Last Wednesday was my best day on the job in 3 years

I was setting a 50 ton air handler on a roof in downtown Cleveland. Everything lined up perfect. The wind was calm, the flagger had his timing down, and the ground guy didn't pull me off course even once. I had the load set in 12 minutes flat. Usually those jobs take me at least 25 with all the fussing. What's the smoothest setup you've had that made the whole shift fly by?

Used to think crane work was all the same but hearing this changed my mind.

Wait, you set a 50 ton air handler in 12 minutes? That's insane, I don't buy it.

Man @danielkim is right, crane work is definitely not all the same. Had a helper once that did a 40 ton rooftop in under 15 minutes - the old timer who taught me nearly fell off his ladder laughing.
