poplar tree crane removal

[Adam Bourne]

I think what a lot of people miss interpret when a crane is involved and say why did you need a crane?? To be honest it was by no means a small tree, lots of wood, thanks to the guys who work so hard on the floor we never even had to do any tidying up on the floor at all, we didn't start till after nine due to parents and kids walking by to school, and we had left site at 3 with only the big timber left to be picked up with the hiab and lorry. The inconvenience to the home owners was limited to that time only and not 2/3 other days of rigging sawing and clearing up brash and wood... They are worth there weight in gold. Never underestimate what you can do in a day with a crane. Work smart not hard guys..

 

Very good day and great to catch up with you James, Gareth and dan.

 

Ill post up some photos a little later and a little video from my perspective also nice video mate enjoyed it

Great tree for a crane!

 

I have some negative sounding questions but they're not supposed to be negative, genuinely interested

 

Are you deliberately setting up the lift for the branches to move away from you as soon as the last cut releases the section?

 

Do you/why do you seem to prefer doing the top cut first? I ask this as p prefer the opposite! In my mind I like to do the under cutfirst so once the saw is out, the weight can be lowered so te cut almost closes, then too cut in at an angle untill it is adequately stepped, saw out, reposition if needed, then signal for the lift

 

Sometimes it looked like the second climber was in a bit of a dodgy area, or is this camera angle?

 

Thanks

Hey josh

 

Work position for me was fine mate, well out the way on every cut

 

If I'm honest I like to just cut straight through, as long as I make sure there's no shock loading on the crane then it can swing away all it likes.

Good job guys

[Ross Smith]

I wish crane work was more feasible in this country as it's way more practical with most bigger trees in terms of speed.

The smallest saw up the tree in NZ with that tree would of been a 441 crane size pending

Nice work chaps

i also like to cut straight through but sometimes the pieces roll etc making it difficult to cut or nipping the saw so go in from the other side.

 

at some points adam was close but always in a safe place.

Very efficient work on a big tree fellas.

Love it.

[Countryside Services]

Great work, all paid and got to play with a crane, always great fun.

[Ross Smith]

The kiwis would of done that tree in 6 lifts maybe less
