Judging from what looks to be recently placed fill across the site, you're probably correct.
Crane doesn't look very Reliable.
That’s what they are saying. Supposedly they were on their way to check it out before it flipped. A couple of my apprentices are there and the tilt companies main office is around the corner from my house
Yup. Thankfully no major injuries
The over ride key is different in a Liebherr. It's not just throwing a switch. I will leave it at that. Again, very lucky no fatalities
What is an over ride and what does it do? I operate equipment, mostly backhoes but never a crane so I'm curious.
Inlandwire has a short video of it after it fell on Instagram
there were a couple different stories… really the only reason I put the video up.
Atta boy@HBCraig was thinking about you yesterday as we used this massive piece of machinery.

Glad to hear it was "just" a broken bone. With what sounds like a damn big panel and a lot of boom coming down that's a good outcome.
from time to time.... I know the feeling
Are the rim lights a factory option?
Assemble on site. Operating weight of 598 tonsAre the rim lights a factory option?
Is that a truck that had to be assembled on site for the show, or was it close enough to a facility to move it as a unit?
I'm reminded of the movie "Avatar". There was a scene where the operator was running a massive earth mover remotely.
You need to get Parker Schnable some equipment.
I talked to Todd Hoffman today. Pretty chill guy
If that's the charging cable, for sure, I just figured it was to power up the screens and controls for the show.

The way it was explained to me is the power cable has a tension winch on it so it won't get run over. After four scoops you have to moveIf that's the charging cable, for sure, I just figured it was to power up the screens and controls for the show.
Appears it's 6,600 VAC @ 50hz, at least the one converted to an "E" in Australia was ----

Liebherr R 9400 repower: Pioneering electric excavator in Australia - Liebherr
Explore Liebherr Mining's groundbreaking achievement in Perth, Western Australia: the first-ever repowering of a diesel-drive machine to electric drive.www.liebherr.com
This article on what seems to be the same converted 9400 to an "E", provides additional information regarding the Hydrogen Fuel Cell system used to power the excavator and it's unique "Reel" system for providing the 6,600 Volts. In other words, this does not appear to be a charge it and run it system, but continually powered by constant external generation. It does however mention outputs for charging battery modules ?? I just scanned it, will read it more carefully as time allows.
Fortescue begins testing of Liebherr electric excavator powered by green hydrogen fuel cells - International Mining
Fortescue earlier this year delivered a prototype Offboard Power Unit to power a converted Liebherr electric R 9400 E excavator previously delivered to the Christmas Creek iron ore operation, part of the Chichester Hub. In a video update this week, the beginning of the electric excavator trial...
So it does require constant outboard power from the Fuel Cell or other means of generation ? 6,600V is some serious voltage to be running on even a fancy extension cord.
This particular unit is constant power. Big in Australia from what they saidSo it does require constant outboard power from the Fuel Cell or other means of generation ? 6,600V is some serious voltage to be running on even a fancy extension cord.
I thought the im-ming.com article utilizing the portable fuel cell power source as a constant was most interesting.
The 100 ton Marion Power Shovels clearing spoils in the four Hoover Dam three mile long 56' diameter penstock and diversion tunnels ran on 2,200 volt power provided by cable. They worked twenty hours a day, with four hour maintenance intervals.So it does require constant outboard power from the Fuel Cell or other means of generation ? 6,600V is some serious voltage to be running on even a fancy extension cord.
