Two in the ditch
Two cranes ended up in a ditch alongside a narrow road near Kinlet, in Shropshire, UK, this week.The first crane, a three axle All Terrain, overturned while working in a narrowest part of the lane, came off the edge of the road on the way to or from a job, on Tuesday.
A four axle All Terrain from Baldwins Crane Hire was asked to was sent out to recover the first, when it too succumbed to the complexities of the road and also ended up off the edge of the road. We understand that no one was hurt in the incident. The driver was checked over but released without charge. We have been told that the three axle was also owned by Baldwins but have been unable to confirm this.

Crane lads
glad the two lads are ok better to smoke the grass than drive on it.

Red I'm not even going to argue with you on that one as you are correct, you would think with the amount of rain we in the UK get that mobile operators would be experienced enough to stay well away from the sort edge, but it appears not.
We need to up our game in the UK lads.

It appears us yanks get outwitted by trees about as often as you folks overseas get outwitted by soft shoulders.
