Lost a full day in Ketchikan to a load chart I read backward
Spent almost 9 hours last Tuesday at the Ketchikan job chasing a capacity issue on our Liebherr 1250 that turned out to be me reading the chart at the wrong boom length. I kept adding counterweight and re-rigging when the real problem was a 12 foot radius difference I had marked on my tag line by mistake. Cost us the whole afternoon and a re inspection before the pick. Anyone else keep a printed backup chart in the cab for when the screen freezes up in cold weather?
