night time crane work

phill ellison · 5th August 2008, 09:58 PM

here some photos of a crane job we had to do at night time during a bad storm we had here in NZ, it involved with a large limb nearly broken off , it was about to fall onto the nextdoor house ( could of done major damage

). it had to be the most difficult job I done in long time as it been dark I could not see what I doing and when looking down I had flood light blinding me( couldn't bloody win ) and not seeing how much weight I had for the crane to lift. we got down to a safe level then tied it up to be finish off the next day

Good work Phill, Must have been scary not being able to see what your doing properly. Got it under control and left it to the morning.

Good stuff, you sure get a few crane jobs!

that was the first time, as that big limb was about to threatening that house under it, when we ordered that crane it was just getting dark ,then by the time the crane arrive, it was very dark and it was a job that has to be done even though it was very stormy. I have done some night time works before but not with a crane
