MEWP Assisted in Lombardy Poplar Tree Removal in Wakefield
Using Modern Equipment to Safely Remove Poplar Trees in Wakefield
In the vibrant city of Wakefield, where green spaces blend seamlessly with urban landscapes, tree maintenance is of utmost importance. Recently, our experienced team of Expert Tree Surgeons at Saw Dog Contractors embarked on an ambitious project: the removal of towering Poplar trees using a Mobile Elevated Work Platform (MEWP).
The Poplar Trees Challenge
Poplar trees are known for their tall, straight fastigiate (essentially meaning narrow and tall) branch structure, and can grow to impressive heights. While these trees are undeniably majestic and add character to any landscape, they sometimes pose risks. Due to their height and the brittleness of their wood, Poplar trees can be more susceptible to storm damage. This vulnerability makes their removal or pruning crucial, especially when located near buildings or public spaces
or in this tree situation directly above a gas tank.
Why Use a MEWP?
Traditional tree surgery methods, involving climbers with ropes and harnesses, can be risky and most importantly on this job time-consuming, especially with tall trees like Poplars. A MEWP, or sometimes known as a "cherry picker," offers a safer and more efficient alternative.
- Safety: MEWPs provide a stable platform from which our tree surgeons can work, reducing the risk of falls or mishaps.
- Efficiency: Using a MEWP allows our team to access multiple areas of a tree without repeatedly ascending and descending. This speediness ensures minimal disruption to the surrounding areas.
- Precision: The MEWP offers controlled movement, which is crucial when making precise cuts or navigating close to buildings.
A Day on the Job in Wakefield
Our day began early, with the team setting up the MEWP and ensuring all safety protocols were in place. As the machinery hummed to life and elevated our tree surgeons, it was a sight to behold. The intricate dance of man and machine began, as branches were skillfully and safely cut and lowered to the ground.
Throughout the day, the camaraderie and teamwork of our crew were palpable. Years of training and shared experiences have honed their skills, making them one of the best in the business. The precision with which they maneuvered around the towering Poplars, ensuring no harm to nearby structures, was truly commendable.
In Conclusion
