well i assume you have little experience climbing?? most companies would have you on the ground and send you up the odd tree here and there time/price depending. the first couple of years is a slow learning curve in my experience anyway.

Hi all, another Dave here. Bin watching the site for a while and thought i had better join in. Started in Arb many years ago before becoming lazy and moving in to horticulture now head gardener on a large estate near Banbury. Once a tree hugger always a tree hugger it just hurts more when you climb

Heyup Dave, Dave, oh and not forgetting Dave !!

[beaulah70]

Alright Dave's! and Dean

 

Sorry to change the subject, but seeing that spider on it's side on your user pic has really given me the willies, wot happened, was anyone hurt??

[Dean Lofthouse]

An hydraulic fault traced back to a faulty spool block which supplied the hydraulic cylinders on the legs.

 

To cut a long story short, it let me carry on going out without sensing that the legs where going light and whey hey, me and my passenger went for a 45ft ride.

 

He broke quite a few bones and I had whiplash across my chest and a massive adrenalin rush.

 

Not that I want to repeat the rush

 

I now never carry passengers

jeeez, so i suppose the HSE got involved? what did promax do about this. Im interested because we have just bought the 15.75 mtr spider, and have been very impressed so far!!
