Once again, the point in de-rating the crane is not to allow the client to use the crane how they want, but to tell them what our opinion of the crane is. Letting them do what they want to do is exactly how we get into so many issues, or job is to make the hard calls and tell them the bad news.
However I have to admit that Obviously, this one hasn’t been thought through all the way. Give me a call later on and we can discuss.
