Best Types of Trucks for Tree Trimming
Tree Trimming is a competitive field, and any method of improving productivity, and therefore,e costs is welcome. Three types of trucks will help your business move to the next level. These are Chipper Trucks, Boom Trucks, and Pickup Trucks. Choosing the correct vehicle for your arborist's operation is very important and relates very much to the size of the existing and envisaged operation.
Chipper Trucks for Tree Trimming
When trees are trimmed or totally felled, it creates a lot of material on the ground that will need to be disposed of. The random shape of branches makes it very inconvenient to transport as it falls from the tree. By reducing this waste on-site, it becomes far more efficient to carry and dispose of into chips.
A chipper truck is an enclosed dump container with a specially designed opening at the back of the truck that allows a chipper chute to fire the chips into the truck's back. The wood chipper trailer is typically towed from job to job behind the chipper truck. Some larger chipper trucks will have a wood chipper built into the design of the truck itself.
Boom Trucks
A Boom truck fitted with a Cherry picker can assist arborists in reaching the tops of trees and doing selective work, such as tree trimming, in a safe environment.
Boom Trucks, which are sometimes called bucket trucks, are sure to improve your operation's efficiency. A typical boom truck is going to be equipped with a lift that is over 50 feet. One team member in the bucket can steadily and safely work trimming down limbs from trees while other team members work together, down below, on chipping the fallen branches.
If your business owns one of these trucks, it makes it far easier to access branches close to buildings without the risk of causing damage. The flexibility and efficiency of the unit will allow a wider variety of work to be undertaken.
