Anyone tried one of these?

Iv'e got a fallen a oak to remove from a garden soon, and it is down some steps in a lower part of the garden.

 

Would need to be cut and dragged out by hand....

 

 

 

...unless I hire one of these babies:biggrin:.

This fits through the side access into the back garden, and will lift 250kg at full reach of 19m, should be enough for a few branches at a time. It is £500 for the day, but should get the tree out in a fraction of the time, especially the trunk, and should be a lot of fun as well:thumbup:

Cool bit of kit,for the money I would look at a full on crane.

£500 for a day ! u could get 5 subbys in for that day !

Find 10 local lads and pay them all £50 each and say come and give me a hand dragging this lot out! Will be done even quicker.

Where the tree is, is too restrictive for a lot of people to be working near each other.

 

A chainsaw will only cut so fast, and with this the trunk can be cut into larger sections thus saving time and mess.

 

This particular crane is probably too big, but a slightly smaller one is £300 for the day and would do the job just as well.

 

There is not the access for a full on crane, but these will fit through 1.5m gaps.

I would go in drop the lot then gang it

Who hires that out Al? I'm in Surrey too.

I love stuff like this and have two jobs booked I could use that for!

Good find.
