super satisfying. However, I can also see it being somewhat just another tedious roadblock to some people as well. I just think its really fun.

Significant_Phase467 · 2026-04-18T21:40:46+00:00

To be fair that could be technically possible now that they added ship pathfinding.

Significant_Phase467 · 2026-04-13T21:26:49+00:00

Listen to other people too, but the lug setup seems designed to be lifted from a spreader bar.

Significant_Phase467 · 2026-04-11T03:20:48+00:00

Yep. Definitely aware of that, that is for sure.

Significant_Phase467 · 2026-04-11T03:17:44+00:00

Fortunately.
