It looks like the first trouck *could* have done the job if the operator
had a little more sense. It seems like the boom had enough capacity,
other wise an overload check should have stopped it from lifting. I
think if the truck had been backed up so the rear tires were a few feet
from the edge and the heavy front of the truck was oposite the lift it
would have worked. Probably need a couple ropes to the car being lifted
to keep it parallel to the wall.

Yep,

I was almost expecting to see the last pic showing the bigger rig going
in the drink when they tried to pick up the first truck.

We think the truck registrations are Galway in Ireland.

The second truck is the proper tool for the job, given that the first truck was
seriously misused.
