Wonder if he used the crane to lift the cattle out of a field

Just climbing to the cab to start your workday is more exercise than 99% of the population get in a year

[@patrick4044]

Just by watching him. My heart is popping

[@grahambrown5874]

If crane operators spend most of the time looking down, do they suffer from representative strain injury in their neck and upper back?

[@youssefbentachfin]

Yes it is it could Cause them reversed neck and deginirative disck if they don’t train

[@iyantara3220]

[@DRBRIGHT_213]

This kinda job you have to trust your equipment for real..

[@nz1664]

Yes....if the equipment not in good condition...the operator can call the coffin dancing geng for funeral

[@banchaurairat]

After checking by a technician, you need to do a major check to make sure the equipment is really safe. But I'm not sure if there is a bathroom above. Haha😂

[@michaelwachendorf2096]

You also need to respect your equipment know what it can do and don't fuck off.

[@sandcroft2924]

You have to have head for heights and strong upper back Kudos to this guy! I hope they develop technology so the operator doesn't have to lean forward and just look at the monitor .

[@AnimePhoenix888]

Yes Naho, I'm one of the Service Support Engineers from "WOLFFKRAN", the german manufacturer of that crane.

[@judyhopps9380]

wowzers. Sorry to bug you ,its just I started saving up the £3000 required for a crane operator course, but I'm worried there's not enough demand for crane operators in the UK and EU. I'm also worried they're incredibly difficult to operate and I'm doomed to failure
