Good to see that Ger is ahead of the curve on HSE compliance.

The likes of Beranek and Coates are great ambassadors for safe working practices.

Or not play super hero’s and do the job properly!

 

Thas a helpful comment on a job you have not seen. 2 trees, i deader than hell and crispy,  the other solid and taller so ideal for a remote, main anchor point.  No access for a MEWP, Tracked cherry picker, crane etc.  No other trees close enuf to string up a temporary horizontal anchor between them.  I am interested to see what reusable rig was used when this subject was discussed previously on Arbtalk.

doesnt sound like an ideal set up, how much of a swing is there to the main anchor point?

you say you want the weaklink to be re settable.... how many times do you think the tree is going to disintergrate during the dismantle!!!!?

could you set a line between two trees to get you directly above the dodgy tree?

A fair swing indeed. a re-settable rig is better than using cable ties as it'd be quicker to reset plus you may only use such a setup a few times per year but once it's proven and in your armoury it can be reused over and over again when required.

Beranek is still stropped into the dead one though.

Wire gate carabiner with gate removed? You practise your quick draw Wild West style

Get yourself one of these; from about 3.10sec in

Ive got one, really good, you can regulate the pressure needed and just clip your Krab into it.

That's the one Paul.

 

The OP was never heard from again.

I don’t need to see the job, trust me it’s good advice!

Just use a couple of big zip ties. Don't know what all this "resettable" stuff is all about? It's just for the one job, if another comes up use another couple of zip ties...

[Stephen Blair]

Yes Joe, lean back onto those zip ties and then just give a little extra shove, break off and swing away like Tarzan ?
