Welly crane job

[Paul Barton]

Great pics ben - looks like all went tickety boo.

 

Never done a crane job, respect to you man!

Ben, with a crane you need to think 'Hours' as opposed to 'days'. But, thats not to take away from the fact that you had a game-plan that worked exactly the way you planned it.

 

You look a proud man stood at the bottom of that tree, and so you should be. Very well done and great pictures:congrats:

i dont no about your crane companys around your lots areas but you get it for the day even tho it was there for only 2 hours when 1 that worked turned up!! oh and it wasnt my job, did it for a mate who i do alot of subbing for but i was involved a little in the planning.

but like i said it was drafted in to make life easy due to space:151:

Climbing time is what I was getting at, for the whole thing not just the timber.

 

For example: This was a big poplar, some 60 ft lift/sections, and quite a distance between the tree and chipper; only Nick and Paddy on the floor and myself in the tree, we were finished in about 4 hours with only the remaining wood for the timber guy to pick up the next day. The video is still on Arbtalk http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=631

 

I'm simply trying to re-emphasize/elaborate on what Ed advised you earlier about leaving the branches on for the lifts i.e. maximizing your resources. Otherwise its like having a dog and barking yourself, regardless of who's job it is!

 

Hey, we're only trying to help:top:

Nice tree i never used a crane had many oppertunitys but i preferr to climb about it.

 

I guess might do one now since it does look fun and alot easier knocking off tonne pieces.

 

like the vid we have some highly skilled people on here

That crane operator looked to know exactly what he was doing.
