Sorry Reg, I don't know what happened our facebook page used to be viewable to people who don't have an account.

Yeah I can view the page thats linked, thanks. Massive investment, I hope it works out.....and here's me begrudgingly toying with the idea of splashing out on a new climb-line.

I dont do many crane jobs myself, but I used to.

Would love to see a vid from the crane-ops pov. If you ever have the time to set the camera up, especially in the big one, that'd really be something.

Looks great. Nice job on Facebook making it clear that you can pick problem trees without having to cut a path to get to them.

I know it sounds strange to hear that from a company that just bought a big removal tool but it is something that really bothers us. We hear it all the time from customers who have dealt with some of our competitors. There is one guy in our area that targets the elderly, he reminds him of the child who was killed a few years ago while trick or treating in NH when a tree fell on him. This guys actually tells people that they need to cut all the trees down on their properties before they kill their grandchildren or the other kids in the neighborhood. Companies like that are awful for our industry

And i thought we had scumbags up here. I guess it doesn't matter where you go.

The crane is big and slow, but on the right jobs its amazing, now the challenge will be to find enough of those "right jobs" to keep it working

 

[treecareinc]

Wow! I have never seen any crane removal quite like that. What did the pieces weigh?

at 175' we were taking 2000-2500 lb picks, tree came apart very smooth

 

[Treezybreez]

Impressive for the boom being out so far.

Crazy boom angles!

Do u need a seperate truck for the counterweights?

By slow do u mean slow over the road from job A to B, or slow operating?

Yes we do need a separate truck for the counterweights . They do not all fit .

All of the above as far as being slow

 

[classictruckman]

Slow is good as long as it's doing enough to make the payments
