Arb Students Win over £2,000 of prizes !!
Ollie Wall replied to ArbjobsNick's topic in Climbers talk
Will spiderjacks be alowed for the student comp? I appreciate not many students will have one? Thanks Ollie -
I've never had any problems with the imori... oh well although ive not used the SJ on anything else.
-
I use mine with Imori, works very well IMO, which I think is a very similar construction?
-
I'd go for sure, but I haven't got enough experience !!

David makes a good point, we have many 'cocky ones' on my course! and John to give you an idea... in the first three months of a level 3 diploma we lost 3 guys out of about fifteen, I think I fair few won't be back next year! Ollie

I think a lot of you are taring youngsters with the same brush! im still in my first year of college, and climb/ groundie for about three different firms. I did have a little bit of industry experience before I started but not all of us are work shy!!!

I new I couldnt be the only one doing this!! aha I just use an old snap gate crab so it doesn't really mater about it getting knocked about.

Is this tree Normal or a ticking bomb?
Ollie Wall replied to Parametrics's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
I agree with Hama I can't see why a tree officer would object to a tree in this much decline being dismantled under the dead dying and dangeous claus! although they may want you to replant? Ollie -
Before I changed to a spiderjack, I used Boa which works well with a hitch climber set up on imori. Ollie

Ollie Wall replied to timtree81's topic in Picture Forum
:thumbup:Looked like I really fun job!! would love to have a go with a crane one day!! -
I did hand held most of the stem, but for the top i lowered because it overhung a garage on one side and a greenhouse on the other.
-
I did consider the use of a MEWP, but decided with the opinion of other more experienced arbs that the tree was safe to clib and rig from. the stem it self did have a cavity of rot inside however the unions of the pollard were sound and there was no evidence of rot in or around the top of the main stem. We also factored in that the force of the rigging would be distributed between the two stems thus reducing slightly the forces going through the main stem. Thanks for you concern and in the future if access allowed a MEWP may have been a better option, but with this perticular job I decided it wasn't nessesary. Thanks for the feedback Ollie
-
thanks for the comments:thumbup: Probably could have got it lower, but i didn't set it up and not experienced enough to know different.
-
haha, no worries mate
-
Cheers that was taken just as I was tying the block on, it did go round the stem luckily or it could of ended in disaster !!!!!
