CAT 793 DUMP TRUCK ACCIDENT

CAT 793 GETS DROPPED ONTO SHIP IN DURBAN HARBOUR SOUTH AFRICA

[@crow9149]

Shoutout to the cameraman for keeping the camera on target when something actually happens

[@steevrawjers]

lol true

[@joeyjamison5772]

Who do you think loosened the chain?

[@davherex]

@@joeyjamison5772 Lololol!!!!!

[@mizfabulos]

@@joeyjamison5772 i think the hook was too heavy

[@joemac3118]

That's no shit there buddy!!!👍😂😂

"For Sale: 1 Cat Dumptruck, never driven and only dropped once."

[@danhorne3582]

Funny

[@Venisor21]

That's why they wear helmets, just in case the truck falls on them.

[@davewoodring]

jeet kune do is a good book to read

[@devilxdude]

Hahaha win!

[@syedadnaan3061]

so what your trying to say is the helmet can save them from that heavy truck huh x_x is it a super helmet

[@Venisor21]

Syed Adnaan LOL. I wasn't trying to say anything, it was just a joke.

[@syedadnaan3061]

:P oh k

[@tellmesomething2go]

That was some lucky break. A clean drop, with NO damage, and no injuries. Could have dropped over the railings. Give that an A+ "ACCIDENT".

[@tzk123]

I bet they needed a change of pants! At first I saw one guy standing almost directly under it.. I bet he won't do that again. Glad it was low when it broke and that everyone is OK.

[@ph11p3540]

I taught that truck chassis had enough falling energy to go through the deck or explode one of the tires. Amazing how tough the deck and tires are.

[@Venisor21]

The truck fell on a boat, not a deck.

[@ph11p3540]

Sorry my friend. It's a ship. It has a deck as called in the nautical world.

[@ChuddleBuggy]

Kendall Sain LOL! That deck's made of mahogany!

[@kfstreich4787]

Kendall Sain not a boat. A sheep. I heard a captain correct a passenger one day

[@sambosomethin7844]

when you think about the amount of weight that will be on those tyres when fully loaded, an empty truck is really not much for them.

[@mattressing4843]

Thats not a cat, it didnt land on all 4 feet

[@daveherbst1480]

Incorrect lifting tackle was used. Chains can not be used around the wheel hubs at this angle. Web slings should have been used.

[@jasonmckie4402]

Was looking for the first guy to get it right.

[@kenmtb]

seems like huge loads are always lifted by spindly chains and straps. It is like they use the smallest things possible....sigh

[@OrbiterElectronics]

Geeeeeeez... Did that bloke really walk underneath that @1.30?

[@bellachannel007]

What a numpty lol

[@BeSasithorn]

[@dimosk7389]

i don't think he did. he walked closer to the camera. not sure of course, just guessing based on where he walks on the deck and where the front wheel landed

[@Wayoutthere]

I got anxiety just watching those workers keep standing to close to the damn thing...

[@dustyroads834]

I heard the guy say a chain broke ?? I was always told never use chains for lifting or rigging. Hmm.

[@MrCartoonsShow]

01:30 what a lucky son of a bitch

[@lightsource9263]

That's the last time that guy will walk under anything.

[@kfstreich4787]

Right about ... THERE!!! Perfect, quick disconnect and grab the other one.

[@pomeshik888]

Center of Gravity shifted Cargo hence forces on grommets were not evenly distributed - inspite of Spreader used. Most probably BL of Grommets too close to actual Cargo weight.

[@whoeverwhoever400]

who the heck still use chain for such project. Heavy steel wire ropes are way tougher, and they don't snap unpredictably.

[@GeoSciful]

That's why there is a safety rule to never stand or walk under loads overhead.

[@johngparker557]

I'm glad nobody got hurt check your chain keep up the good work bye-bye

[@800hennessy]

Couldn't really ask for a better "bad scenario" honestly. It could have dropped it higher off the ground, or as it was between the ship and dock. Glad no one got hit.

[@JrFlexing909]

Glad no one was hurt. All I can say at least it on ship. I was hoping it was going to fall between the ship and the pier but it fallen at the last minute on the boat deck. Nice landing.

[@jgstargazer]

It's a little hot.. I think I'll stand in the shade.

[@TheRantingCabbie]

A simple "sv_cheats 1" then set "sv_gravity" to the lowest integer and that wouldn't have happened.

[@TheRantingCabbie]

@Juden Arier IDK, maybe tap the ~ on your smart phone.

