Crane and Traditional Rigging

Heli-Ax is well versed in Crane and Traditional Rigging Methods of tree removal.

When dealing with removals in tight quarters, with a limited drop zone, rigging solutions need to be on point.

Heli-Ax has developed a rigging process, that incooperates different rigging methods, and is able to quanitfy the load and force being applied at any time during the rigging.

This ensures staying within the tolerances of the rigging point and the materials being used.

When it is a long reach radius, large crane owners and companies, may not be willing to work on trees do to the possibilites of being overloaded, and a failure occuring.

Heli-Ax has spent many years working with crane companies on long reach setups, that require precision in weight estimation, proper load securement, and balancing to ensure a successful lift.
