  1. Which makes it unsuitable for the task does it not? static line is obvious choice for such a span as other lines would have to be overtensioned
  2. My misunderstanding.
  3. An angled cut could also shock load the crane, if it was undertensioned and the piece slid off. Not good
  4. That is stunning. thanks for sharing
  5. Hope your kit is CE marked!!!!!
  6. all bar one are on the same page Andy. The confusion is BS
  7. I think that on this issue that you are incorrect. The precident you are setting, through your inspecting of such items, could have strong legal ramifications if a worse case scenario was to ccour, for yourself and perhaps others.
  8. looks like the vid is about 15 or more years old. look at the saws/kit etc
  9. Do not move to Yorkshire!!!!!!

  13. you could always explain that in your post. but hey i know jack about nothing so ignore me
  14. on short timber lengths, close to the ground yes. But in the usual rigging scenarios irrelevant

  17. for what use?
  18. That did not sound pleasant Angus. When I worked for a few weeks with Derek Brazel in OZ (Glen Innes area) I learnt alot about bees. He was VERY allergic and we had to plan the route to the nearest hospital for each work site. I also noticed that bees are far more common than here in the UK, where they are seldom an issue on the work site
  19. It's not a definitive piece of research. However as an indication of generic rope behavior it is relevant
  20. 123 views and only 2 comments............ I guess predicting the percentage strength loss in a rope, when knotted is superfluous knowledge
  21. Another article- Knot Break Strength vs. Rope Break Strength
  22. Understanding Cutter Teeth On Pro Saw Chain
  23. Where in the system whould you put the dynometer?
