Upon reaching the designated position(overloaded the working radius) and unloading the solar panel, the skylift cannot boom up.

The operator thought that the skylift has malfunction. The mechanic was called in and try to do on-site repair on the skylift electronics.

Upon arrival and seeing the boom length and working radius, the supervisor knew that it wasn't a failure of on-board electronics. It was actually an overload.

The boom's own weight was actually too heavy for the hydraulics to perform a boom up. Due to the condition of the site, no crane is accessible.

The boom went up upon assistance by the excavator. No personnel was injured in this incident.
