Old crane hand named Ray told me to stop choking up on the boom controls
I was on a job in Tacoma last spring moving some HVAC units onto a rooftop. Ray, this guy who's been running cranes since the 70s, kept yelling at me to lighten my grip on the levers. I thought he was just being a grump but after about an hour I tried it and the swing was way smoother. Has anyone else had an old timer change how you handle the controls?
