2. VIEW INSIDE A
CRANE COCKPIT
A close-up view of a Cessna crane’s cockpit. This particular
cockpit is an older model and has undergone heavy use.
Much like a driver’s cab, this cockpit features pedals, gauges,
levers and steering wheels.
3. BOAT
CRANE
This crane is offloading cargo containers from a ship.
One perk of the job is seeing beautiful landscapes from
above, including the sparkling blue water of the bay.
4. A DIZZYING
CLIMB
The climb up this oil rig appears as dizzying from below
as it is from the top. While this climb takes an estimated four
to five minutes, some crane ladders take 15 to 20
minutes to climb!
5. COLLABORATING
WITH GROUND
CREWS
A Colombian Navy sailor helps direct a crane operator in
transferring humanitarian aid cargo from a Colombian Navy
logistics ship. Lifting heavy cargo often requires thorough
communication with a ground team to ensure heavy cargo is
lifted and transported safely.
6. OBSTRUCTED
VIEWS
Not all crane operators have stunning views. This US
Navy crane operator must carefully move heavy machinery
with the crane’s neck obstructing most of his view. The
slightest mistake can damage the machinery, causing
thousands in damages.
