Mainly because it helps me know how close we are to lunch time.

      That’s part of what makes it great. Fast glances while I have my hand on the stick. Planning on a fully tegimented U1 next.

    Time how long it takes your dogman to rig the load before you jump on the loud speaker and tell them how to do it

      Daaaamn Aussie crane operators get a bullhorn? I want one. I usually get out to cuss out my riggers face to face.

        Not all machines but a lot of Liebherr machines and other large crawlers have them built into the crane

          Innnnnteresting. It must be a factory option I haven’t run into yet, because the rig I took this picture in is my fourth liebherr. Three of them were all a tad older, but I had a 2019 model LR 1300.1sx and it didn’t have one. I’ll have to ask around and see if any of my brothers have ran into one equipped with it.

            Yeah, i work for liebherr it definitely is an optional extra.

            I was working in a LR 1300.1sx the other day and it had one installed

              Wow, small world, Liebherr is easily my favorite lattice boom crane to run, with tadano being my favorite telescoping crane. Thanks for your hard work making them so pleasant to operate.
