Metal Trackway cost

[Mark Bolam]

I have a job to price that involves taking an oak down on a school field.

The field has recently been redrained and surfaced at vast cost, so normal vehicular access is impossible.

 

Can anyone give a ballpark cost of about 80m of metal trackway hire (including install and striking)?

 

Essentially for 3.5 tonners, but also for a hiab wagon if possible?

 

Not even sure if the school will allow it yet.

Tree is straightforward, but there’s a lot of it!

 

Thanks.

Did one in Southampton last year charged us £24 / metre hire  for one week including up and down for 160 metre plus large turning area and cleaning after use

Offer to knock £100 if their caretaker repairs any turf damage, then go nuts.

The caretaker is my mate, who has specified no damage or his life won’t be worth living!

Eve trackway is probably the best company to ask, see there truck every were.

Used Eve years ago when I was in telecoms, they were brilliant.

Put a 1.5 km track in for T-Mobile (One2One back then) for an emergency tower build in a couple of days, in pretty unforgiving terrain.

I remember turning up at dusk to do a quick survey and there was a little Gurkha in a sentry box protecting it!

Few quids worth there, like.

 

Thanks @dumper, looks like my mate for 2-days with mini loader will be a better option if we can hiab the butt sections over the obligatory school / POW camp palisade fence.
