Cherry picker needed, Brighton for an hour!

[Pedroski]

Hi all.

 

Not sure if anyone is working round these parts who might be able to assist with something in passing - and make some money at the same time!

 

We have one awkward limb on tree that we need to get to, and it can't be climbed. Access is very good - all private road, and it's a reach virtually straight up. Had thought about climbing tree in neighbouring property to access it, but even then we can't get the height. The job is literally bringing the end of the limb back 3 metres or so and will take half hour max. Problem is that the hire firms we have called are wanting to hire a vehicle out for a day.

 

If anyone might be able to help, or knows someone who possibly can, please PM me.

 

Thanks kindly

 

Pedro

How high is it could you not get a local farmer to put you up there from a telehandler ?

I'm sure you've got this covered but why can't it be climbed? Is at a legal access issue?

Might be bit high. Guessing 15m but will check for sure tomorrow. Good idea though, but it's in town and I think a telehandler might startle the townies!

Climber didn't want to go too far out on a flaky limb with nothing higher to tie into. He's going soft in his old age, mainly around the middle. I'd do it myself but the fella I work for doesn't pay me enough and he'd rather get a MEWP in for 3m of wood

[Dean Lofthouse]

The only way you,d get a mewp for an hour is if someone was using one that day and did it on their way home.

 

Getting my mewp out, preparing it, checking it etc takes half a day sometimes and then you have the trip to and from, the setting up and then it's to put away again.

 

Your going to struggle to find someone that will only charge you an hours rent

 

Just get a few more Jameson poles

[Pedroski]

Hi Dean. Yep, I realise that. Cheapest quote the bloke I work with got for cherry picker/platform truck was £500 though so looking at other options. Long pole won't be any good as we can't drop the wood off the end. I reckon it might be better to hire a platform for a day when we can sort out another job to do with it.

road tow tpye from jackhire might just do it. our local one is about 150 plus vat
