Plenty of work!

How much do those big wheel, off off road cranes go for an hour?

Depends on the size. Plus trasportation costs.

The 17T is $65 per hr with travel time both ways.

The engineer is having us do the worst ones first. I got about 3/4 of the first biggest one today. We had to swing the jib, thats allways fun. We really need a 30 but getting it down the ramp or setting the outriggers is near about impossible.

Tommorows gonna be fun - 25* at 8 am.

I might have some pics later tonight.

Looks like you are gonna have fun for a while. Must be nice to not have to screw with all the little details, just to get it down (which is all a contract climber does, encase you didn't know).


Have fun!!

I cleared the way for the crane to manuver by first using the bucket attached to the crane, dropping the stuff.

You wouldn't believe the ricochets!

MB,
what kind of hitch are you using to tie into the hook???
DO you need to untie and retie it often throughout the day??
What a difference a spliced eye and biner could make....
Stay safe.....

 

[MasterBlaster]

Daniel, you know the hitch I use. I probably retied a dozen times today, no biggie - I luvs my short rope.

Spliced eye? Biner? What is this madness you speak?

OK MB,
How long does it take, in seconds, to untie and retie your climbing hitch???
