Machines | Overhead Crane Failure - Drops 75 Tons!
videos | at work | information | view | construction
This is the failure of an overhead crane in the Netherlands. Buy quality equipment, and be sure to inspect your equipment! - http://www.hoistexperts.com I recieved this video in an email a while back. I am not sure of the exact details. If anyone has any further information as to what exactly caused the failure or any information on the damage it caused, let me know!

Wire rope let go...why else would the block come down. Pull monthly inspections on that rope. How old was rope, were they any breaks found, valley breaks maybe?

this is the turbine section of a gas turbine. maybe a frame 5 or 7

This is what happens when you cut corners and save a Euro or two buying that Finnish designed Eurocrap that doesn't incorporate a LOAD BRAKE in the Drive Train, which would have prevented the 'free fall after the coupling sheared !!
A Lovejoy coupling must never be used in this application without one ! -
Sucks to be you guys!

4 out of 5 stars, no drop and roll

Being a hoistexpert clearly does not make you a turbine expert.
This is a steam turbine, not a gasturbine. Try flying a 747 with 4 of these. -
I've seen power plant turbines exposed. And that puppy is a lot bigger than it looks in the video. I couldn't imagine having one of those dropped beside me.

This is why insurance cost so much to the average taxpayer. Because it didn't cost this company anything except a couple employees. Hell they probably profited off this accident.

Hostile work environment!
