Lifting tube and fittings

[StoneScaffoldingLtd]

What do you guys recommend is the best way to lift your gear up the lifts as you progress upwards?

I'll be interested to know who thinks which is the best and safest method.

Thanks in advance!

Vertically, in my experience.

 

[SWIFTY]

We avoid this problem by only working on bungalows.

Or droppers.

The best way is by using properly designed loading bays, cranes and certified riggers and lifting equipment.
Of course when coming down just bomb it in a big heap.

Im sure some blokes believe its the scaffold fairies or the god of wishfull thinking that gets them their gear , I on the other hand prefer a slightly disabled labourer, with calipers a hair lip and the complete innability to argue back, basically that charity kid that you put the coin in his noggin, all obviously conforming to sg4,,,, if he asks for a pay rise let the air out of his wheelchair or kick his guide dogs head in........really mate loading gear is this a wind up

If theres no forklift then its back to the rope & wheel if u aint got ne of them handnthen hafk to the oldschool form a chain & start pumpng

Why? They could be a "bungalows" only firm with employees like swifty who have suddenly won a 3 lift job and need advice. Isn't that what this forum is all about?

Why the angry faces hswt??, The advise has been given, very eloquently by yourself and SP. Forums also about banter and opinion.

We usually get a trampoline and park the lorry right beside it , then the young lad jumps of the lorry onto the trampoline and passes the gear to the lads as he flys past the lifts.

We only find this good for 5 lifts maximum , which is why we dont take any work on over 5 lifts , i often wonder how they get the kit above 5 lifts :wondering:

You just use a springier trampoline and a fatter young lad. When we did the job at the top of Canary Wharf we had to use a right fat *******.

Sprinkle red bull on the gear that normally helps !!!
