Poplar Crane Removal

[Ian Flatters]

Working for James Hoddy today (testcricket01). Nice day a wee bit windy. James worked well and you can see he obviously took lots of note off Reg.

 

My highlight of the day was getting to sit in the crane operators seat and use the built in speaker system.

The last lift was at 2.3 T which set off all the alrams as it was on the limit. Took the last lift very slowly as it was hanging less than an inch off the building. The crane operator was gold really good and a nice chap too.

 

Glad i didn't have those last lumps up my yard as we cut them to 1T-ish blocks and lifted them onto the trucks rather than cut them up.

 

I must say again James did a fine job being his 1st solo crane job.
