Tree Surgeon Helmet Cam dismantling MASSIVE Cedar of Lebanon with a Crane (Day 1).

[MrDemolitionking]

A couple of tips, the key to a step cut on a crane removal is to make them very close to each other, as near as to the point of matching up, the crane should not be allowed to snap your step cuts, this only pre loads tension into the cable and creates a huge shock load when the step cut does snap. Secondly, when slinging vertical and lateral limbs ensure they are slung so that when cut, the limb remains as much as possible in the position it started and the crane can smoothly remove the object.

@MrDemolitionking Thanks for the tips! Will be useful for next time.

Nice work boys. Looks a lot easier with a crane - the usual way I had to deal with trees like that was with rope lowering. Well done on a smooth operation.

The whole front of the tree snapped out from the weight of december's snow (2010). It crushed 3 cars parked underneath, and was left unbalanced. So unfortunately had to come down!

Tree was about 200 years old and dismantling means taking it apart bit by bit.
