Tower Crane Loses Jib in London
A luffing jib tower crane has lost its jib on a site in Ealing, London these evening, no one have been injured inside incident and then we are not aware of whether it’s associated with the strong gusty winds currently in the area.
The crane, owned by rental company LTC �C London Tower Cranes �C was working on the Dickens Yard site in Ealing Broadway, becoming developed by St George. The operator was treated for shock, but was otherwise unhurt.
A spokesman for St George acknowledged the incident had occurred, but stated that it wasn’t possible to comment at this stage for the possible cause.
The high quality crane and jib which appears to have experienced a sheared jib bolt, are said to be stable, even though they will likely be monitored overnight for virtually every further movement or risk.
