Trees are a beautiful part of every landscape and can provide shade on hot summer days, but sometimes they can become unhealthy and begin to deteriorate. If this is the case for any of the trees near your home, you may need to call in a professional tree service. The video embedded reviews some of the more common tools an arborist uses in their everyday job, and you can use this as a reference to some of the machines and tools you see on the job.
Cranes are hugely important for huge trees, especially when there are a lot of buildings in the surrounding area. The crane catches the felled tree before it can do any damage to the ground or anyone standing nearby.
Another great tool is a mini skid steer for moving large amounts of material. Big trees can weigh tons, and moving all that waste by hand would be near impossible, so the skid steer is used to haul logs to the dump truck.
Sometimes arborists don't cut down the full tree, but choose instead to trim up some dead branches for safety purposes. These pros will use a variety of tree climbing tools like spiked shoes, protective helmets, and a gas powered chainsaw to climb the tree and make the necessary improvements.
The tree service professional in the video explains each tool and their uses for your reference as well.
