Storm damaged willow tree removal

[deevo]

This was from a storm that hit our area 2 weeks ago (was done last week) unable to climb it due to its integrity and had multiple large hangers just hanging on by hardly anything. Couldn't get a bucket truck in and crane wouldn't reach. Plan C hired out a company an hour away to come down with the only 1 of 2 Teupen spider lifts in Canada. What an amazing piece of machinery! We had the tree down, chipped cut up in 4.5 hrs. Other companies told the owner they would be 2 days just getting the tree down. Hmmmm talk about non productive! Anyways things went smooth as they could. Oh yeah, one of the back leaders went out over an active railway track and was over 3 phase old CN utility lines, inactive but still couldn't bomb stuff down on them!

a few more

They wanted the stump left like that. I cut it level where the 3 leaders were. The guy in the wife beater is the owners son.

Great pics. Amazing it didn't take down that little shed.

That's great that the tree was cut off.
Even though it took 2 days to pull it down,
your problem was solved.

No that's what a few other Co's quoted them. We had it done and off in no time!:msp_wink::msp_wink:

Honestly after running a bucket truck for a while this thing is 100% better, more efficient and just overall awesome! Even though the price of these machines are steep, they are well worth the $. I am putting a lift into my business plan, might not be a Teupen but don't think I will buy a bucket truck again. :msp_thumbup:

Looks to be very efficient.

I would have been too nervous to setup the leg right underneath that log or setup anywhere close to a tree like that as expensive as those things are.

I know, he insisted, we had that piece that fell on the shed tight and was going no where
