Tried a 180 ton Grove to place a precast panel on a tight site downtown yesterday
Ngl I figured the smaller 100 ton would be fine but the reach and load chart just didn’t work out so the bigger crane barely fit in the alley and I ended up swinging blind because one outrigger was over a utility vault, has anyone else had to call a bigger crane than planned for a tight spot and how’d you handle the setup?

Oh man, steel plates for sure but I had a similar situation last month where we had to swap a 130 for a 200 ton on a tight street job because the load radius was way longer than I mapped out. Ended up cribbing the outrigger over a storm drain with a massive stack of timbers and steel mats, felt sketchy but it worked out fine after we double checked the ground pressure.
