When it comes to tackling tricky tree care jobs, sometimes you need a little extra reach. That's where Tree Control's 20M tracked Mobile Elevated Working Platform (MEWP) comes in. This powerful piece of equipment allows our North Devon tree surgeons to access even the most difficult-to-reach branches and trunks, ensuring safety, efficiency, and minimal disruption to your property.

Reaching the Unreachable:

Imagine a towering oak tree casting a shadow over your home, a branch precariously close to your roof. Or perhaps a majestic Monterey Pine, like the one pictured, suffers from decay at its base, posing a potential hazard. In these situations, traditional methods might not suffice. But with our MEWP, our expert arborists can ascend to dizzying heights with ease, tackling complex jobs with unparalleled precision and control.

Safety First:

Safety is our top priority at Tree Control. Our MEWP is fully equipped with the latest safety features, including guardrails, harnesses, and emergency stop protocols. This ensures our team can work confidently and securely, even in challenging weather conditions.

We spent a few days in Bideford felling trees in preperataion for the development of a new care home, this Large Beech was removed due to severe decay making it unsafe. 

We were called in to dismantle this large Monterey Pine tree on the outskirts of Barnstaple.

We started by climbing the tree in order to remove all the branch wood which we then chipped and disposed of at local allotments.

The next stage was to install a pull line to enable us to fell the trunk itself, which we calculated to weigh 4000KG. Once on the ground, we cut the trunk into four sections and took them back to the yard using our crane trailer.

The timber was then cut, split into logs and used to fill 15 dumpy bags!
