sort of but its a secret till i win or lose the work. the competition may be watching! basically restricted access (by law) though so not much chance of a crane or winch. At 1200+vat per hour for the heli I'm looking for a bit of background info.

cool, there is a video in the video section of some heli rigging in action, looks blustery

at £1380 per hour inc VAT / £5.73 per hour (national minimum wage >22) = 240 people per hour, if they can walk 2mph & can carry 20kg they will move 4800kg 2 miles in 1 hour.

 

with 240 people you could easaly get a trailed chipper most places.

 

also 240 people would have more pilling power than most heli's

 

and you would still save £4.80 per hour
