• Cranes in tree work are becoming pretty common, all my mates are using them all the time.
    Depending on situation it’s faster, cheaper, safer and lower impact on the clients garden. Clean up on leylandii is endless and boring. Throw the lot through a 36” chipper straight from the crane, job done.
    Might not be as ‘manly’ but it def makes sense if you’re running a tree firm.

    Going up on the end of a crane and getting dropped at the top of a big crumbly poplar is always preferable to having to climb the damn thing.

  • I get you. And a poplar is not a fun climb.

  • Crane operator mentioned he was certificated for 'flying' a guy in. Depot in Dartford. When requested I gave him the easiest route back to A40/M25.

    Open back van was taking away a lot of big diameter logs, so the chipper wasn't a 36 incher.
