Motor vehicles / cars crashing into buildings

Sorry*, the platform on that thing isn't suspended.

*not sorry

Is hippy still arguing with his new alias account?

What does it do, sit on the floor? Of course it's suspended.
Look at the picture - it's literally hanging from the arm of the thing.

Don't cranes have counter-balancing weights,
which are unnecessary on hydraulically powered devices?

The platform is attached to the arm. Something which is hung or suspended would be below whatever is supporting it.

This is getting a bit silly, but you started it.

This is getting a bit silly

hippy's just getting warmed up.

Show me on the picture where the platform is above the arm.

Come on - radars aren't buildings.

Looks like the radar dish is set on a building.

Show me on the picture where the platform is above the arm.

'the' picture being the picture we are talking about.

Anyway, your picture still shows a platform hanging from an arm.

"What's the problem, I've only been here for 15 minutes?"

Is that the knowledge?

Do give a reference and a link to an article.

(Well done for re-railing the thread.)

Cheers. It now seems obligatory that the first comment under that sort of picture is some variant on 'the building should have worn hi-viz, a helmet, etc.'. :)

Every time this happens, it must be such a mess to sort out.

especially if you've got a tray of eggs on your shopping order.

"We weren't able to supply you with the baked beans you asked for so we've substituted for new window glazing, will that be ok?"

"We weren't able to deliver to you via the front door you asked for so we've substituted with delivery via the living room wall, will that be ok?"

"I bet you wished you'd paid for delivery now, instead of opting for the free slot"
