Four Tree Companies Turned This Job Down

Four different tree companies looked at this job and couldn't find a way to remove the tree safely. The problem wasn't the tree—it was access. A dead, ivy-covered tree sat deep in a backyard with almost no room to work. The only place we could set up was in a narrow alley. From there, our crane had to reach through surrounding trees while working near overhead power lines and dealing with stormy weather conditions. Traditional stick-boom cranes simply couldn't make the required reach and angles. This is where a knuckle boom crane shines. Its articulation allowed us to work around obstacles and access a tree that other companies couldn't reach. In this video you'll see: • The challenging alley setup • Working around power lines • Reaching through surrounding trees • Removing a dead ivy-covered tree • Why the knuckle boom crane was the key to getting the job done Shults Tree Service is a third-generation tree care company specializing in hazardous tree removals, crane-assisted removals, storm cleanup, and difficult-access jobs throughout Louisville, Kentucky, and Southern Indiana.
