Background to the HSE decision on two rope working
Stephen Blair replied to kevinjohnsonmbe's topic in Training & education
I seriously can’t see the fuss about using another line, I’ve worked with 3 lines from 3 separate trees in the past for accessing dead trees, I often use 2 lines if the crown has no central leader, it’s great for fighting the pendulum effect. I think this is only going to effect guys who don’t like being told they ‘ have ‘ to do something. Piece of advice, central line long friction loop, offset line small loop. If you use mechanical then you have the ability to be progressive so you will fine.? -

Nice Duck and flail.

My first thoughts were he’d be wanting a motorway through all the little villages !?

Remember you need to get your lever in to undo the hitch, going by the above picture It will be tight to get leverage if your lever is straight and not a 90 degrees end. I often crown the flail right in for taking out polythene and for tightening/ sharpening the blades. Keeps it in nice and tight rather than at full stretch where it will gradually drop with the weight.

It’s a myth that you are free from liability on a personal level, the the claimants may just keep going until they get money out of someone. For any reason your ltd company insurance doesn’t pay out and they know you have assets of your own, then it all comes down to who has the best lawyer. Friend of mine had to pay a lot of money to a lad who got hurt when the LTD company insurance wouldn’t pay out as there was negligence from the employer. Quite right too imo.

Me daily when I owned it. Oil levels were all spot on at hand over. No leaks. There’s a few blanks in the story from his side, all very strange.

apart from some rust on the sills she was solid, sound proof cab and ran as sweet as a nut and never missed a beat ! So versatile with winch, tipped and hiab. Although I love my Isuzu, it’s only good for going from A to B in comfort, once it gets there it’s close to useless on a job site!

I know what I can do myself with my 3 tonner and wee shear and grab, your output will be amazing! 1 man 1 machine, job done! I’m wanting a shear for my 3cx, how do I get around the extra dig so I can use that as well as grab/shear Eddie.

What is the green hiab gizmo on the dock?

I don’t do revenge, he ripped me off and burnt out a 40 years old classic Mog for reasons I can not fathom. Just a strange character!

Just a narrow bucket, I’ll keep my eyes peeled for a ripper tooth though Dan.

Love this guy, his house is amazing!

Grafted double pop stump took a bit of wrestling!

I can only assume the details of the seized engine were omitted from the insurance claim!
-
Always an Itch for another Unimog, wish I hadn’t sold my little green 416 , especially to an idiot who seized the engine within 3 days and it mysteriously caught fire while charging the battery and owes me money! What are the chances???

She looks great!

No I use the front more, when I first got it, i planned on replacing it the next week, the more I use it the less I notice it tbh.
