crane speed up!

[Arbdog]

Hi

I have just looked at a large Beech to take down, it doesn't have a large crown spread and I can dismantle it without a crane but there is a large amount of heavy timber up to about 20ft. I am inexperienced in crane work! how fast and and easier will it make the job?

What are you going to do with the tree once it's craned? If you're going to load it straight on a lorry and away then it will save a bit of time, if your going to ring it up and hand load it onto a transit then not much.

 

All depends on the access to the tree really, if it would be a long nasty drag the crane will be a time saver, if itsroadside it's a bit pointless.

Dealing with 20' of heavy timber manually doesn't sound like it would take a couple of blokes more than a day, so it would be cheaper than a day rate for a crane, unless it is awkward.

 

What do I know though.

 

I'm fairly ininexperienced....

[Rupe]

That would be un-inexperienced!

[Arbdog]

Well be negative all you want!

 

Customer wants all timber logged up and is staying one sit.

 

I may have been wrong in my question in the first place, How justifiable is a crane financially and how fast does it speed the job up on average? (despite all trees are different ?)

 

Average take down time reduced by? as your not going to have a crane to take down a small tree!
