Big MEWPs

[Rod]

we had 34m bronto a few different times absouloutly brilliant

 

the one we use comes with the driver but he stays on the ground. that said he would come in the cage if we wanted. they also had a special cage that could be fitted to the bucket protect him (keep him seperate)

 

also he helped out when bringing branches off over a river by bringing the thing back over to the landing zone using the ground controls while we kept hold of the branches etc. very handy:thumbup:

 

you do need lots of space to park them though:thumbdown:

Had our 34m Bronto today, awesome bit of kit,

I managed to get four trees on the deck by two o'clock, I recon it would have taken at least 3 days climbing. 45 minutes of that was inspecting with an ecologist (she turned up half hour late aswell)

The close inspection allowed one to be felled, with the removal of some side branches of another.

Back home by 3, mop up tomorrow.

i'm sure it was on here where i saw a video of a massive german mewp that was built for building wind turbines. I think it was about 100m:blink:
