Beautiful watch. Wear it in good health.

[–] Fecundpossum@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Thanks friend, will do. I’ll probably still wear it in bad health when I’m old.

They are so freakin'readable. Love it.

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.

[–] Fecundpossum@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Annnnd I did it. U1-T fully tegimented on its way.

Photos coming soon.

Every morning hereafter will be a struggle... "which watch do I wear today? 836 or U1?"

Life is gonna be hard.

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.

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Fecundpossum@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.
