I'm to heavily invested to move. Honestly, there isn't much offered for good companies. The ones looking for help are ones no experienced climbers want to work with, and for good reasons.
I've just enlisted myself with another crane OP. He's ''rammy and jammy,'' my quote, to the point of being...
I'm good with it all.....
The company isn't going to last in IMHO. Dude's the 3rd owner and a fresh contract to buy it out.
There is no maintenance on any of the equipment. The chipper hasn't even seen any grease all season.
I've begun to think, with reasons, this is a laundering business...
A friend, also a contract climber, have been using this one 80' elevator.
Truth be told, we shouldn't be. Service on this unit is currently non existent. Doesn't even seem to have seen any service for some time. The zerk fittings in the end of the boom look like they would need work just to...
I loved that post because I often said that myself. With humor and sarcasm as announced to my friends.
I sincerely hope @Boomslang was referenacing this in the same way. I always liked ole Boom. He was the first I had bought goods from on this site.
After rereading theses last few posts, I...
Most outfits I know do the same with scheduling. Tell the HO their job is 2 weeks out and give a call 2 days before arrival. Scheduling seems to work out best that way.
On another note.... Look! Up in the sky. It's a bird, it's a plane, no ...... it's a crane.
I concur with the overloaded boom. For such a small crane, that's easy to do when the tip height is stretched so far out. Projects a bad image to the good companies who use their head with common sense.
I can only imagine what the local competition comments are of Down to Earth......
I...
I know a guy that charged for dog crap in the work zone. He would also charge extra for raking tall grass.
Now I'll rad the article at the beginning of the thread.
No crane, no harness. He would some times just "free stand" on the rim of the bucket. For removing obstructing limbs that would interfere with a clean top drop. The top would be dropped while in the bucket. It would be a limb on in the top, threatening damage to a structure or catching another...
So OP, you speaking out now, in your thread, sharing what you know of this incident may prevent someone else from the same fate.
A foolish act or not, WE ARE NOT HEAR TO JUDGE. You shown evidence in your first posts you don't want him disrespected. None here will.
In fact, talking to us may...
Clipped in......not to bucket or the tree.
It was his show and, his truck.
I've preformed some practices deemed ''un safe'' by the book but, nothing like that.
