I honestly expected a gym workout plan but then I remembered this is Ricky we're talking about. Only lifting he does is the beer bottle curl and the shot glass slam.
With a block and tackle you can be surprised o how much you can lift by yourself. Sure, it’ll take you forever to lift the object with all that rope pulling. But, how else did those sailors from the 1700’s got their heavy cargo onto their ships?
@@jeremiahwallace2275 with a good block and tackle, and a place to hang it, I can lift the entire country of Canada up. One handed no less. It just might take me a decade to lift it more than a foot though.
I spent most of my career in a P&H Omega moving rigs operating with 2. outriggers off the ground doing 100 ton work with a 65 ton crane. I feel ya Ricky !!.
Ricky MUST be the son of Monte, an ex-bossman (now retired lazy-A). Yup, no math, overweight, ropes and chains, squealy gears...ahhh 1975 memories of building in Seattle!
In 1975 the operator actually told the machine what to do. Now the operator asks the computer to tell the machine what to do. If it refuses you you call the supervisor to bring the override key. (they didn't trust us peons with it) 😢🤔🤓🍻
When I worked concrete in high school, I was at a job site where there was a barrel of re-enforcement spikes needed to get moved off a truck and to where we were setting forms. The contractor asked me to move it with kind of snicker. I knew it weighed 300 to 400 lbs so he probably thought I couldnt do it but I was a farm boy like okay and and in one trip I bear hugged the barrel off the truck and walked it to where he wanted it and set it down. My foreman came over and chewed me out because I wasnt suppose to lift anything that heavy. After I started my next task I saw the foreman and contractor looking the barrel and one of them bent down to try to pick it up and give up right away.
Hands down I can relate to this situation by first-hand experience. In my time working as a health and safety advisor for shell it happend twice. Let me tell you when the plant manager came over to inspect the job site, let me put it this way he wasn't happy and we kinda had the same discussion. Oh the good old days 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Reminds me of when I was rodbusting for a bit. The scissor lift won’t go higher up the wall because it’s “unleveled”? Grab the sides and start rocking it back and forth till the sensor is so confused it shuts down and you then raise the lift more till the sensor kicks back in. Rinse repeat.
Math by Ricky: 18 feet, 180 feet... 200 pounds, 2000 pounds... in both cases we have added a zero, which is nothing, so Ricky is correct when he believes there is no problem.
"Well? It hasn't happened YET."....my Dad, about almost ANYTHING he was not doing per normal protocol. A truly wise man...or maybe not. I'm not not really sure. 😁😏
Wow a safety man W that is rare. In all seriousness if someone did that on a construction crew its not a question of if hes fired its if hes charged with a crime.
“You pay me for my results not for my methods!” Unknown I was asked once how we got 3 pallets of beer loaded into 2 trucks and a van without a forklift: I retorted with, you should be asking how we haven’t blown the suspension on any of these vehicles.
Ricky, the cause of *every* problem on the job site. And will LULZ bro his way through life, breaking up marriages and households as he goes. What a lad!
the real world truth of it is, those load calculations aren't ricky's job. the contractor who owns the equipment does them to ensure he orders the proper crane, then the operator (sorta) does them again, because if anything goes wrong, he is the one ultimately responsible.
