Tree removal companies invest in various types of equipment to get the job done. A crane can lift people to reach tall limbs and branches. Often, trees grow so tall this is necessary. According to This Old House, poplar trees get as tall as 90–115 feet; an ash tree can grow to 40–80 feet; maple trees will reach 60–100 feet; a mature oak tree winds up about 60–80 feet tall. However, a licensed tree company follows several safety measures to ensure everyone is safe.
1. Site Evaluation
A tree crew will carefully evaluate the site before they start working. They’ll consider how easy it is to reach the tree, how tall the tree is, and how heavy the branches that need to be removed are. This evaluation helps tree removal companies develop a plan of action to safely take down the tree without anyone getting injured. The right team of experts have years of experience to ensure they can come up with a plan of action that keeps everyone safe.
2. Crane Inspection
Tree businesses understand the importance of having equipment in good working order. Malfunctioning equipment can delay the job and be a safety hazard. Businesses invest in professional inspections to ensure the equipment doesn’t need repairs. They perform regular maintenance and often test equipment before heading to the job site. This is one of the many safety precautions companies take when operating heavy equipment like this.
3. Proper Training
The equipment is in good shape; it doesn’t matter if the operator doesn’t use it properly, and tree removers know this. That’s why they ensure everyone operating a crane is properly trained and licensed. Employees receive ample training and often work with someone when first learning the ropes to ensure they can maneuver confidently as necessary.
4. Tree Removal Location
Several precautions are taken when removing a tree. Arborists will make sure the work site is free from debris and other items that can make the area dangerous. Trees are always secured using ropes and other materials to ensure they are stable during the lifting process. Careful cutting helps your choice of contractors determine where branches will fall.
