Yea 99% of the industry is idiots. Pretty easy to get hired and or move up by just having a personality or people not wanting to punch you at the mere sight of youReigned in would be nice, just applying a little common sense into the mix would make me happy.
When you have to tell someone, "For that to happen, it would have to fall up", common sense has left the building.
Or the dealer of the equipment would lease it to them or do a subscription model or some shit.If someone cared, you could have a bin where "used" stuff gets bundled up and sold, but I'm sure they don't do that
All my straps and slings are retired ones from jobs.
Honestly, I don't blame them at all for single use rigging, that's literally nothing compared to the waste most are talking about. If someone cared, you could have a bin where "used" stuff gets bundled up and sold, but I'm sure they don't do that
OSHA…never heard of her…All the wire rope and nylon slings had the eyes cut right there on the boat. They even had the divers take their knives to the lift bags before they even came to the surface.
The rigging we had might have cost 100k-200k.....a drop in the bucket really, until you think about how many jobs Shell had going on all over the world at that same time.
Then you go to India and they're lifting loads with 1/2" polypro, standing under the load and not a tag line to be seen.
My OSHA comment was in relation to how things go in India/other countries without safety standards etc.
Sorry, I'm retarded and completely missed your point.
No problem at all. Should have tried to bold/color change the font I was referring to anyway.

I will say I make operations teams sit at the table and help me write new processes, or modify current ones, I tell them this way it's not so overbearing nothing gets done. I actually can't stand when we get assigned to change things in a bubble.
I can 100% see some textbook engineer deciding that they can skimp on the heat treat, or spec an alloy that lends itself better to the gear teeth duties for the side gear because the root of the spline is bigger (because female part) and the simulation says it will last the warranty.Quality control has just gone to shit. No way that would have been the weak link on an axle built before covid

Given all the stories you tell us, I'm always surprised y'all don't have stuff like this :
Seems like this would make life a lot easier with less breakdown / stuck events.
The company I work for now is way to short sighted to do something like that. In January of this year they had to pay a roustabout daily wages and rent on a 4x4 back hoe to drag trucks around. I put in a request to let us build one truck for just such an occasion. My idea would have cost less than one month of backhoe tow truck and it would have been something they owned instead of a sunk cost but request denied.JR4X

put in another request to lease a large helicopter. They might will take the bait, because retarded amount of $$$ and down few employees for months as y'all get sent out (and get paid) for helicopter pilot training and the company get to 'have' a big helicopter. All approved because it's costly.
I think that's why specialized tracked chassis sitting on trailers (spider lifts, drill rigs, etc, etc) so vastly outnumber trucks that have been made more amenable to going off road. Cheaper/easier/faster/better to just drop the trailer onto your usual truck before leaving the yard than trying to manage which employees are in which trucks with which specialized tools and who's skilled for what and which trucks can go where.

Plus with this method/training, you could use the helicopter to lift Robby Gordon's broken Speed UTV out of the canyons during the EMC race...put in another request to lease a large helicopter.
