Hello all,
Phil here, and as you will notice, have just found and joined the site. Looking forward to gaining some info, and happy to pass on what little I may have!
We operate a tree & palm transplant business based in SE Queensland, and have been doing this work since 1989.
We have high pressure water cutting equippment, a special chain trencher on our Bobcat Loader which will cut at an angle, plus a tree spade for smaller specimens.
We have a very large Palfinger Crane on our truck, and can lift up to 8.0 tonnes in close, with an overall reach of 19.4 meters! At 19 meters the crane will lift 1.2 tonnes!
About 4 years ago, we purchased a Cherry Picker and set it up as a mobile tree spraying unit. We find there is a definite need here in SE Queensland to regularly spray and trim the Canary Island Date Palms, as they are very susceptible to attact from fungus and borer. If anyone needs info about this or any phase of our operation, please ask away!
