12
Finally got the hang of that load moment indicator after 6 months of ignoring it
I kept blowing off the LMI training module because I figured I could just feel when a load was off. Last Tuesday I had a 12 ton beam swinging weird and the alarm started chirping. I stopped, checked the screen, and it showed I was at 88 percent capacity with a bad radius. Adjusted my boom angle and everything settled right down. Has anyone else had a moment where the tech actually saved you from yourself?

The thing that gets me is how many guys treat the LMI like it's just a nuisance alarm. But that day you had, that's exactly why they put them on cranes in the first place. It's not about telling you what to do, it's about showing you something you might miss when your brain is busy with a dozen other things.
