Excavator Based Skyline Contacts?

[LGP Eddie]

I'm looking for someone with a top notch Excavator based Skyline setup for an unusual project I'm pricing.

 

Ideally 20 tonne plus base unit, as the main factor is the fully suspended load it can handle safely.

This will be a very strict job in terms of safety etc and the need to keep downtime to minimum, hence wanting someone running a really nice tidy unit.

 

The project will hopefully be mid summer, which will hopefully be a quieter time of interest for someone to bring one out of the woods for.

 

The project is in North Staffordshire, but obviously such a unit is going to be from further afield, and should be around two weeks duration.

 

Any recommendations/contacts much appreciated.

 

 

Eddie.

Ahh, shame you are so far away, I was working alongside a brilliant outfit the other day, remote controlled winch mounted up on the top of the boom of a 13 ton Doosan. pulling trees up an over a steep bank, never seen a setup like it but really was the tool for for this particular job. perhaps a bit small for what your after though...

There was a write up in the Forestry Journal a few months back, and the company had an excavator based skyline.

 

If i find it, i will send you the name

Duffy Skylining had a good write up in the FCA mag a little while ago.

I think you will be hard pressed to find one, as they are in high demand and are part of a bigger harvesting setup ( ie working alongside a harvester).

I know couple working Central Scotland but you're obviously bit far away. If struggling to find anyone you could try contacting A&B Services, Killin as they build them and may know of one local to you

Sure was! down near Camelford. had a hell of a pull on it, but I was surprised it doesn't put a twisting force on the boom being up that high.
