Beech take down

[Rupe]

I drop onto the winch a lot, sometimes we never take the bollard out with us. Recently we took it out and my groundie decided he prefers it so now we take it more.

 

Basicaly the winch can take it, but if your gonna be constantly dropping onto it then you should switch to the bollard.

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.

I find it a lot harder to lower smoothly on the winch, the bollard is much better for letting the piece run. Or maybe im just rubbish at lowering.

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!

 

nope, not seen it before. Very cool.

You should spend a bit more time on the ground squirrel.

 

TBH I very rarely get to do some lowering, I'm always the one in the tree

I really enjoy rigging on the ground. Swinging big bits around, dropping them like a stone, stubbing off big chunks and shaking the climber off his perch etc.

 

No-one wants me to stay on the ground though. I have a portawrap, I'v showed numerous groundies how to use it, its got plenty of wear showing, but I'v never lowered a single branch on it myself!
