Removed a few trees at a property in Cockatoo earlier this week. One of the trees we lowered in one big piece.
The tree was a reasonably small tree, leaning over a house. With a suitable high point, it can often be more efficient to set large lines and lower the tree in a single piece.
It is safer because the climber spends less time in the tree, ground staff are not obligated to be underneath works.
This kind of rigging is fairly typical of tree work, especially in situations where simply falling the tree isn’t an option.
