A crane keeps the weight off your roof
A crane is the most secure way to remove a tree that overhangs or sits close to a house, because the arborist never has to drop heavy timber near the roof. Each piece is supported before it is cut, then lifted clear.
It suits the awkward jobs common around Baulkham Hills and the Hills District: tall trees, tight blocks and limited access.
Where dropping limbs or using ropes alone falls short
Rigging by rope works for smaller trees with open space below. Over a roof, a single slip can send a limb through tiles, gutters or solar panels.
A crane suits a job when:
- branches extend over the roof, a pool or a driveway
- the trunk sits too close to the house to fell in sections without risk
- the yard has no room for a drop zone or heavy equipment
- the timber is too heavy to lower by hand without risk
When a tree sits over a roof, the weight has to be controlled the whole way down. A crane lets us do that without gambling on the house.
