By 19 the Brisbane local realised she was going to have to 'find a real adult job' she  told FEMAIL, she had been exposed to some rigging in her circus years so decided to chase real-world certifications.

In this video, we’ll be examining the aftermath of last night’s storm damage on a majestic red oak tree. ISA Certified Arborist Wesley Rivers takes us through the scene, showcasing the impact of the storm on the tree.

Behind ISA Certified Arborist Wesley, we see a large branch, approximately 12 inches in diameter, resting on the roof of a nearby garage. Another branch, about 10 inches in diameter, lies on the ground beside him. Wesley explains that the top branch broke off during the storm, causing a domino effect, as it took down the branch beneath it.

“We’re starting to see a lot of growth in solar,” says Robert Henley, Vice President of Operational Excellence at PrecisionHawk. “We use drones to help monitor construction progress on new solar fields. We also do commissioning flights once a field is in play. We look at the cells with infrared cameras to see if any panels have any wiring errors or other failure modes.”

In the demanding world of arboriculture, your chainsaw can make the difference between a smooth job and a strenuous day. It’s not just a tool; it’s a trusted companion. As such, picking the ideal chainsaw is critical to ensuring your tasks are executed efficiently and safely. From professional arborists with years of experience under their belt, to seasoned lumberjacks, and even novices who are just dipping their toes into this world, a high-quality chainsaw can be a game-changer.

Did you know, palm trees are more closely related to grass than trees? That's why palms grow so straight and have flexible stems, just like grass! Due to these biological differences, standard tree pruning practices don't always apply to palms.

Improper pruning can damage your palms, costing you money and creating hazards in the long run. Read on so you know the top palm pruning DO'S and DON'TS to watch out for!

Durham Lifting, a UK-based provider of lifting and testing solutions, has recently invested in its testing capabilities with the acquisition of a 3,000t test bed.

The third Changsha International Construction Machinery Exhibition, held from May 12th to 15th, 2023, came to a triumphant close at the Changsha International Exhibition Center and Changsha International Convention Center. With the theme "High-end, Intelligent, and Green - New Generation of Construction Machinery," this exhibition showcased the latest innovations in the construction equipment industry.

Now on its fourth year, Global Lifting Awareness Day (GLAD) is a campaign established by the Lifting Equipment Engineers Association (LEEA) to raise awareness of the importance of safe lifting operations. This year GLAD will take place on July 13 to share information about apprenticeships, technology, sustainability and diversity, and best practices through #GLAD2023.

Stabilising wind turbine components during their installation is a major challenge for assembly crews. Two companies in Europe have pooled their engineering resources and come up with a solution. Dutch crane and engineering specialist Huisman and Spanish wind energy specialist Siemens Gamesa worked together to produce the Travelling Load Stabilising System.

A1A Software, the developer of 3D Lift Plan, has released ‘Rigging Designer’ a new application based tool for creating rigging plans.
The standalone application, available in the A1A Product Suite, provides detailed documentation for pre-lift planning, while also being easy to use on-the-go for planning in the field.

Faced with the threat of a collapsing scrubber unit, a power plant in New Jersey made an emergency call to Barnhart. A thousand miles away, another branch wrestled with how to remove and replace 12 reactor legs at a chemical plant in Florida. 

Throughout history, humans have found different ways to handle heavy loads to construct tall buildings. One key advancement that stands out is the evolution of the lifting crane. Hauling and moving heavy materials and cargo can be laborious and dangerous without this impressively massive tool.

To help prevent collisions on site AMCS Technologies was brought in to manage the interference between crawler cranes and tower cranes on a large and busy jobsite in the USA.

The French safety technology specialist said it is a world first that its DCS 61-S system is now managing interferences between the tower and crawler cranes. The cranes are owned by Maxim Crane Works.

A customer inquired about using synthetic rope on our 80-160 Crossover Crane. Custom Truck One Source has experience with synthetic ropes on our insulated and utility aerial products, but we had not installed synthetic ropes on lifting cranes before. However, recognizing this would be a good option for other customers, we decided to explore it further. 

Decisions by contractors or maintenance crews to use ground protection can be critical to protecting the ground around a job site and making projects more efficient. Without it, damage to the ground can stall future projects with repairs that chew up valuable time and resources. 

When a 120t gas scrubber, about 27m long, arrived at the ENAP Aconcagua Refinery in Chile, two companies wondered how they would handle their portion of the installation process. Their solution? Both called Engineered Rigging’s office in Santiago, Chile, office to develop a method for moving the giant gas scrubber.

OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) -- The Bay Area storm that toppled 900 trees and branches in just one day in late March is just a memory, but it is still keeping Michael Veneziano very busy.

"A bunch of trees fell from this slope onto the roadway," said Veneziano as he used a hydraulic lift to retrieve three large trunks from Shepherd Canyon Road in the Oakland Hills and load them onto his flatbed truck.

The first parts of the new SK60 6,000t ring crane will soon be delivered to Mammoet’s engineering nerve centre in The Netherlands. In the months ahead, fabrication and production will continue as it is being readied for its very first project, with delivery scheduled in 2024. It becomes the world’s highest capacity land-based crane, and can be fully operated using electric power, allowing clients to execute projects in a sustainable way.

The new fifth generation of Link-Belt’s established 218 series of lattice boom crawler cranes, the 218|V, made its debut at ConExpo 2023.

The 110-ton (99.79 tonne) capacity crane has a new design that Link-Belt Cranes believes will appeal to general contractors, crane rental houses, engineering firms, and owner/operator companies, just as its predecessors have.
