Truly Vertical Tree Service

I think working safe is the most important aspect of any job. On Feb. 28, 2014 I was watching another tree service working across from a friends small engine repair shop. The person running the bucket truck did a foolish thing, could of been life threatening. He had tied a nylon strap to the bucket and used it to pull part of the tree trunk and attached limb out of the other branches. These aerial lifts are limited to 350 lbs. total weight. of course he knew just from looking at the load, combined with his weight and the force needed to pull it free from the other branches was less than 350 lbs. allowed. This kind of thinking will someday get someone hurt or killed.
