Price up?

[Matt McAulay]

Need a bit of help with beasty the client has grumbled at quote so far and wondered what others might put on. Theres buildings nearly all the way round a power line and there right beside a river overhanging boats. drop zone is about 20 square feet. Any ideas?

[Andy R]

what is the spec.?

[Matt McAulay]

Sorry should of explained a little better he wants them down to about 15 feet high and really theres no chance of getting them lower as theres no way a stump grinder could get to all of them. Wants them down as they are starting to drop sizeable lumps of dead. you can never tell in photos so i will say these mothers are around the 80ft mark.

Agreed but watch out for logistics if you are shifting stuff off site. There’s a fair bit of timber there.

£1500 + crane hire for 1 day.

Where would you put the crane Ed? Theres a lot of line action going on in that pic.

[Mr Ed]

Hard to say without being there, but I'd squeze it in somewhere. The lines would have to be made dead anyhow, so you could work the boom pretty close to the cables.

I have had cables dropped in the past to get a crane in.

 

on that job, I would justify the crane to lift all the arisings out and plonk them next to the chipper. The labour involved in bringing it all out by hand after lowering, + the time involved in the lowering process would more than justify the cost of the crane. (for me! )

I'd be around 12-1500 but do it by hand with 3 men.
