The crane was only 30 tonne, we had ordered a bigger one but for reasons I now can't remember, didn't get it.

Our biggest problem was the requirement to keep the road open, so the crane had to be positioned at the furthest side and as a result was 'reaching' a long way to make the lifts. I dont think we could lift more than 3 tonne from that position so both the crane driver and I had to get busy.

You're right about the big chipper, unfortunately that particular firm didn't have one.
