Remote Control

The Mecanil grapple saw is the safest and most efficient method for tree removal. Controlled from the ground via a remote control unit, the grapple saw eliminates the need for climbing, rigging and cutting by hand. 

Grapple Saw

A highly reliable piece of machinery, the features of the Mecanil grapple saw include: stability in both the felling and loading position, saw bar and grapple controls that are independent of each other, controls that enable tilting and rotating of the grapple saw to access hard-to-reach places, and complete wireless control.

Heavy Equipment

We own and operate all manner of heavy equipment from Bobcats, to skidloaders, bulldozers, augers, excavators, trailers, etc. As such, we can also help you with hauling: from heavy equipment, to vehicles, even horse transport. 

Overhead Work

With our assortment of cranes, bucket trucks, man-lifts, cherry pickers, industrial augers and other equipment, we can help with pole setting, truss setting, and all manner of overhead work.

Traditional Tree Removal

In addition to remote control tree removal, we can do traditional tree work via bucket truck, man-lift, and sophisticated rope rigging.
