The charts for the mechanical dismantling crane with or without fly jib and hoist are below.

Our mechanical dismantling equipment is a Fassi F545 with L324 fly jib, 56 ton meter crane reaching 29m in height and 26m horizontally, with more than 900kg capacity at full extension. The Mechanil SG280 grapple saw has a 24″ cutting capability, with capacity to hold and cut bigger pieces manually. These are mounted on a Scania P370, 6×2 short wheelbase with rear lift and steer axle for unbeatable manoeuvrability.

Mechanical dismantling is the our suggested tree surgery service for any trees affected by diseases such as Phaeolus schweinitzii, Kretzschmaria deusta, Meripilus giganteus or Hymenoscyphus fraxineus (Ash dieback). In particular, Ash dieback threatens to decimate the UK’s Ash population. Research has shown that wood in infected trees become more brittle and susceptible to breaking, especially under loading such as lowering branches or a climber’s anchorpoint. By using our crane and grapple saw, limbs and stems can be dismantled safely for operatives and the surrounding space (including homes, roads, telephone wires, etc). When cut, dangerous trees can be lowered in a safe and controlled manner with no danger or impact to surrounding area. The wood can then be chipped and removed off site with our 60 cubic yard trailer.
