There have been unconfirmed reports that the grab managed to pick up Al`s wallet.

Wouldn't be difficult as it's empty now!!

I appreciate the grab and crane can take the weight, I just don't trust hem to stay closed! You know where you are with a strop.

I find 2 leg chains with shorteners very useful. Easily checked/tested too.

Lorry did well today. Had a couple of 15ft high conifer trunks to remove that were covered in ivy, and grind the stumps out.

 

Trunks were reachable with the grab so went to grab it, colleague was going to cut through at the base, as I put some tension on it the whole tree started lifting, stump and all! That saved a couple of hours.

Brilliant...it's making money Al. I agree with what Firestorm said about the 2 leg chains and shorteners.They are very useful

What size chain and length do you have. Looks like I need 13mm as hiab will lift 7t close in.

I use a firm called "Handy straps" in Plymouth I think.

£150 ish for a 2 leg 3.5 ton 6m with shorteners delivered.

Couldn't find anywhere cheaper. Very helpful on the phone 01752 390390, tell them what you want and they'll advise accordingly.

I've just had some polyester slings delivered from Handystraps! Was looking at their chains this morning.👍 I was looking at 4m ones though. Do you use the full 6m often?

Hi Al

Yes I've used the full length (ooo er!) several times.

For most cases the full length is surplus but it's there when required. With the shorteners you don't even notice.

However my crane is only 3.5 ton.

Your heavier lift will obviously have implications on the weight of chain.
