What Are the Different Kinds of Tree Trimming Equipment?
The use of the correct tree trimming tools is vital for the success of trimming and removing trees. The equipment and tools a tree trimmer uses depend on the kind of job he is doing. Tree trimming equipment will include the likes of safety harnesses, climbing ropes, chainsaws, a pole saw, and chip truck.
The most important piece of equipment, whether the climber is doing a big or small job, is their safety harness. This harness will ensure the safety of a climber should he fall. The most common is a climbing saddle. This comes with nylon straps which fit tightly around a climber’s waist and thighs and has an anchor with which to connect a rope and a carabiner.
A climbing rope is used to allow the tree trimmer to climb a tree in safety. It is attached to the carabiner found on the safety harness, holding a tree trimmer to the tree, which decreases the chances of injury should they fall. A good quality climbing rope is an important tree trimming tool.
To be able to get the job done right, a tree trimmer will need a quality chainsaw. These come in various sizes to do small or industrial size jobs. A small chainsaw is around 8 pounds in weight and has a 14 inch, or 16 inch guide bar. Small chainsaws are normally used to remove limbs and do trim work. A bigger chainsaw ranges in bar size, starting from 18 inches to 60 inches, weighing around 10 to 16 pounds. Big chainsaws are used for removing the likes of larger tree limbs.
Pole saws are simply smaller chainsaws with an extension pole. They increase their reach up to 12 feet. Pole saws can be gas and electric powered. They are lightweight, which allows them to be used for longer periods of time without getting arm strain.
