We don't have the right personnel for explosives in the city - the other company that bid proposed it but were shut down by city engineers

after a quick Google search I am finding them as high as 135'.
Still not big enough.

I've been in a 120' and that basket moves so much it will make you sick.
The first couple times is an arse puckering experience, with no wind.

Someone needs to repost that Dukes of Hazard gif.
Now would be the perfect time to see them tear through.

The next step would be a rig basket. Would need another crane for that.

I think they are looking on Amazon and Ebay for new equipment to buy.

I find that hard to believe. The city govt is chock full of qualified people to do this job.

The only way they can rig it is from a man basket connected to the line on the crane if the manlift is too short.

Especially if you move the thing forward/backward with it boomed all the way out.

Or the workers mutinied after being told to deal with it.
Boss: get back up there and tear it down. It isn't that hard.
Worker: frick you. You get up there.

I'm in the truck. I handle QC and logistics
Hearing some talk about the wind becoming a factor, we will see how it plays out

That ain't shite, rotate side to side and see how far that thing sways before it stops and slings your arse back the other way.
