Testa Corp's Gridiron Artisans change out the cables holding the wrecking ball to their 1971 HC238 Link Belt truck crane.
I filmed this in close quarters to the guys on the ground and managed to stay out of their way the entire time.
In addition to changing the cables they also upgrade the shock absorbing truck tires that sit in between the clevis and the wrecking ball.
The Link Belt has a boom of 160 feet is in full dress counterweights with a 125 ton lifting capacity.
Watch as a team of four changes everything out and has the Wrecking Ball back in action in just 28 minutes.
Technical information furnished by The Crane Experts at HeavyEquipmentForums.
Everyone has their hardhat and safety glasses on in this one, thats for sure.
