Unless you're an ironworker, I've built many a crawler crane from LTR-1220's to LR11000's.

    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.
