It could probably handle the load but the problem was he was trying to move the load too high. Anyhow, that should be a costly mistake.
+1, the issue wasn't that the load was too large, or that it was too high, it was because he took it too far from the base.It handled the load just fine, all the way until it reached the tipping point and the garage caught it. . He extended the load to far away from the base and it got him, he really should have did the math and never let it get that far.

There are chart/computers/calculations that tell you how far you can reach out with a load of X weight. Seems to me somebody made the wrong calculation, made an error on the right calculation, or just didn't make the calculation at all.
I won't jump to conclusion and call anybody an idiot just yet. Nobody is perfect, and it's very possible that this was just a simple error; we all make errors.
That and the water and pool toys were in it already.
That is what happens when you rent a crane without an operator................I want to see the video on how they got the crane back to all wheels on the ground!
Me thinks they brought the wrong crane to the jobsite. Looking back, a poured in place concrete pool was cheaper than this mess!
after driving a forklift for a few years... it could of been a mechanical/hydrolic failure or something to that effect...
but it very well could of just been human error as well... i dont know, i wasnt there.
Now I'm worried. I hope the stork doesn't fall into the garage when it delivers my next grand baby!
