53' tall with tracks and fits thru a 36" gate

[AXEMAN]

this is the future of tree care.

the guy says it will fit thru a 36" gate. its 53' tall and self contained. i think it was $225k but it may have been $125k. the tracks pull in and the out riggers swing in as well to fit a standard gate. pretty neat huh?

That may be the nicest piece of tree-management related equipment I have ever seen. I can see there being plenty of additional uses for a small, compact setup like that but one that still offers the flexibility/usefulness of a full-sized model.

That's quite amazing!
I rented one a couple of years ago to do some trees in my yard, but it was way bulkier and more cumbersome than that thing.

It appears to have connectors for hydraulic saws as well.

SWEET!

i'd climb 500 feet up a com tower long before i went up 50 feet in that thing. i hate big man lifts and i am positive i'd hate that thing just as much, if not more.

it was stable and he was up and over my fence line cutting stuff that was well in my yard. great was to avoid dogs and still clear the power line right away. the outriggers give it a big foot print too. small gas motor with electric start and it snuck away as quiet as can be

oh yeah, he said it was more stable than their truck bucket was

Somehow looking at this reminds me of the crane failure thread just waiting to happen.
