Deadwooding Wellingtonias using 30m MEWP

[hazzygawa]

just thought i'd put this on as it is my 1st go. Climbers would go up in mewp and climb the restof the way, while a groundsman would lower mewp and move it.

Saves alot of climbing.

Nice tree and a nice MEWP! Yeah, sure does save a lot of climbing, they can be awkward to climb at the best of times with the weeping habit of their branches.

I want that MEWP!

 

Did you hire it in for the job? or does your company own it? Nice picture, excellent sense of scale.

I used a 30m to take down a 120ft lime years ago.

 

I put the mewp straight up in the air with a "brisk" wind and it was a test of the sphinkter muscles to say the least.

 

When you look dow at the footprint of the machine it's hard to comprehend how they remain upright
