Yes, I need a crane. Well, maybe not need but I am looking for someone to help with jobs from time to time. I would call around here but I think most crane guys won't touch tree work cept for that crazy guy with the old beat-up one.
I actually don't think I can compete by contracting the crane like this but am interested in knowing if there are guys out there willing at least to talk. I don't want to get anyone involved in something without talking first.

Sure you can, schedule 3-4 big removals on the same day, and MOVE the crane around, just picking em apart. Get a big one, too. 60 ton +. make sure you got 2 climbers and at least 2 good guys on the ground.
then clean up the next day, or chip behind with extra guys. But move the crane.
Been my trick for years, I'll lease one in a minute when I can get the work.

NEWSWANGER Crane service, from Lancaster County or Farmersville crane from Lancaster county also. Both have experiance with tree work and and are very easy to work with. Like was said before try and schedule a few jobs in the same day to pick apart then go back later and finish the clean-up.
Farmersville phone # (717) 354-3105
Newswanger crane phone # (717) 859-5550

Oh I miss that truck. Sure tell Rick Mr. Ben is looking for some help with a crane. He knows where I am at by 7 stars.
Man, you are hanging with Rick's guys? Don't let your guard down and that is all I am gonna say bout that. Nice people though, like to bicker for sure.

No, I am not looking to own a crane, thanks just the same. I don't have the work for it all the time.
Bauman Crane out of Chalfont.

They have several tree operators, and are very reliable. 23 and 36 ton cranes.
Pete (the crane man) also is excellent, he used to work for them. I don't have his number handy but I'm sure someone here does.

Yes, and I have worked with Bauman once or twice but over in Bucks County and I know its a good hour and a half ( at least) on the road one way under harsh traffic conditions. Its a brutal commute.

Dan, I have a guy that would be perfect for you. He's top notch and owns his own crane, specifically for tree work. I will give you name and number if you call me, 484-576-9800
He used to work for a big main line co and then bought one of their cranes and had it respooled and he specifically does tree work with it. He subs himself out to different guys like us in the area.

Actually that sounds good and I will give you a ring but now I am looking for some help in other areas too. If you want to get together I have some decent paying jobs lined that I could use another well rounded pro on. If you are interested in some work let me know.
