Exactly that yes, it’s foolproof. I prefer rope slings but at a larger company like this with a language barrier between myself and some of the climbers I use the slings that I don’t have to explain how to use. I also have a set of chain slings that I sometimes like to throw on.
Pouring rain the whole time of course. Must be a nice gig Dillion has sitting in his heated and A/C’d glass cab..
*Dillions actually one of my best friends if you can’t tell, real piece of shit that guy.
My buddy and I have been provided Sena’s so we’re pooling our protos communicators and selling them as a set. These are $650 each new. All in original cases with their own chargers. Very well cared for and the older ones are less than 2 years old (and the bright green one was purchased 8 months...
Random work photos from a cemetery job. It’s hard to get pictures and operate a k boom that needs 5 simultaneous inputs so there’s no action shots.
Also our new 40124 that we just got, that’s my good friend Dillion who operates it, I don’t climb anymore but I did get my shit out and take the...
It’s delicate and repairs to the TTC system are costly.
The whole system even when operating properly and in adjustment behaves odd and unpredictable when cold and we do a lot of utility storm response where literally minutes count and sometimes I need to make a pick immediately. I can predict...
I run a small Jekko tracked K boom and have just recently gotten our 035 TTC with the hydraulic locking link out of storage with the hopes of being really useful on this new small machine but it has several caveats some of which were learned recently and some of which were learned before putting...
On storm and at odds with the army safety guy. I even purchased a digital copy of z133 from ISA since I don’t have my hard copy down here but it just directs you to OSHA Z87 and I’m spending my own money here…
Is a face shield required for ground saw operators who are otherwise wearing all PPE...
I have a complete Sena 10R for sale. Ready to install into your helmet. If you need them I can scrounge some 3M muffs to throw in.
This is the newer gray body / 3-prong battery / Bluetooth 4.1 unit called simply the “10R”. Not to be confused with the older black “SMH-10R” aka “ten slim” that...
Selling my electric 540 as a package only. My wife has another cancer surgery coming up in 14 days and I already exhausted all my PTO for the year taking care of her from the last one so I’ve gotta do something for money and this just doesn’t see much use anymore. Hate to sell it, when I need it...
Very interesting way to do the risers.
I’m a year into my Tree-Rex, plus I barely climb anymore, so I won’t need a new saddle for a while but it’s got my attention.
