Steve Bullman replied to Scott Farmborough's topic in Large equipment

-

very roughly...half a ton
-
im assuming the climber had to feather his line out whilst the crane moved into a position where it could lower the branch?
-
yep i can see it didnt look too great thats for sure!!!
-
nice pics Iain. i may be being thick here though....but i dont see how the climber can be anchored to the crane and the crane still able to maneouvre the rigged pieces????

the figure was ultimately irrelevant. the bbc were paying so they would have paid whatever the guy asked just to get some good tv. had it been real, its unlikely the customer would have accepted.. perhaps they should have got the customer to turn down the price to see if they had resorted to buly tactics?

thats a contentious issue that one. i rig the same for small to medium sized lumps. its not text book, but IMO most of the loading is in the half hitch......the speed and ease to tie, and for the groundies to untie makes it acceptable for me personally
-
not me. i have on the other hand oasked customers if theres any little extras they want doing as we've got done particularly early. thats rare though and depends entirely on how well the customer has treated me during my time there

im with a company simply called tree surgery insurance....but i had a couple of quotes, arbinsure offered this aswell...i can only assume the others will too
-
slightly off topic, as most of you know im a freelance climber, but do on occassion make use of a groundsman. i paid for my employers liability last year grudgingly knowing that id only actually be employing people for a few days of the year. didnt find out till this renewal, that you can actually cover yourself for a period of 50 days per year for employers liability. saved me a fortune on my premiums this year.
