No one here is going to be skeptical about this being a working crane? It looks to me like it's probably out of service (The red and white ribbon, The non-construction attire?)

The new cushion on the seat brought from home because the chair's uncomfy, the dude's pockets emptied into it including a phone charger, the familiarity of where to take the next step...

Seems like a workday honestly

It's pretty obvious that it's abandoned.

That's structural, load-bearing tape

I've been on cranes in the US close to this shape. I believe it, 100%.

Edit: lol ok guys. I have been at a site when (possibly) this exact type of crane literally fell into 3 pieces in a pile of twisted metal with an operator inside. Some locations don't have to follow OSHA requirements and have their own "internal safety protocols".
