The newest employee of Sherbrooke Tree Service has arrived.
Our new excavator arrived just before Christmas. This will be used primary for the tree lopping and track maintenance work we do in Cardinia Shire and Yarra Ranges Shire. The excavator has a log grab, or ‘beck’, that is used to grab hold of logs and trees to reduce our handling time. During the fire clean up post Black Saturday, machines like this were invaluable for crews in handling large trees and branches. The excavator will have an angle grinder attachment in the near future, which will make large metal cutting a lot easier.
This excavator will also save a lot of the back breaking work involved in track clearing and track maintenance – another service which we provide as part of our tree hazard reduction in high visitation areas.
Used in tandem with our Lucas Mill, moving logs in and out of the processing area will be a lot simpler too!
