Then again when you least expect it they will prove that gravity does exist, I used to move 75' x 12' elevator shaft supports and they would stand my crane on the inside outriggers and lift the outside about 4' off the ground. Considering that the boom was almost vertical to begin with I think the crane was defying gravity but don't tell a stuck swing lever that. I never saw so many hard hats run away that fast in my life, It then slowly rolled onto the boom and hit the ground with me and the crane in tow. So then with the boom sitting on the ground I brought it horizontal, I retracted the inside outriggers and it righted itself landing on the outside outriggers. My foreman scratched his head and said how'd you do that to which I replied dumb luck.
