Thats a nice drystone wall as well !!

[Rupe]

Ha, yes it would have cost more to repair the wall than the job was worth, hence no "drop it on a sunday"!

Have you not seen that before? The truck was used in the Arb challenge at the AA trade show. Got a lot of comments about the shelf!

crane

[Rupe]

I see what you've done there, very subtle.

[Rupe]

Read the first post crane nerd!!!!!!!!!

 

As usual, no cranes, my only competitor for this job wanted to use a crane and block the neighbours driveway with it, but I could tell the client was not happy with this so was looking for an alternative method.

 

I sold him on our method of "slowly but surely" rigging and clearing as we go, and calculated a price to be as close as the other comapany as possible. So we got the job at a very good rate and with no time pressure, only the weather to worry about.

Rupe, do you ever drop onto the winch or do you change to the aluminium bollard for lowering if theres a small drop

 

In other words does the winch take a bit of shock loading ?

 

I ask because the one I am making is only held on the aluminium back plate with six little screws
