Removal of huge tree over and through power lines!!

Removal of a silver maple that was over 60 feet tall and required maneuvering up and over and under power lines. The entire process took five hours to remove from start to finish, with a single operator on the ground manipulating the crane.
Thanks to owner/crane operator Tyler for doing an amazing job, and to his coworker for a great clean up!

You slow?

[@lloydedwards8038]

This is great to watch. It is good when the operator and equipment work as one being an extension of the other.

Its a riskey job, but well done....🌹🇵🇰🌹🍂💥

А теперь представьте, что это дерево спилил человек руками. Сколько ему потребовалось времени, сил? Супер. Молодцы.

[@michaelgoble8200]

I’m not sure what impressed me more, the incredible truck/crane/cutter or the amazing skill of the operator. They had a difficult job and made it look easy. I was wondering what the weight limit was for the crane. It was lifting very heavy lumber.

[@wagnis1]

I cannot recall the weight limit, it was far more than he was cutting. the operator did tell me that it was capable of cutting and lifting the entire tree and lifting it. He had to do many small cuts to safely grab and move it over the power lines.

In the UK you would not be allowed to carry out this procedure unless the electricity company was present. Worked in the industry over 50 years and seen many contractor accidents through stupidity . This would end up in court and contractor prosecuted

hi there nice machine john

[@sesom228]

Every one shall have a helmet on the job site. Cool video, but come on where is the helmet on the crane operator?

[@buggsy5]

Why a helmet? He is never anywhere close to where a limb could fall and hit him.

Insulated booms?

[@wagnis1]

i don't think the crane is insulated. Tyler was just cautious about going through the power lines. thanks for watching!

[@leeandadaelliott]

I worked as a crane operator for most of my working life and every time we had to work near high voltage lines we'd either have the power turned off or have the wires covered with very thick insulators. The lines at the top of the poles are most likely in the range of ten to twenty thousand volts. Certainly enough to kill any one who may be touching the crane should it strike the wire.

[@buggsy5]

No one is ever close to the crane while it is near the power lines. But there might still be nice sparks if there was contact.

[@auntcatziegler3791]

Yikes. First the city creates the problem with their awful tree pruning, then they have to 'fix' it with taking out the tree that survives the pruning. What poor planning to plant trees under the power lines to begin with... repeated ad infinitum in neighborhoods across the country. And in the end, the poor hardwood tree gives its life to become instant sawdust! But wait, there is hope toward the end... they keep some of the tree. And, there is job security for the fools who prune the next tree(s) that will eventually get tall enough to need a five-hour expert cleanup crew.

[@eloygarza8316]

Do you know how old that tree was? Its trunk was very thick

[@wagnis1]

i do not. i'm guessing it was more than 50 years old. one of the large branches had fallen into the street from a snow storm in February.

[@grobby432]

Was power secured by power company.. over power lines stupid gets you killed and people saying good job. Safety first.

[@garycook5125]

In Alabama, you'd better have orange cones in the street.

[@briangonterman2244]

That's a waste of a good tree trunk....that would have made a awesome butchers block for the kitchen...

[@buggsy5]

We don't know what was done with those larger trunk sections. They could all have been cut into multiple thick slabs for tables or milled for furniture.

Do you need a crane license for that thing?

[@51hankyspanky7]

Not sure about that, but I'm sure you got to have a lot of money to buy one of those.

[@suotnguyen6075]

good job , but the accident it never tell you ,

[@bralamzali2304]

👍👍👍👍👍🙏❤

[@nowistime8070]

poor tree

[@jasonallison5121]

I'm not seeing the good work. Running a crane that close to power lines is stupidly dangerous....but hey, do you man

[@wagnis1]

DTE won't trim the tree until it falls and takes the power lines down.

[@michaelgoble8200]

Then open your eyes. The operator knew exactly what he was doing and did it very skillfully. How would you suggest doing the job? I assume the power was turned off for those wires. I don’t think they would have done the job otherwise.

[@jasonallison5121]

@michaelgoble8200 really? Do you honestly think for one second the utilities were interrupted? The actual safe way to handle this removal would be to set up on the opposite side of the lines. Reaching through while maintaining the 10 foot safe distance was not done. OSHA regulations are set in place to keep people alive. If that load were to become energized the ground crew would be facing a serious issue

[@buggsy5]

@@jasonallison5121 The operator is the owner - OSHA rules are to protect employees, not the owner or volunteers - at least, according to my local OSHA officer, who happens to be an actor at our local community theatre. There would not be any risk to the people on the ground if the crane became energized - they were never close to it while it was operating near the wires.

[@alanlambert-bz4to]

The only option with the crane was utilized from the street. Crane operator knew exactly what needed to be done.

[@user-cy9lj6nw7s]

это в богатейшей стране РОССИИ ?, успех ошеломляет .Спасибо за видио ,мне 74 года впервые вижу такую технику после работы ,на участке все чисто ,как будто рабоы не производились .

[@user-hh2we8pc7z]

Нет, это в на загнившем западе. А в России мы лазаем по деревьям как обезьяны, и хорошо, что хотя бы с бензопилами ... А потом 5 человек таскают ветки вручную 🤣 Но, на самом деле, в России такой бы кран почти и не развернул бы нигде, да и в проводах, идущих крест-накрест (у каждого провода, кабеля, своя протягивающая организация🤣) запутался бы 🤭

[@chuck2306]

nibbling the tree over the street why you could have dropped most of it right there and then

[@wagnis1]

he couldn't drop it in the homeowner's backyard. i believe they take the chips back to their yard. what they do with it from there, i don't know.

[@BitterDemo]

IT IS SAD, THESE PEOPLE DOING THIS JOB IS WORKING TO PAY FOR THEIR BOSS'S PRESTIEGE.. THAT TREE IS ONE i EVEN AT 85 EARS OLD COULD TAKE DOWN WITH JUST A ROPE AND A CHAIN SAW AND A PAIR OF SPIRS. IT DON'T EVEN NEED A SAFETY HARNESS iF THEY WERE REAL SREE SURGEONS THEY COULD FREE FALL MOST AND BUT ROPE THE REST. .THAT MAN WHO OWNS THET TRUCK WILL NEVER PAY IT OFF. BUT HE WILL CONTRACT AT FIVE TO TEN TIMES THE REAL COST IT SHOULD BE, BECAUSE THE CUSTOMER IS PAYING THE BILLS.

[@buggsy5]

Very few people have your obvious tree felling expertise - so don't have that option. Even if they did, how much damage would be done to lawns, sidewalks and street in the process? I bet it would be significant.
