* Select a full day or half day: ( Half day must be within 50 minutes of our shop...based on truck routes/gps. Time is based on port to port, not just onsite time. Click to see an estimated service range map )

Jobsite Information


* Jobsite Address(es): (Please mention if multiple locations are planned, even if you don't have the address yet)

1).

2).

3).

 

* Crane arrival time to the jobsite (preferably 8:00 am): (Gives you time to prep the site for my arrival and school/work has started, less cars/traffic around the jobsite)

Distance from setup location to the tree(s):
  • Max horizontal distance for medium sized trunk picks = 67' - 1,819 lbs capacity (1,273 lbs for tree work).
  • Max horizontal distance for small brush picks = 81' - 1,356 lbs capacity (900 lbs for tree work).
  • At 72 feet away from crane rotation point, my max reach is 75 feet vertical. With a capacity of 1,642 lbs (1,149 lbs for tree work)
  • Max vertical angle is 80 degrees, about 15' from crane rotation. At 80 degrees and fully extended (105 feet) capacity is 1,102 lbs (771 lbs for tree work).
  • Tree work lifts should target for 70% of full capacity.
  • Capacity ratings do not include the 600 lbs for the sawhead.
  • See more details here --> chart/diagram

Will the spar(s) be flopped once they are grapplesawed to 18" in diameter, or will the spar(s) need to be lifted via crane slings:  

 

In an attempt to keep my base price low for regular and somewhat easy trees/setups but yet account for more advanced trees/setups which have higher risks to the knuckle boom crane or to the property, I have decided to put a charge for the scenarios below versus just increasing my rates for every job.

     Is the setup location on grass/dirt: (Truck weighs 53,000 lbs...26.5 tons)
    • The truck and outriggers should have a 1:1 set back from basements and retaining walls.
    • Example: For 6 feet of depth, I should stay 6 feet away from the wall with the truck or outrigger pads
    • Truck will not cross or setup on any septic field, and all field/tank locations have been verified with the homeowner

    NoYes ($100)

     Additional mats requested: (ten 3'x8' mats are free with our service = a truck length)
    • 18 additional mats are available...but they need to be loaded on the truck before leaving the shop.
    • 4x8 mats are best if not driving in a completely straight line.
    • All mats - allows the crane to travel 112 feet without leap frogging the mats.
    • Only charged if the extra mats are pulled off the truck

    Setup is on a slope over 5 degrees (8% slope or a 25" rise/fall over 24', or there is a +2' ditch/dropoff within the outrigger footprint)
    • To determine if I need to bring along extra cribbing/supplies. All tires must be touching the ground or on cribbing.
    • 7 degrees is my max angle at this time. Anything more than a 7 degree slope will likely require extensive cribbing/ramp building to multiple axles.
    • 1 degree equals a raise of about 5 inches for the front or back of my truck.
    • A side slope is somewhat easier to fix, until I have to use a double layer of cribbing for it.
    • With the truck at 5 degrees (the working limit of the truck), I don't want to be fully stretching out and/or reaching a far distance perpendicular to the slope. Both scenerios put a lot of side deflection on my boom

    NoYes ($200)

    High Risk work or Insurance work (Regular schedule work)
    • Tree(s) is laying on a structure
    • Tree(s) that are unclimbable or unriggable, due to the structural integrity of the tree. Relatively small trees dont qualify unless in a high target zone.
    • RV Campgrounds, if we are using the grapplesaw above RVs/trailers that were not moved. They should be moved if possible
    • Jobs where you increased your own price due to the hazard nature, scope of the work, or tree's location
    • If your booking is for multiple locations/trees, half day can be selected if only one part of the day is High Risk
    • CHT Crane maintains the right to add this amount to a job location/invoice, if the tree(s) fits the High Risk guidelines

     Additional Notes: (Total number of trees to be removed, Tree's general location on the property and tree species, Line drop or power shut off job, Other potential concerns/problems, etc.)
    • Bartlett Tree - target ratio or hours split between the job locations, for invoicing purposes.
     

     

    Grapplesaw work is not a static operation. So, there is some potential for small limbs to break and fall from the tree, especially dead limbs. It is the tree company’s responsibility to protect/cover/remove any landscape lights, driveway lights or skylights under the tree canopy and work area. CHT will try to minimize any breaking and falling limbs to the best of their ability when there are buildings and fragile items in the work zone, but we are not responsible to cover and protect them. If you would protect them in some way while rigging a dead tree out above them, CHT expects you to do the same when you bring us to the jobsite.
