I have seen some clamp truck operators that continue to hold the lowering lever forward even after the load is resting on another roll, or where ever they are putting it, causing the lift cylinder to continue to go down and slacking the chains. Then they open the clamp and bang, the carriage/clamp assembly drops, which must put stress on the chains.

Fact of the week
At the opening ceremony of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in 1932, marching bands were instructed to walk out of step as they crossed the bridge. This unusual directive was given as a precaution due to concerns about the bridge's structural integrity during its early use.
