Crane Tree Service in Berks County
Merkel’s Tree Service provides a crane tree service for large, hazardous, or hard-to-reach trees that require controlled, safe, and professional removal. Our certified arborists use advanced equipment and careful planning to complete complex removals safely and promptly.
What We Do
Crane Tree Removal for Large and Hazardous Trees
Crane tree removal is the safest and preferred option when a tree is unusually large, unstable, or located close to homes, utilities, or other structures. Traditional removal methods, such as climbing, rope rigging, or bucket trucks, can be dangerous or impractical in tight spaces or on steep terrain, where careful control of each section is critical.
Using a crane, on the other hand, allows us to lift and lower tree sections and reduce the risk of damage to your property, all while keeping our workers safe. Crane-assisted tree removal in the Berks County area is best for:
Using a crane, on the other hand, allows us to lift and lower tree sections and reduce the risk of damage to your property, all while keeping our workers safe. Crane-assisted tree removal in the Berks County area is best for:
- Tall or oversized trees that cannot be dismantled safely from the ground
- Trees near buildings, fences, or power lines
- Limited-access or confined spaces, such as narrow yards or steep slopes
- Compromised trees with storm damage, rot, or structural instability
How it Works
Tree Removal with a Crane
Before we do anything, we must first complete a detailed site evaluation to assess the tree’s size, structural stability, weight distribution, lean, and nearby obstacles. Once that’s done, the crane is positioned on stable ground and properly leveled, with supports added if needed for stability. Our climbers or bucket operators then attach rigging to each section of the tree, coordinating closely with the crane operator to ensure each lift is controlled, accurate, and safe.
Once secured, sections of the tree are lifted and lowered to a designated area, where they are cut and processed as needed. Larger sections may be removed or repurposed, while smaller branches are chipped into mulch. The process continues piece by piece until the tree is fully dismantled, and all debris is cleared, leaving your property safe, tidy, and minimally disrupted.
