Knuckle Boom Crane Truck With Grapple Saw - Available For Hire In Southern Highlands & Sydney NSW

 

Canopy Tree can see the need for increased safety and efficiency within the tree industry, we are pleased to be acquiring this unique knuckle boom crane truck.

A Volvo 850 twin steer truck with a specially mounted 638 Hiab x Hipro crane on a custom chassis.

This crane has a reach vertically of 27m and a horizontal reach of 24m, with a lift capacity at a horizontal reach of 1.2 tons.

It comes with lift capacity from a dedicated hook or winch cable at the end of the fly boom. Being a big crane it has the capacity of 4m meters to lift a whopping 11300 KG (11.3 Tons).

These cranes are versatile and can lift both horizontally and vertically, we are planning to attach a grapple saw (Mecanil SG220 Remote) to the end of the boom so we can perform tree removal and some pruning from the ground.  The grapple saw crane truck is the safest and most efficient method of tree removal. The operator removes the tree from the ground via radio control, eliminating the need for climbing, rigging and cutting by hand.

This is a tried and tested method here in Australia the USA and Europe.

 

Below is an example video showing the Mecanil SG220 in action
