Occasionally we have a large tree removal that requires the assistance of a specialist crane operator. This large beech tree was protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO). However due to the presence of Ganoderma, the fungal bracket seen in the photo at the base of the tree, the TPO was lifted and the tree removed for safety reasons.
Ganoderma is clearly visible at the base of the beech tree
The combination of the crane and the use of our mighty Avant loader reduced the timescale of the operation significantly. The loader is capable of lifting over 1000kgs, removing the need to cut and load timber by hand. This mechanisation of the process results in substantial saving for the client.
