About Lifts

Ladders, wheelbarrows, and axes just won’t cut it for many jobs that tree care professionals and landscapers perform. Instead, they may need to use lift equipment to trim high tree branches, transport heavy landscaping stones, remove large tree stumps, and perform other tasks more efficiently and safely.

JLG 450AJ Articulating Boom Lift

On TreeTrader.com, you’ll find a wide range of lifts from respected manufacturers such as Caterpillar, Genie, Hangcha, Hyster, and Toyota, including forklifts, telehandlers, boom lifts, and bucket lifts.

Types Of Forklifts

Pneumatic-tire forklifts and rough-terrain forklifts are good options for tree care and landscaping businesses thanks to available features such as puncture-resistant tires and four-wheel drive. Truck-mounted forklifts are a solid choice for those businesses that need to share a lift among jobsites easily and quickly.

Tree care professionals and landscapers use forklifts to transport everything from chainsaws and pruning tools to soil, sod, mulch, and compost, plus heavy stones, retaining wall blocks, concrete slabs, bricks, and other materials used to construct plant beds, patios, outdoor kitchen, fire pits, and more.

New and used forklifts for sale on TreeTrader.com include cushion tire, stand-up/reach, order picker, swing reach, walkie stacker, pallet jack, side loader/bidirectional, and die handler forklifts. Other forklifts include marina forklifts and duct lifters.

Telehandler Applications

Also known as “telescopic forklifts” or “telescopic handlers,” telehandlers incorporate an extendable boom equipped with forks or other attachments. This design allows up, down, forward, and backward movements without moving the machine’s drive wheels. Many telehandlers have four-wheel-drive and rough-terrain capabilities to handle the demanding conditions at many landscaping and tree care work sites.

Arborists, tree trimmers, orchard owners, and landscapers can equip telehandlers from Genie, JCB, JLG, Sky Trak, and other brands with tools and attachments such as pruning saws, grapples, work platforms, and baskets to carry out trimming, pruning, and other tasks in difficult-to-reach areas and to assist with transplanting and positioning large trees.

Types Of Boom Lifts

Boom lifts can elevate arborists, tree trimmers, landscapers, tools, and more to heights exceeding 180 feet (55 meters). Also known as “cherry pickers,” “man lifts,” and “elevated work platforms,” boom lifts come in wheel and tracked variants. They may have outriggers, stabilizers, automatic self-leveling systems, rotating platforms, all-wheel and crab steering, and other features ideal for tree care and landscaping duties.

Boom lifts include telescopic models with four-wheel drive, built-in slope compensation, and other functionality. Articulating boom lifts employ multiple hinged boom sections. Models include those designed specifically for the tree care industry. Towable boom lifts are available in articulating and telescopic models and often have features and capabilities comparable to self-propelled boom lifts.

Boom lifts from Genie, Haulotte, JLG, and other brands help workers safely access high branches, shrubs, living sculptures, and other areas to perform pruning, trimming, shaping, and other jobs. Landscapers use boom lifts to install and maintain lighting, decorations, trellises, and other decorative structures in gardens, parks, and homeowners’ yards.

Bucket Lifts

Bucket lifts are self-propelled aerial lift machines with a bucket or basket (usually designed for one worker) and an articulated, telescoping, or articulated boom with a telescoping section. With their generous maximum working heights and horizontal outreach, bucket lifts can significantly enhance efficiency and productivity while performing tree trimming, branch removal, tree canopy inspection, and other tasks.

Also known as “cherry pickers” and “spider lifts” (due to the leg-like and diagonal outriggers some models use), bucket lifts are handy for trimming tall branches, safely removing dead branches, and performing green roof maintenance duties.
