Thunderbird 6

[David Humphries]

Awesome bit of kit, what's the swl on one of these?

 

 

Great little crane, ideal for tight....ish spots

 

it says it can lift 6t at 3m out reach from up to 7m height

 

The boom goes up to just over 19m and has an extension fly jib that can take the height upto 22.7m

Cool, how was your operator?

 

Ours was fairly new to tree work with a crane, but got up to speed pretty quickly.

 

Having the helmet coms certainly helped

great tune and great vid, hell of a lean on that tree eh?

[dervishcarving]

not only that, but hey could get the stump carved

[gand]

He was quite good really as he hadn't done tree work either, he was from the local engineering firm who install bridges and the like. It was all down to good communication between me and him

our local stone mason/ornamental sculpter has a thing similar to this, but his fits in a plant trailer, only goes out to 5m, but will go through a garden gate, he installed our new war memorial with it, and was saying it cost him 85k 3 year ago
