Boom angle indicator or load cell - which do you trust more at the limit?
Last month on a job in Newark I had a pick right at capacity, and the boom angle indicator said I was good but the load cell was screaming red. I shut it down and went with the load cell reading, turned out a chain was snagged adding extra weight. Anyone else ever have those two disagree on you and what did you do?

Trust the load cell every time (learned that one the hard way too).

Yeah instruments don't lie... people just don't want to believe them sometimes.
