    holy SHIT !!!

    Paul, Great job on reacting to the situation. I would also take care of the hole as it is good customer relations. As far as trying to place the liability/blame on the homeowner they probably didn't know either or they would have told you. The house might have been sold multiple times since the...

    Using a log grapple as a crane (lifting a standing bole)

    Some do have bypass valves though so if you pick too heavy a piece they will not hold and lower without control. This is to protect the piece of equipment.

    Using a log grapple as a crane (lifting a standing bole)

    If you are using a sling to attach it to the grapple truck where do you attach the sling? there isn't an attachment point for it. Is the sling rubbing the metal somewhere that could cause it to be cut. with the weight of the log metal can easily cut through a sling. The grapple is what should be...

    Struck by

    i did this last Sunday at my fathers. I was taking atop out of a white pine. I lifted the piece a few feet then climbed to stand on the cut to be more comfortable and see better while I moved it 180 to where I was setting it. There was a branch which was rubbing on the top that stayed. When...

    What’s the best Crane cribbing material

    So I have many different things I used based on the situation. On the truck every day I have 2'x4' sheets of 3/4 plywood These work well to protect the ground. side by side to make it 4'x4' then stack another layer or 2 in opposite directions offers stability to somewhat soft ground. I also...

    What’s the best Crane cribbing material

    I will add more later as I’m not home yet. Before you ask what you need for cribbing you need to ask a couple other questions. Why do you need cribbing? What are you trying to accomplish? Are you protecting turf or a driveway?patio? Or are you trying to stabilize the crane? Is the...

    Lifetime of hollow braid slings

    I would inspect the fibers. That will tell more info. Cycles to failure is not just for shock loading although shock loading severely affects it.

    11 seconds from the time the stem first started to move until the boom is on the ground.

    Anyone going to the Big Tree Pro’s Inc course in Knoxville?

    I have a couple comments regarding this topic. I feel it is inaccurate to say ISA or TCIA don't want you to be educated because they cost money. It costs money to run these organizations. If they are offering these trainings they have used time and resources which cost money. To join isa...

    Gerasimek's Tree-mek

    I don't think 50% of tree work will be done with these machines. Yes, Certain companies will use these to do the majority of their work with them. There are many more companies out there that focus on more care of the trees than the removals. It is an excellent tool and has its place in the tree...

    Hitching dead eye slings

    All three knots are acceptable for crane use. Cow hitch is easiest to untie under heavy loads. Running bowline is great... if you are finding it more difficult to use for length adjustment try using a 1/2 hitch first and tie the running bow lower on the pic. The clove hitch is great but can be...
