It was a big week last week and looks like this week is going to even bigger with the amount of trees to be processed after todays little effort. Four trees craned out of awkward spots, we were climbing, rigging and cutting most of the day 7hrs and with the help from our good mates at Allstate cranes had a lot of fun along the way....we only had time for pics of two of the trees but here they are.
Cutting the base using a step cut 90:10 after carefully thinking through the placement of the chains and the resulting movement in the tree as it is being lifted. Any adverse movement is being controlled by Stephen and the rigging line through a portawrap.
Lifting over the sheds
Placed gently on the other side
This second tree had even less room even more important to control the stem as we lifted her up also real concern over the tree inverting due to excess canopy weight. Again Stephen on the portawrap.
Not much room for error!
Nice work guys, now someone else process it ok?
