.. on September
19th 2006 a Rigging Crew from Allied Crane and Rigging (
Naples FL ) moved two Cranes into our Parking Lot at Legacy
Harbour Marina .. I have been in construction all my life
but I have never seen the erection of a Jib Crane like this
one sooooo I was interested watching each step of the
Riggers ..
September 20th .. the task for the
day was to set up the 140 Ton Jib Lorain Crane for use on
the Construction of the Condos that are going up next to our
Marina .. shortly after the rigging started it was
discovered that the Main Cable for the Lorain had to be
replaced .. apparently when it was installed wrong causing
abnormal wear to the Cable ..

.. with the new
Cable installed the Rigging Crew was ready to complete the
erection of a Jib Crane .. wellllll the Cable was just the
first indication that today was not going to be a 'normal'
day .. |
