Crane Dismantle Cost

[Mesterh]

A very, very rough idea of cost is £500+VAt a day.

I'll get onto a couple of crane companies on money and get a site visit sorted.

 

the last crane job that we did cost £986 per day for an 80 ton crane - this allowed us to lift up to 1.25 tons 35 meters away from the crane , BUT my honest advice is get someone on who has done a crane job before , there is alot that can go wrong and unless you know how to set the slings up for specific lift situations then there is a real chance it is goging to take you longer and you run the risk of a lift going wrong and trust me Crane drivers are not keen on lifts going wrong at all .

My honest advice is to get a climber in who has carried out cran work before , see how it is done and the methods used . this will save time and could result in you only needing a crane on site for half a day as opposed to a day - this in turn will save you money and sand you a better chance of winning the quote .

 

I hope this makes sense and i really do not mean to soun harsh and do not intend to put you down BUT crane work is some of the most tricky and dangerous work you will probably ever get to do in this industry .

where are you? i'd climb it and lob it:thumbup:

 

as long its not the M4

 

How about the M25 then

Beat me to it Barrington.

 

I'd factor in £600+, depending on crane size required.

 

Bare in mind if you want to make a crane pay it's way you need some serious kit and crew on the ground....

Good advice Dave.

Great advise. And I do not under estimate the potential for something to go wrong. I think I'll call my good mate who got me into tree surgery and has done plenty of crane dismantles to come in on the job. I'd really love to do a job like this though.

Shows the size and the MAIN road behind. To the right is a nice area for crane and processing. Timber is being left and only small brash chipped and left.

as much as pictures are not alot to go by i would say that if you have access to a big chipper (9 inches minimum), three decent groundsmen , a couple lorries to take timber and chipawayand someone who has experience with crane jobs then that tree should only take a morning to get down and maybe the rest of the day to clean up etc , this would give you time and a chance to have a go at crane work whilst under the watchfull eye of someone experienced .

 

Hope this helps

looks like it can be felled no??

Put more pics up if you do it mate, and good luck with the job.

 

Wait for the comments about how it doesn't need a crane, I'd have it down in a morning cut and chuck etc.!
