Dangerous pops II

[Mark Bolam]

Follow on from original thread about manky pops in caravan park with 50-60' of regrowth on 20' stems.

 

Took 5 down yesterday using 22m truck-mounted MEWP. Ridiculously productive day all in all, fair play to main man seeing sense regarding safety. And realising it made much more sense financially in this situation.

 

Cord bust up and handballed out today. I will sleep tonight...

Good for you for sticking to your guns on the safety front and also for getting stuck in and getting some work out of the mewp whilst your man had paid for it.

 

You've let no one down and come home in one piece.

Nice one Mark. Not keen on big cherry pickers myself (always kak myself). But it's got to be better than hanging off a pollarded Pop.

How much was it to hire, and how high did it go?

I just went and saw 18 lombardy pops yesterday to give 30% reduction on and the thought hadnt crossed my mind to use one. these are pretty damn tall, 60-80 ft tall so would be keen to know the reach of a big on.

 

This would be for a site near the M25, near the M3 Junction.

 

And def want to see the pics!
