Uses an aerial bucket truck for safe, efficient access to tall or hard-to-reach branches. Faster and more stable than climbing for many jobs.
Bucket truck capability lets crews reach tall limbs and work safely beside houses and other structures, as seen when a large basswood was quickly lifted off a home after a windstorm. Customers note precise work, on-time service, and thorough cleanup when tasks near buildings are performed with bucket-equipped crews. In tight spaces, such as a removal 7 feet from a fence where a bucket truck could not be used, a three-person team completed the job safely by hand, demonstrating flexibility. In Cedar Rapids, IA, this capability supports efficient, low-damage tree services with reliable scheduling and clear communication.
