What System do you use and why?

i tend to use what ever i feel is required for the job , it may be a porter wrap and light weight swing cheek pully , may be a lowering bollard fixed to the tree with various pulleys etc or it could be a crane ranging from 50 ton - 180 ton it really all depends on the the tree and what you have to contend with . but i do like enjoy climbing and knowing a have a whole host of options open to me with the kit i have got .

gotta be a porta rap and large rigging pulleys and slings ...would love to be able to justify the money on a grcs but hiring cranes seems easyer in situations where lifting is really needed.... maybe soon i can justify it ,would not mind checking out the capabiltiies of regs stein job at a show though.

we have been using hobbs rope brake all week lowering big Cedar in church yard , if we were getting another I would prefer one with a winch ability to be able to tension or lift material with system

 

You can pretension/ lift with a Hobbs.

Its been a while since I needed a crane, you lads seem to love a heavy bit of kit!

 

16mm bull, steel crabs heavy slings/pulleys and a portawrap all in their own little bag and more than capable of anything you have the guts to remove in one hit while still in the tree!

[Rupe]

A 16mm rope is capable of far more than a portawrap will allow, if you can let it run then much larger peices are possible if you use a decent bollard type device.

 

I wouldn't have wanted to lower these on a portawrap!

or it could be a crane ranging from 50 ton - 180 ton it really all depends on the the tree and what you have to contend with . .

 

180t tonne crane is a VERY big crane!!!!! and I would have thought VERY expensive.

 

I used an 85t crane 10 years ago and it cost £850 per day back then.

 

What job did you use an 180t on?? and what did it cost??
