A Little Wisdom Helps You Become Smarter !

In the video, a worker is securing the massive main hook of a 180-ton mobile crane to the truck's front anchor points before road travel. This is a critical safety procedure to prevent the heavy hook from swinging dangerously during transport, which could damage the crane or cause a traffic accident. He uses the momentum from a controlled swing to connect the sling. This method requires precise timing. A safer and easier technique would be to use a tag line to guide the hook, or to have a second operator gently maneuver the crane's winch to position the hook directly for connection, minimizing physical effort and risk. Proper securing ensures safe and stable transportation of the equipment.