[@Wafflepudding]

If the world ran on gamebryo the truck woulda just clipped through the boat as it fell

[@TheRantingCabbie]

@@Wafflepudding I could just imagine aircraft carriers without Vphysic Clip enabled.

[@Bearcats737]

try the new moving job!!! it will wake you up better than coffee in the morning!!!!

[@this_mfr]

Like 400 safety violations in this one video. Jesus Christ everyone from the foreman to the cameraman should be fired. No guideman. Walking underneath the load. No load bearing redundancy (always lift with 2x capacity of the load). And obviously the chains hadn't been load tested recently or they would have failed under test and not during use.

[@TheSoloAsylum]

There ya go boys, shes loaded just as usual....

[@sethwatson8952]

Illustrated reason why not to stand under (or near, really) something a crane is lifting....

[@zman111666]

Well, you know... They gotta do a little bounce check before letting the customer take it off the lot...

[@Dsm152]

Maybe to avoid any flying chains, hooks and shackles that came hurling off the crane? i sure as hell wouldnt be standing around too close to 793 that just came crashing down

[@cbthethird]

the only major load that ever fell from one of our cranes was when my boss was lifting many many tons with chains. Scary when the chain snaps!

[@shinlanten]

Can tell it was South Africa from the accent alone.

[@R2RO20]

No cats were harmed in the making of this video.

[@AffordBindEquipment]

well, there are probably safer ways but this is certainly the fastest!

[@docstruthers]

WOW. People think a 50 cal round is dangerous? HA. One of those links hit someone, yep. Good everyone is ok!

[@chrisperrien7055]

some of those guide ropes needed to be longer, some of those guys were way too close/under the load almost.

[@odnumiar59]

Those were steel cables , not Walmart chains !

[@gullreefclub]

Freaking lucky no one got hurt. That said Who was the Dumb SOB who thought they should use chains around the “axle hubs” and not slings. Additionally I would of thought those trucks would of had lifting eyes on the chassis because I would think this is not the first time one of these trucks was lifted by a crane

[@Heavie486]

OSHA or MOSHA would've stop the lift, if they seen how short those tag lines they were using.

[@hippoklops]

incident at 1:41

[@rameshd729]

the weight was not balance out equally so the chain broke

[@wildturkey1960]

Oops... Did you see those guys run after it hit the deck? Why were they running? Once the truck hits the deck, it's all over. No need to run. But, I'll bet the Captain of that barge wasn't a happy camper after that.

[@MrMarkpark]

Who the hell uses chains to lift? We always, always use cables or straps and only use chains to tie down.

[@toddenrico2748]

The truck is on the boat, undamaged. Any landing you can walk away from...

[@marcmarcmarcmarcmarc]

chains were inadequate really for this heavy lift and should not have been used, Nylon/polyester heavy-duty lifting slings/strops should have been used for lifting heavy machinery like this,

[@Ivansgarage]

Perfect, looks good to me, right where we wanted it.

[@whiteoak1610]

never use a chain for a heavy pick , first rigging rule !

[@Openvideohouse]

imagine if someone is down

[@maximumhardcore4362]

That’s how we do it at work everyday

[@IrishEddie317]

Yessa, me sella you high quality chain! Made in China, like all good quality stuff! I guarantee chain. Give you 50/50 guarantee! 50 feet or 50 second!

[@Heavie486]

Plus the load was uneven.

[@mbahrebo]

Lucky no one injured.

[@thomascloutier6734]

captain obvious behind the camera Lol "The chain broke"

[@wrigleyx]

around 200 tons here ?

[@wildturkey1960]

Well, there is that. However, if they hadn't been hit with any flying shrapnel by the time the truck stopped bouncing, they won't get hit with anything.

[@Gazzilaussie]

Just drop it there mate :)

[@puffpuffpass5266]

that was bag rigging they should have put it down and re rigged it.. someone should have been fired

[@LinnVaveon]

Foreman Yells : "OK - YEAH! - Just leave it right there."

[@truckerjay1]

the boat did move didnt you see the bow line bouncing

[@markm2984]

Wy do people rush shit don't understand trying to make sure they see them working dealing w tons of shit

[@gordonmccoy4537]

Yep.... that's EXACTLY where I wanted it.....

[@texasbmx246]

Almost looks like it flexed too.

[@marko514]

Imagine if that thing falls on you. It would be something like when you stand on a small ant or squash a bug. Jesus

[@signal44]

that darn gravity

[@tomthumb5445]

it bounced real good!

