Working in Bristol city centre yesterday on a large Lime removal. X-rings getting a good beasting in a small drop zone.

Yeah great seeing the cranes in the background...two very different load handling scenarios in one picture!

What kind of loads can the x-rings take? Was looking in to buying them, seems a fairly simple set up. You got any pros and cons to say about them as opposed to a rigging block?

Any advice appreciated mate.

Also nice view of my hometown.

Pros:

-light weight

-can get a higher right point by sharing the load.

-cheap

-constant usable friction every time.

-controls stem wobble and less jerking.

-strong

 

Cons

-not midline attachable

-won't replace a pulley for every situation (pulling up) but most.

 

People can add more as they see fit.

Know matter how big or small your outfit, they'll find a usable place in your rigging bag.

I think you have sold them to me, I'll still have a block but they seem to be a useful bit to have in the kit bag. Gonna have to look in to splicing as well I guess.

Thanks for the input, have seen them popping up more and more, and figured it's time to get some advice on them.

Crane removal in Warrington. £2,800 inc vat.

Crane was £540, timber haulage £320.

For most of the crown we had one climber tying the chains and one cutting, three on the ground chipping.

Good pictures nailer. Big tree.

That's a good price Nick.

 

I did one in Middlewich yesterday for almost exactly the same, did the haulage myself though.
