Pole saws

[Dicer]

Hi 

looking for suggestions on how to attach a pole saw to the roof of a aluminium chip box on me landy?

 Cheers in advance

 couple of threaded eyes to the roof about 5 ft apart then use prussics and old carabiners through the eyes.

If its an Echo pruner you have the added security of being able to thread your prussic through the 'loop' handle.

 

For a time I had a length of soil pipe attached to the roof and a clip mechanism to hold the pruner in place, the engine had to hang out the back end but it was OK till the pipe clips broke. Keep it simple and as light as possible.

I've got a few m8 stainless eyes dotted about on my chip box ( off ebay) and use either old 9mm rock climbing rope (nice and stretchy) or those cheap pull strap loops. The gul ones are very good

Do you want to fix it vertically for super-fast crown raising?

I use two Quick Fists.  (Google Quick Fist).  Could be mounted either vertically or horizontally, or anywhere in between for that matter.

There is no way I’m Googling ‘Quick Fist’ with my search history.