[@Djrezs]

where was that?¡

[@Heavie486]

Also, those Tag lines was to short.

[@trevorzzealley2670]

Dumb truck taking a dump . Just dump it on deck mate , Righto .

[@ElSlametySlam]

Damn... does it not have a suspension?

[@Dadstamps]

Yes but travel is limited the tires provide the most shock absorbing on these trucks

[@Brecconable]

At least the suspension is functioning LOL

[@BBQMAN81]

ahhh geez whoopsie daisy lmao

[@356LEWIS]

brilliant! just brilliant!

[@mattouli]

Clean underwear required all round! good job they put the handbrake on... lol

[@MEQUPWER]

that one dude was about 6 seconds away from death, bet he sharted wen that happend

[@jefffaescotland7768]

Bet that was the quickest they guys moved all week lol...

[@commiellama]

Task failed successfully

[@phalanx3803]

don't worry CAT's have 9 lives so it will be fine for another 8 drops.

[@nsinghpp06]

Bouncy bouncy...

[@GinKasai]

"GOOD! right there! Alright, boys! Tie it down!"

[@petediaz8277]

If y'all notice, at 1:38 a bird lands on the rear left tire and the added weight made the chains fail. They forgot to factor in the bird's weight just in case one did land on the dump truck. Also, they are in the Southern Hemisphere, things weigh a little more down under. So obvious.

[@Finley1313X]

Theres no bird on the wheel idk how you even think thats a bird

[@petediaz8277]

***** Shelton, is that you?

[@creativeanarchy1]

Must have been an African sparrow. They are big enough to carry coconuts.

[@louiewatson9389]

Pete Diaz there is no bird.

[@MR-nl8xr]

Those 2 guys are very talented, not just anyone can multitask a sprint while shitting themselves all at once, years of experience.

[@HaloToday]

I'm just glad no one got hurt, I really really really hate seeing people doing their jobs and doing what they are suppose to be doing and get hurt.

[@Jerzrailfan]

Crane Operator, "Well, I didn't rig the fucking thing!"

[@travisrhodes2862]

Chain slings failed simple as that. Probably weren't inspected prior and it is very possible that they were not rated to pick up that amount of weight. When one chain fails, the rest will follow.

[@Skoda130]

Lucky bastards! Everyone escaped, and even the damage to the equipment seems minimal.

[@5hak3itup]

"ok now lower it... gently....gently....GENTLY....ok perfect!"

[@bobross3080]

"There ya go! One dump truck loaded on deck, What's next?"

[@LovemeAquarius]

I don't understand why even some experienced workers stay under heavy loads. Unlike us, they may also have seen many horrible accidents too. ??

[@pigjubby1]

Uh, on second thought I think I'll cancel my order.

[@karlbuschtoolmaker]

a little bondo and some touch up paint charge extra for the stress test

[@Frykiller1]

I love the guy's accent he sounds like a badass

[@keswickian1989]

At least they got it on the ship.

[@vodnikdubs1724]

When you manage to fail so well that you drop it perfectly.

[@JerTin-Woodlands]

The broken chain was in between the wheel and body, got something in there that put too much stress on one link. The other side it was in contact with just the tire itself.

[@theslicefactor4590]

Hi

the cowards run away instead of steadying the truck when it falls must be union labor

[@zacksmith3398]

Massive truck, little human. I'm absolutely positive people over at liveleak would love to see you try that dumbass.

[@thesherm44]

Zack Smith im 96% sure talesin was joking.

[@zacksmith3398]

Still lacking 4% :)

@ Please refer to my original comment. And it is Must not musty.

[@neptune4167]

good thing parking brake was set

[@TheDodgeboi]

whats the problem truck loaded.

[@piotrwojtaszewski9746]

Props to the guy in the background in 1:39 who noticed something was wrong. Too bad there wasn't time to do anything.

[@kungfu2toe]

Weak link! Plus foreskin jinxed it right before breakage "Theyll prolly f this up

[@FutureTruckerJen101]

You're only as strong as your weakest link.

[@clintteller7255]

Did not rig it level. Sling on rear carrying more of total load than others in front. Bad rigging and choice of rigging.

[@douglasskaalrud6865]

I think the choice of rigging would have been fine if they had balanced the load before swinging it. Even the greenest rookie could see it was way out of level. I think they kept it too high off the deck too- they should have lowered it as soon as it had cleared the side of the ship.

[@meet141]

Stupid crane
