crane dismantle

[taz.horses]

Decent lowering rope- splice on crane end or bowline.

timber hitch the other end

cut a few testers- if the bells ring in cab too heavy !!!

 

wont learn till you do it !!!!!!!

 

Remember to keep the load balanced and not to many jerks ...

The nearest I have ever come to killing my self was on my first craning job, be careful and if you can (as others have said) get an experienced guy to work with you on your first one.

As Skyhuck says, i've also nearly killed myself doing a crane job & i've done quite a few now, you definatly need someone on the ground who is experienced in crane work to talk you through it,

Start small take your time and enjoy.

 

 

Just because its a crane you dont need to start lumping out huge bits!

that's very reasonable! compared to the £800+ anyway

[ecolojim]

price im guessing would vary dramatically depending on whose insurance, contract lift etc
