Willow reduction With a MEWP

[John Hancock]

and I can use both sides of the basket without squeezing past each other.

 

We quite like squeezing past each other, we’re all very close here in Worcester.

Nice shape at the end John. Nothing wrong IMO with mewps in the right place. Indiscriminate use is, well..indiscriminate.

[Dean Lofthouse]

Is that what you were doing when you tipped her over!!!

 

Funnily enough I was demonstrating the mewp when it fell over, I had finished the job, poor bloke who was in with me was only in it for the ride and one hell of a ride I gave him too !!

 

Just bear that in mind at the next APF when one of the mewp stands wants to give you a demo

I find our harness's catch John, a H&S hazard in itself and should be in your risk assessment

Is there a thread on that little story Dean, I'd love to read it if there is! We were fully extended over the river at one point and the tilt alarm went off. Not Nice!

Nice work tree looks pretty good

If the link works I think this one explains it.

See if you had only been one up it would have allowed you full outreach over the river with a safety margin to spare, I'll never go two up again.

 

Can you imagine explaining to the powers that be how the mewp and you ended up in the river

 

I never anchor onto the basket over water either, always unclip that way if you go over and under water, you are not trying to unclip from your anchor underwater
