Poplars with crane

[RC0]

Some poplar trees we removed just recently.

 

Not all the trees on the site could be craned as we couldn’t quite reach the furthest ones. The techniques are pretty standard stuff. The wind might have been a real problem had we not had so much air-space, and the fact that it was blowing the limbs only to the side and not away from the crane.

 

Yes I know about the left handed stuff in the second vid, but sometimes the safest and most stable work position outweighs the other. Thanks

Nice job reg that looked pretty intense in that breeze!! liked the balance on the second vid at around 2:20 not sure how it worked but looked a good trick to have in the bag!

Good vid, just wondering what the distance was from the crane to furthest tree, looks quite a reach in the vid?

Thanks

 

The song was by Aussie band Crowded House, Distant Sun. You never know with youtube whether it'll get blocked until you upload it. While quite a few of mine have, others, while still an infringment of copyright allow you to run it but advertise the track on your vid via Itunes.

 

The crane was about 28m away, or there abouts, give or take.

Makes me broody for my first crane job

 

Might be a bit of learning curve
