Top 3 Reasons to Use Cranes for Tree Removal

Why Use a Crane?

At Rooted Tree Services, we’ve handled numerous crane removal jobs, and one thing is clear: removing large or dangerous trees is a task that requires expertise. Crane removals can be extremely dangerous if not performed by skilled professionals, and should never be attempted as a DIY project. The safest, most efficient way to remove large trees is with the use of cranes operated by qualified arborists. At Rooted Tree Service, we ensure that our experienced teams use the right equipment and are fully insured for the job. Not sure if your tree removal requires a crane? Here are the top three reasons why it might:

1. Tree on a House After a Storm: A crane provides crucial support to prevent a fallen tree from rolling off a house and causing further damage or injury.
2. Large Trees in Tight Spaces: When trees are near houses, power lines, or in awkward spots like a deck, traditional methods may not be safe or feasible.
3. Speed and Efficiency: Cranes can quickly secure and remove large sections of a tree, often more efficiently than traditional methods.

Traditional Jobs vs. Crane Jobs

In a traditional tree removal, a climber scales the tree and uses ropes and pulleys to rig a system, cutting limbs with a chainsaw while the ground crew lowers the pieces safely to the ground. In a crane removal, the crane suspends above the tree as the climber cuts large sections, which the crane then lifts and lowers to the ground for processing. This method is particularly useful for handling large trees or challenging locations.
