First Crane fell, pics and vid

[josharb87]

Tuesday was my first full dismantle with a crane, no instruction just made it up as i went along

 

36M (118ft) Elm in Carl Von Linnés Trädgård, Uppsala, Sweden, Carl V.L was the guy who developed the latin clasification for plants, this was at his private garden.

 

Big thanks to the ground crew who were faultless, and the crane driver.

 

Smaller pieces because of the tight landing zone. I was pleased, so to the boss, free lunches from a nearby invitation only restaurant, and as a bonus, boss is paying for a night out for my girlfriend and I

 

Enjoy

Just caught this on my way out.

Apart from that log at 6:10 josh it appeared the whole job went splendidly. Your first crane job, very well done....good balance an cutting:thumbup1:

You need to get your own personal slings and shaclkes really i.e. long, short with varied ratings. Again, great work, may it be the first of many.

I've not worked with a crane before (and prob never will!) but all looked to go well.

 

Mind you I was thinking about all that lovely elm half the time!

Nice one Josh mate, that one log was a bit scary but all went perfect. Nice to see what Sweden looks like without snow!
