Not everything done with a wrecking crane involves twisted up mangled stuff, this is a 65 ton bridge
installed at Salmon Arm B.C. 2002, I am sure all derrick or crane operators would ask " why the heck is it so
high ? " Allow me to explain, I did the engineering for the lift, firstly in a wrecking crane, the fewer clutches
you have to engage - disengage the better , I then loaded the bridge onto the flatcar at the exact radius
out from the crane it would be when it is lowered only on the boom into place , so after I make the pick off
the flatcar, I simply boom up to max,17' 6" rotate around and boom down Viola !! done , sometimes I even
surprise myself ! Ed
