MEWP or Climbing?

[Stephen Blair]

Depends on the mewp and operator , definately not Deans lift of death!!!

 

I'd rather be in the tree

Only if its decayed so bad that the tree is a ticking time bomb

 

 

Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.

Totally job dependent IMO.

 

 

For sure. Trying to make across the board generalizations is silly.

I've had an accident in a mewp but never ( touch wood) climbing. I also prefer the climb but use mewp when needed.

Over a 1000 hours use of it and it's only tried killing me twice, they do have their grumpy days, what's the problem!

Perhaps you should stop using her as a mewp then!

Its a balancing act, costs/risks/accessibility, MEWPS have risks associated as does climbing, would be interesting to see the stats for tree V's MEWP related injury.

 

depends on the job really, but I am getting pretty handy with a MEWP, its just a different way of working/thinking.

 

Another tool in the box, thats all.

Good for street trees
