    Quick Edit, cottonwood removal with 55 ton

    Here is a quick Video Edit from a pretty fun crane removal our team did last week. We’re in Minnesota and this job site was on an island on Lake Minnetonka. Basically a brand new 55 ton crane and as always, landing zone was a little tight. Some rubbing but no scratches on the new iron! We’re...

    Bolt on Gaff Ascender

    Im having a really hard time finding a bolt on foot ascender for spikes. Something similar to the Buckingham hook and grab. I don't like the CT quick release design because I'd prefer to have the ascender behind the gaff, as opposed to on top of it. Looking to mount on an old set of Kleins...

    Canopy Achor, Jam Knot on Pinto

    It’s very cold outside and I’m stuck in thinking about climbing. Also, in the process of weening myself off of the delta link a bit. I don’t generally ascend SRS just to switch to MRS. However, we’re all aware of situations where that could be a benefit. Also, considering options that are...

    Linden Removal Video

    A short edit from a linden removal earlier this summer. Spent a couple hours in the tree at the end of one day, and these clips are from when I returned the next morning to finish. Didn't have my camera on the first day, which is too bad because that's when I was doing the funnest rigging...

    Storm Work Compensation

    I work for a newer company, not the owner, and we're having a hard time getting people interested in weekend storm work. If it's not too proprietary, I'm interested what other companies offer for compensation and what kind of response they get from their production crews. I see storm work being...

    Tagged Spider Leg Slings

    I work for a pretty young company and we are working on developing a relationship with a local crane contractor. The employees at my company have limited experience working with cranes so we payed another arborist whom we often work with to show up at this job and treated it as a training...
