Professional Crane Work

Crane work is required for very large trees that aren’t safe to climb using traditional rigging techniques. It’s a specialised task that requires arborists and skilled crane operators to remove large sections of the tree safely with a crane.

Crane-assisted tree removal

Using a crane is often necessary when removing rotten or diseased trees for several reasons:

  1. Safety: Removing a rotten or diseased tree can be a hazardous task, as the tree may be unstable and at risk of falling unexpectedly. A crane can provide additional support and control during the removal process, helping to ensure the safety of the workers and any nearby structures or property.
  2. Accessibility: Rotten or diseased trees may be located in areas that are difficult to access, such as near buildings, power lines, or other structures. A crane can provide a safe and efficient way to reach these areas and remove the tree without causing damage to the surrounding property.
  3. Size and Weight: Rotten or diseased trees may be larger and heavier than healthy trees and may require specialized equipment to remove safely. A crane can be used to lift and move large and heavy sections of the tree, reducing the risk of injury to the workers and damage to the surrounding property.
  4. Precision: Cranes can be equipped with specialized rigging, such as slings and chains, which can be used to control the direction and speed of the tree’s fall, ensuring that it falls in a safe direction and minimizing the risk of damage to surrounding property.
  5. Speed: Using a crane can also speed up the process of removing a tree, especially if the tree is large or in a difficult location to access.

In summary, using a crane when removing rotten or diseased trees is often necessary for safety, accessibility, and efficiency, and can help to ensure that the tree is removed safely and without causing damage to the surrounding property. It is important to use a professional tree removal service that has the necessary equipment, experience and expertise to remove the tree safely and efficiently.
