I've got 100 on their way to me at the mo. The only ones in the country at the moment are for ground use so I'm holding out for the climbing version

 

Correct me if I'm wrong??

EN 397 Ground use

EN12942 Climbing use (side impact)

I think you have the wrong standard and the wrong helmet.

These are to EN14052. The standard you cite is something to do with respirators.

This is the climbing version. This helmet doesn’t have a “ground use” version.

They are also made in the UK so if yours aren’t in the country (imported) it’s definitely a different helmet.

It has a 100jule rating on the crown and 90 joules of lateral impact protection on the sides.

For those of you who don’t like the ninja black/darth vader job, it’s available in orange, yellow, white, blue, red and to special order, photo luminescent (glow in the dark).

You could get one free in the next arbtalk raffle

Mine has a retractable visor that comes in three colours and is replaceable.

The device in question is a damper. It’s a cylinder of inert gas under pressure that allows a load on the linkage to “float”. This means that as the vehicle hits a bump on the road the arms move and take some of the sting out of it for the linkage.

If you can’t find a Mog unit they are plentiful in the agricultural world. They are on tractor linkages, loaders and side arm flails among others. If you get stuck I have a used one you can have FOC but you will need to get it picked up.

Fitting is simple enough. I can give you DIY instructions or any agricultural engineer/hydraulic engineer will do it for you.

Your LA tree officer wants a quiet life. He wants contractors that will shine and show him in a good light to his superiors and elected officers. Provide that and you are half way there.

You are going to need to show competence in your work and a documentary audit trail.

You could start with a covering letter requesting consideration for council contracts and include supporting documents

Your documents should include

Insurance

Copy of generic risk assessment documentation

Copy of generic method statement

Copy of health and safety policy

Current LOLER inspection

Waste transfer licence

Goods vehicle operators licence (if applicable)

NPTC competencies

Formal qualifications

First aid qualifications

Details of referees, preferably from similar successfully completed contracts.

Follow up the letter with a phone call or hand it in personally. Be prepared for an assessment visit to a working job.

If you need help with the H&S paperwork you can PM me

I have been running a 4mix "death on a stick" pole pruner on standard stihl oil since it was new and it's stil rocking on after 2 years of ocasional use.

There are 2 things to consider in selecting a compressor, pressure and free air delivery (FAD)

Most reciprocating (piston) machines will run up to about 150 PSI which is plenty for blowing out filters, inflating tyres and the like.

The air delivery part is where most of your cheap machines fall on their face. They struggle to run impact wrenches, random orbital sanders and the like.

The size of the receiver will give a little more endurance on higher demanding kit but the refill time is longer so you spend a lot of time waiting.

The daddy of compressors is the “hydrovane” type. They are quiet, real quiet. I can have a normal conversation next to mine while it’s grafting hard.

For a small treework shop you can get away with an 60/80l receiver with the biggest FAD you can affod.
