Crane Work And Tree Removal Key Factors

Location
Access
Ground condition
Crane size
Experience
Team work
The Location For Crane Work And Tree Removal
The location for crane work and tree removal is the first area to consider. Let’s look at the first three items above.
The location refers more to where the crane truck can get access than where the tree is. In the video below the crane truck was located on an adjoining lot. The property that was threatened by the fallen tree is actually on another property all together.
Access is also key. The crane truck must be able to have access that offers two things, access to the proper area and terrain to set up and have the ability for the crane boom to operate without causing damage to any other trees, property or the crane truck and boom itself.
Finally, the ground conditions must allow accessibility but even more important support the crane itself.

Factor 4 from the list above provide insight needed when it comes to choosing the right crane size. The crane must be able to handle the job at hand. Too small and the crane truck could tip over. Too big and the crane may not fit in the area necessary, or weigh too much for the ground it is to set up on.
Factors 5,and 6 address the tree service company crew. Their experience is what’s key inn this area. Also, working as a team to reduce injury to property is why the tree climber must have the proper experience, years of experience, in order to do the job right.
