    Yeah, the crane company/rental service will inspect it. Maxim, Barnhart, Bay Crane, those types. Sometimes they’ll assemble it but not always. Even those inspections will fail sometimes. We had a guy miss one side of a connector on a pendant bar and the inspector signed off on it- the connection snapped and the boom was only being supported by one pendant line leaving the boom hanging at a 45 degree angle.

      Damn that’s a big fuck up, rule one is take all your shit down with you and make sure you have. Rule two is make sure all the pins are in and retained. Everything else is optional really haha
