What happens here

An arborist uses an aerial lift (spider lift) to reach high into the tree. From the basket, they operate a chainsaw to cut upper sections of the tree trunk and large branches. The lift provides a stable and safe platform for making these cuts, while other team members on the ground monitor the operation and manage falling debris. This method is used when climbing is impractical or unsafe.

Goal: Dismantle upper tree sections safely using mechanical access.

Tools and materials

  • Aerial Lift — Providing safe access to high tree sections
  • Chainsaw Stihl — Cutting tree branches and trunk sections
  • Safety Harness — Securing the arborist in the lift basket
