Rigging technique ??

If you do run with your idea try and get it on video. Would be interested to see whatever the outcome.

Is a speedline totally out of the question so as to completely clear all the obstacles.

MEWP?

If you want your pully to stay in the same place, attach a prussic to the rope on each side of the pully. By the time you get to the crusial pieces lower down, you will have worked out where the pully needs to be.

What ever you do will involve a high degree of faffing, good luck and may the force be with you.

i can't wait to here of this disaster by Captain Calamitty. lol. just get up it and cut bits off and go home simples. if it is a small as i think it is, get one of those skip filling tube things and attach it to the tree and just chuck everything down the shoot. job done mate:thumbup:

there was a demonstration of something similiar at the trade fair on the satday afternoon, it commented highly on the excessive forces that would be exerted on the supporting trees, something that they were very concerned about to, id contact the company that did demo, was more so in reference to rainforest rescue or something,

 

was pretty cool and to be honest the system they used lends itself completely to this situ, id be using pallets ply board then brash mat it, total coverage and very time consuming, parents will be proud,lol

Some food for thought there chaps thanks.

 

Mark, it has crossed my mind to use the mewp as a crane mate

 

As long as I cut the pieces into 100kg lumps, no more and no shock loading, it would perform well.

 

Disclaimer: In no way do I condone the use of a mewp as a crane

[Mark Bolam]

2 lumps, job's a good'un!

This is what I meant about a sag in the rope, by letting it sag in the middle it makes the angles reduce and also lateral forces turn more into vertical forces which the stems will stand

 

I'll give it a go just for the hell of it but I'll set it up with the mewp because of all the faffing about, thats if I can get the mewp close enough

[Stephen Blair]

if you can get the mewp in then why not just use the mewp?? are you making mountains out of mole hills again deano?
