Flat top snap

The top of a flat top tower crane – jib, cab, counter jib – broke free from its tower at a site at Smeaton Grange near Campbelltown on the southwest side of Sydney, Australia on Sunday.

The entire episode was captured on video – see below – watching it you might be forgiven for initially assuming that the incident occurred while the crane, a Comedil CTT561 was being erected.
But no it has been working on the site at Smeaton Grange since July. The failure is down to a connection pin/bolt or other failure between the tower and slew ring section. How or why it failed like this when out of service and calm days is the focus of an investigation by the rental company operating the crane – Reds Global and the authorities.

Thankfully no one was injured in the incident, more to due to the fact that the site was closed than anything else.
