Rigging Large Wood

[Alegretreeservice]

Sorry had more video but my sd card was bad in my cam, didn't realize it till later

We logged down 3 sections like one in this video, that one is the only one that bounced

The log weighed over 3,000 lb. piece of oak, if I had one of my guys control the speed the rig would of been shock loaded: For every foot a

falling object falls it gains a unit of weight plus one.Tree removal of a large Oak, Rigging Large Pieces of Wood - YouTube

I don't really understand what you've gained hear, if your worried about shock loading why not tie your pulley up so it sits as close to the gob as possible, cut a narrower gob and put a half hitch just above it, you'd be able to take a foot of falling distance out of it by doing that. Also why lower it atall when it's hitting the ground at that force? But I like you mewp, makes pushing big stuff over easier when you can get right to the top of the piece!

I put a rope on it to slow it down. The guy was anal about his lawn etc etc, it was more for his appeasement. It was a good time to test out this rig

price the job for a crane then seemed a lot of hassle for little gain if any did you grind the stump out as well

$6200 American job took 2 days I picked up the remainder of the wood with my log truck. In the last three months there have been 3 crane accidents so I'm not to confident in the operators around here anymore

As soon as we moved the bucket truck and parked it on the street a lady ran head in to my bucket truck totalled it out so after I grab a new one I have to go back and grind it. Really messed my week up
