    Port a wrap oddity

    Im a firm believer in using either the proper amount of wraps or switching to a larger diameter rope for larger pieces. Larger diameter rope means more surface friction on the barrel. For instance one and a half wrap with a 5/8" rope might be the equivilant to lets say 2 or maybe 3 wraps with...

    sexy sixty

    I didnt have much of an opportunity to take much action shots until the trunk pic. Since the stems were cracked and split I thought the safest course of action was to use a 3/8 grade 70 chain, 3" rattcheting strap, and a 9/16"x30' amsteel sling rated at 30,000 lbs with a 7/8" screw pin shackle...

    I took us over an our to position and set up the sixty in the back yard. at some times there was only 3-4 inches between the crane and house and crane and garage.

    Brought a sixty ton into a pretty tight location on 7/9. We had been working at this residence for three alternate days. The original call was for two storm damaged leads that fell directly on the west face of his house. The client knew that the remainder of the tree still posed a elevated...
