Reducing a group of 5 poplar trees at Heywood House today. A two cherry picker day!!

Formerly National Trust, Heywood House in Westbury is now privately run as offices.

A group of trees in the main car park were reduced as they had become too high and the view across to Westbury White Horse was no longer visible from the offices !!

Reducing a group of 5 poplar trees at Heywood House with the help of TWO MEWPS

New Spiderlift 23m tracked Cherry Picker/MEWP

Here are some images of our new Spiderlift 23m tracked Cherry Picker/MEWP/aerial platform.

We were working for Devizes Town Council to reduce a large 30m Oak Tree within Hillworth Park, Devizes

Full details of our new MEWP will be posted on our website shortly.   It is available for hire.  Just contact William for details. 

Vosch grapple saw supplied and fitted to our Takeuchi 2150 excavator

The VOSCH grapple saw was supplied and fitted to our Takeuchi 2150 excavator by Richard Court Forestry Engineering Ltd as the UK dealer, along with additional uprated hydraulics required to operate the grapple saw and a bulletproof windscreen to protect the operator. This machine represents £130,000 of investment to ensure dangerous ash trees can be managed safely and efficiently; as their condition worsens due to ASH Die Back Disease; whilst they may look OK from the initial inspection but they are becoming very brittle.
With this investment,  Conservation Contractors Ltd have added over £250,00 of plant and machinery to their fleet over the past 18months.
