Hi all, I am a contract climber from Australia. Looking at getting a winch/friction drum. I work with a diverse range of companies at a lot of different skill levels. I wanted to get some outsider opinions on whether it would be worth buying a GRCS, Hobbs or a winch we sell in Australia very similar to the Hobbs called a THS (total height safety) friction drum. My main question/s are time and teaching related. Obviously the GRCS takes a bit more training for people to understand but when you have a good rope man it can be very efficient. Also a lot more risk in terms of price and damage. Price 6k With a Hobbs a very robust and simple unit. Less lifting capability but it’s still there for pretensioning and smaller lifts. And a lot less risk in terms of damage. Similar price to get to Australia. last is the THS fairly similar to the Hobbs but a lot cheaper for me to get here almost 2k difference. We generally aren’t lifting branches often but have had a few jobs where it would have made a huge difference. what are the contract climbers using? And what have you found best for you? I appreciate your time! thanks heaps!

Hi all - I'm looking for a bit of extra work in / around Walton-On-Thames area. Don't mind travelling a bit but not too far. Contract climbing or groundwork. I'm a fully qualified arborist over from New Zealand. Full climbing kit and PPE with me. Own vehicle and I'll be picking up a saw or 2 soon. Have NZ tickets from basic chainsaw operation and maintenance, climbing and aerial rescue through to advanced rigging and close approach utility (powerline) work. Experience doing a large range of work from residential pruning and removals to large scale land clearance, commercial work and utility arb. If you need a hand one off for a day or 2 or even something a bit more regular, I'd be keen to hear from you. Cheers, Sean [email protected] +447917291972

I have CS's 30, 31, 38, 39, 40, 41 and chipper, also have high risk license, white card, rail card and police check. Been climbing about 5-6 years and have worked for a few of the large firms in Adelaide. Been a crew leader and all of them bar one. Have my own full climbing kit, rigging kit and a few saws.
