Search the forum for a thread by Mr Ed, he was running a skyline on a sensitive site (i think) good few pictures and info as i remember

Do those photos links still work.

Can"t get anything to come up although on a new tablet thingy which I"m struggling to work.

 

If have a look on ABS services site they make skyline systems and I see they do sell those fancy carriges things although I've never seen any crews using them.

The few I've seen have all been the digger type with the extension on the job.

Lots of adaptions and home grown gear in these older skyline threads, I would imagine having to be HSE/loler  compliant has forced a few of these older rigs out of business . Imagine writing up the rams for that game :)

Look up at650 skyline winch on YouTube, it's a video of mine with previous owner. He's got videos of his digger based one now too.

Watched that video. Takes me back. We ran an AT 650 from 98 to 03.

felling the trees was the nicest part

Did about 9 months down in Cahersiveen Co Kerry, Monday morning was a killer as up to the top to start a new run and then by Friday I had done a 400m + 40/50m wide corridor. I was the only one cutting and have to say I really enjoyed it. The set up was very good it came from the Czech Republic and was mounted on a Unimog type base with a 45-50 ft tower and able to do 600m runs. The main line was 24mm and rated at 3000 kg and it pulled down some nice big stuff ! The carriage was Austrian and had a clever hyd brake system for down hill stuff which you pumped like a jack to get going then it charged it's self as it travelled. It was very like the US type gear you see only smaller. 

Very common in Austria and the like to see skyline used to ferry up building stuff etc due to the ground.
