Here you go Nick...

 

the job was about 4 years ago, I think. The yellow one was a 50m mobile tower crane and the red one a bit bigger at 60M.

I was wondering the other day why towers arnt used as much and just put it down to maybe taking longer to set up hence needing to be at a job for a while to justify it as in construction sites. What was the reason for using one rich just because of height?

[Rich Rule]

The only reason the tower was used was for reach. No other crane could do it and the road outside was too narrow for a conventional crane and the other side of the trees was network rail land. Plus they are very expensive. Especially that size. I think the red one was the largest in Europe at the time.

Rich, you are beginning to sound like a gobby cockney with your incorrect data about cranes.

 

There is a very good reason tower cranes are not commonly used in treework, and you know what it is as well as I do.

 

Cool shots, mind.

Plus they can't lift a lot... That what your getting at? Haha

[Mark Bolam]

Nah, build time.
