Abstract:

A technician was operating an overhead house crane when he noticed that it was in traveling towards a protruding in-wall air handling unit. The technician slowed the crane down and noticed that the lower portion of the crane would contact the top portion of the in-wall air handling unit. The technician stopped the work and contacted the building manager.
