Beginners guide to rigging.......

Oh I see. Yeah it would be nice but nothing to touch the deck without a rope on it unfortunately. It's going to be a nightmare. The job is in about a month so I will let people know how it goes once done. Thanks for all the input

Any suggestions on what rigging gear to get for my 1st set

1- a rigging rope (sirius super good, cheap, easy to splice)

2- a nice crotch over the piece you cutting (a small/medium pulley or rings)

3- a fat groundie

 

It depends a lot what you usually do.

Hi

 

If this helps, for my first rigging kit Im considering:

 

Fairly decent sized pulley block 100/150Kn

16mm Sirius rope seems well spec'd at reasonable price

dead eye slings, rigging plate & couple of steel crabs

Stein bollard

 

I would add 'an ability to predict the outcome of your cuts & appreciate the forces involved' My rigging/slinging knowledge was acquired in the engineering world, sometimes involving several tons & as someone previously mentioned you'll always be learning...

It never went ahead in the end. The neighbour was too concerned about his lawn and the guy I working for had to put more on the job when he realised how careful we had to be and the customers didn't like that I guess.

To be honest the job was an accident waiting to happen so I'm kinda pleased it never went ahead.

Suppose sometimes a job is not worth the hassle! Cheers for replying.

To be honest mate when I saw the tree and the price, I'd have put 4 times the amount on it at least. It was a hell of a tree and one even with the right cash on it I would have still not been happy. With a good drop zone it would have been fine it not fun. But if trees were all in the middle of fields I doubt many of us would have a job.
