Mirror hack for blind spots during city crane work
Working downtown, I kept missing hand signals from the ground crew due to building obstructions. I picked up a small convex mirror and fixed it to the side window of the crane cab. This gave me a clear view of the signal person without turning my head. It's a simple fix that really helps with precise load placement.

How did you attach the mirror without blocking your view? Nice work, I did almost the same thing on a tight site last fall. I used a small bike mirror clamped to the cab's door handle, it showed me the signal person's whole area. Really sped up the lifts when I could see them without guessing.

Used a heavy-duty suction cup mount on the windshield, right at the top corner. Stays put even when swinging the boom around. Your bike mirror idea is clever for tight spots too!
