Update: My load chart said 11,200 lbs but the scale at the yard read 12,400 and that gap taught me something
Spent 20 minutes re-checking my rigging and radius before I lifted anything over 8,000 again, and now I want to know how often you guys re-weigh loads versus trusting the paperwork.
That gap between 11,200 and 12,400 is scary. I read somewhere that paperwork weight is often just an estimate, so hitting the scale yourself on anything heavy seems like the safe move.
