What happens here

The cost of such a specialized grapple truck is significant, reportedly close to a million dollars, with each grapple saw head costing around $40,000. These trucks are not mass-produced but are custom-built to order, which typically involves a waiting period of over a year. The company was able to acquire their truck sooner due to a fortunate circumstance where another buyer cancelled their order.

Goal: Understand the substantial financial and logistical aspects of acquiring specialized tree removal equipment.

What they say

Hide

the ground with just a truck. What does a rig like this go for, then? Uh, a lot. About 600,000, isn't it? More than that. More? Yeah. But this is brand spanking new. So, brand new. Yeah. You're talking about the rig plus all of the fabrication cuz they don't they don't build these off the shelf. When they know that you're going to order one, then they start making one for you. Yeah. I mean, I think they take like I don't know over a year to build. We got lucky where somebody ordered exactly what we wanted and then they backed out on the order so we were able to just take it from them. Um, so you were able to buy that one that they built for someone else. Yeah. But I mean they we they had to spec out. That is an awful lot of money just to get this part up to the top of a tree so that it can the saw these two saw heads alone are like $40,000 a piece each one of these. Yeah. I can't imagine.
