Hi Craig

We don’t splint damaged poles.

Any poles hit by vehicles are inspected and measured by a pole inspector using a VONAQ. If they are considered at risk of failure the following occurs:

1. Any that are determined to be an imminent and immediate risk of failure will be held by a Hiab or our pole grab ute until replaced that day.

2. Any that…

Hi all,

We are currently exploring various options for managing poles following a vehicle vs pole incident, including pole splinting where it is safe and appropriate to do so.

Is anyone currently undertaking this type of work? If so, are there any existing procedures, training materials or guidelines you would be willing to share?

Any information…

At a previous network our arborists were using ute-mounted winches to pull over trees (i.e machine-assisted felling). Due to disparity in weights we had two incidents where the falling tree pulled the ute rather than the other way around, so the practice was banned.

Hi Guys

Apart from vehicle recovery what other tasks do your staff use their vehicle mounted winches for?

I assume there will be conductor pulling etc, but what else is there.

We have identified some unwanted things and before we make a kneejerk reaction and create some blanket rule I thought I would see whats happening out there.

Thanks in advance
