Ecos crane vid

[RC0]

Here’s one from a job earlier in the year folks, where I did a one-off crane-job for a company called Ecos, a bunch of Lombardy poplars, easy stuff really.

 

The company mainly do work in woodlands and remote areas, hence the little tracked chipper you’ll notice. Nice bunch of guys though, everyone cool and relaxed throughout. Unfortunately much of the footage and as it turned out, my camera, due to the rain in the early part....but I still got enough to show some close-up cutting and lifting. Much the same stuff in other words. Its actually taken me until just recently to put the footage together. Thanks

Its funny seeing the small chippers after being spoiled with the big ones here. Good work Reg (see you soon for that pint!)

The occurance at 4.49 in Part 1 highlights why I'd never attempt a Lombardy crane removal.

 

Thanks for posting Reg and thanks for including that clip.

They also own the biggest Heizo you can buy,

Tim, that was just the stabalizers popping their attachments as the peice was layed down. The main load bearer (choker) was actually set on much thicker wood further down. The only bad thing was that the crane got jerked around a little as the weight got transfered as shown in the clip....although at such a close distance and with that particular crane its storm in a teacup really.

 

Ben, I look forward to it.

cheers for the explanation Reg, looking forward to seeing that Oak vid.
