Tree planting & Landscaping Made Easy with the iLift

Our mini crane hire service, the iLift, recently demonstrated its incredible capabilities by successfully lifting and planting five multi-stem Amelanchier rootball trees for a client located near Nottingham.

This case study highlights the fantastic benefits the iLift can provide for tree planting and garden landscaping work.

The brief

The client required help lifting, transporting and planting five multi-stem Amelanchier rootball trees, each weighing 250kg, from the delivery lorry to their walled garden.

This was a delicate operation as not only did the trees need to be handled carefully, but they needed to be maneuvered through tight spaces to get them to their desired location in the back garden of the property.

We also had to plant the trees properly and effectively so that they would remain steady and flourish for optimal growth.

Our Work

The iLift was the perfect machine for the job due to its small size and heavy lifting capabilities. With the tight spaces that needed to be maneuvered, a traditional crane was simply not an option. However, due to its small footprint and narrow width of only one meter, the iLift was able to transport the trees to the exact location safely and accurately, without causing any damage to the neighbouring walls or fences.

The next step was to plant the rootball trees. The iLift boasts special equipment that makes it perfect for tree planting.

Its specially designed fly jib allows it to place the tree exactly where it needs to be and the use of Dutch tree hooks allows the iLift to safely and easily lift and place trees without causing damage to the tree or its root system.
