While some tree care companies still rely on
ladders and chainsaws, more and more are investing in cranes to help with tree
removal and care. Cranes make the job faster, easier, and safer, and they cause
less destruction to the landscape around a removal site.
Here are some reasons why cranes are the safer
option for tree removal services in Maine:
Cranes can remove trees in tight
or difficult-to-access areas
Using a crane makes it much easier to remove
trees from narrow, hard-to-reach areas! When trees are cut down with cranes,
they don't fall straight to the ground. Instead, they are lifted from the cut
space to ensure safe removal. Using a crane to remove the tree will reduce the
possibility of it falling on a structure or onto a road. Simply put, it is the
safest way to remove trees.
Cranes can also be used to remove trees from
tight places, such as in between buildings, small parking lots, or even
backyards.
Cranes are helpful in dangerous
situations
There are many reasons why a tree's roots can
become unstable. The tree may be old, damaged by a storm, or rotten. Thanks to
cranes, these trees can be safely removed.
Cutting down these types of trees can be risky
because of how they can fall. During the removal process, they might not fall
in a straight line, or they might fall without warning, putting the tree
removal workers who climb up in danger. It is safer for a crane operator to
take care of these types of trees.
Crane operators are trained
professionals
Not everyone can operate a crane. It takes
practice and knowledge to maneuver such a large piece of equipment, especially
in a confined space. While crane removal is safer than other kinds of tree
removal, there are still risks involved. A climber still has to climb up,
attach themselves to the tree, and cut down the tree piece by piece. The
branches or sections of the tree that they cut away will be removed by the
crane, using a steel cable or nylon strap.
The climber must constantly communicate with
the crane operator, and know the weight of the wood to be lifted by the crane.
The crane operator must know the maximum load that the crane can handle.
Oftentimes, the pieces of a tree can weigh hundreds or even thousands of
pounds!
