Crane fun

What happens here

A key aspect of crane setup is how its weight is distributed. The narrator explains that the crane's total weight, including the counterweights, is dispersed not through its tires, but onto specialized pads placed under its outriggers. These pads effectively spread the load over a larger area. Visually locate these pads under the crane.

Goal: Understand how the crane's weight is dispersed on the ground.
