That can't be how they normally lift the counterweights... slings are not designed to be point loaded like that. Not to mention the fact that they're not secured; any slip and those suckers are hitting the pavement (as well as whoever is underneath). I wonder if someone forgot to bring the shackles and they all decided to take a DANGEROUS shortcut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually that is how they are supposed to transported, those lifting lugs are rounded and have a lip on the outside edge to prevent the slings from coming off. The no no is the crane operator leaving the cab while he has a load in the air. Major infraction where I work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to give it a closer look next time I see one. Absolutely love all of the new things we learn on this forum! Thanks for the info!

cspwal Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 drove down it today, looks a lot more dense, but it's a shame that there's almost no GFR right next to a major transit hub 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pet Peeve though... wood looking tile as an exterior surface... You want the wall of the building to look like floor? yuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HouTXRanger Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 It's by far one of the best looking parking garages i've ever seen. I'd rather have an ugly parking garage with GFR than a pretty one without though, when it's right next to the downtown transit center for goodness sake . . . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
