Poplar - Crane - Video

[David Humphries]

Inspiring stuff Mr Coates.

Although never anywhere nearly as accomplished a climber as yourself, your work almost makes me want to dust off me old Willans and get the Buckinghams back on.............anyway enough reminiscing, back to the reality of Tree Risk Policy, Joint Mitigation Protocols and Loler records.

 

Reg, you and your fellow crane-ially challenged Arborists really are taking the industry to new heights.

Please excuse the cringeworthy pun.

You deserve the Kudos

 

Not wanting to highjack the post, but....I'm interested in what peoples views are on training when it comes to crane dismantles.

I probably should start a new thread.

Keep em peeled hombres !

If there was a course on the subject of crane dismantles I would probably go on one.

 

I think there is a huge amount to learn and the only way to do it is through watching and learning from someone who is well accomplished, going in blind would be inviting disaster.

fantastic reg. What i'd like to see more of from an educatioinal point of view is helmet cam footage of you attaching the slings.

you'd probably still end up going in blind because you will end up getting trained by someone who has never done any crane work.

Yeah, I have only three crane jobs under my belt, (Or is it two?) I have only used chains, my old boss is a expert at crane jobs,like Reg he has a uncanny ability at balancing limbs.

Very nice job Reg. A true Pro.

[Log-ologist]

Watching other people doing crane work is of great interest. I have never seen it done in real life. When I think of the advances made by this young profession in my 15 years of self employment its amazing. Much of what we do is based on the lessons learnt by the pioneers of arb and from those they taught. There can be few 3rd generation firms about. Methods and equipment in use now are a world away from what was in use 20 years ago. Using video to widen the awareness of new and complicated techniques is to be applauded.( unless your australian)

I think there is some form whitchcraft involved in the balance of those lifts
