We use a lot of barges like that and the biggest thing is making sure the barge is tied to something secure . I’ve seen a rock truck drop the back end in the water during the offload because it spun the barge out from under it
barge work loading and unloading , Tie the barge to two minim points the tug will not hold it and be as level as possible and clean tracks steel on steel plus mud not good, I do a lot of float work diggers and dozers steel drum rollers, steel deck keep straight don’t turn if you are angled back down and do it again if possible
💯💯💯
I believe the logs were laid for support over the gap
That is definitely a bridge and they are attempting to support the machine with them
I have to laugh, I’ve never seen so many people wearing flip flops on a construction site, No one there should be allowed around heavy equipment. great video thanks. 👍😎
I have a feeling none of these people are OSHA certified. 🙂
hold my beer :-)))
I have MSHA training and one of the requirements of the course is FATALGRAMS. It’s hard to imagine everything that can go wrong in the world. Imagine an operator in a cat excavator on a barge on the Nile river. The operator inadvertently dumps the ex off the barge into the drink. Punching the front glass out of the machine he was then eaten alive by piranhas. The pictures they use for these FATALGRAMS leave nothing to the imagination.
A huge lack of training and respect for the equipment in many of these developing and 3rd world nations is what leads to these accidents . No one seems to want to invest in lo-boys 🤔
at the 9th minute why not try to hold the excavator with a bucket on the shore. and the center of mass is shifted to the shore and how can an anchor be held, perhaps !?
Hi guys.
I’d like to see more of these on your channel.
As for the content – Stupid has no limits.
it all comes down to education and training with the machine and knowing its COG and operational parameters. Thanks for sharing.
What’s really happening in many of these incidences is that the UN, EU or some big global conglomerate pays for a machine for the village in a 2nd or 3rd world nation and they just have it delivered and there’s no training. The operators simply don’t know the machine limits and the operational environment and they do these dumb-arse things.
Of course, there is an additional side to this and that is these 2nd and 3rd world countries have no Work Place Health and Safety laws so there is no one educated in that either and so it’s just the blind leading the blind. No one fears a safety inquiry and so no one even thinks about the consequences of an industrial accident.
The point here is this : Not one of these people wake up in the morning and think safety. It’s just not there. When a person dies in an industrial accident it’s just an unfortunate death. They dig the machine out and get another operator who is no better. No one is learning from the mistakes of the past. In short, they don’t know to think about caring.
He who ignores history is doomed to repeat it.
Education, Awareness, Training and a commitment to safety is the only way to prevent these idiotic machine fails.
👍
So your Names ADAM ! ? NEXT TO H.M L !? NEXT TIME ! COOK CHICKEN !! CORNELL SANDERS !! WILL EMPLOY !! YOU !! IN NO TIME !! AT ALL !!
Thats was the door that got ejected jajaj😂
These are great thank you it’s always better to learn from other people’s mistakes sorry to say
The secret to loading on a barge is…. don’t stop and use the bucket down to spread the weight forward… last pucker… hard
