Crane-Assisted Tree Removal in Middle Tennessee

When it comes to removing large, dead, or storm-damaged trees, especially near homes or buildings, traditional methods aren’t always enough. That’s where crane-assisted tree removal makes all the difference. At Upper Cumberland Crane, LLC, we provide expert crane support for professional tree removal across Middle Tennessee. Whether you’re a homeowner dealing with a dangerous tree hanging over your roof, or a tree service contractor looking to subcontract crane lifts, we bring the right equipment and experience to get the job done safely and efficiently.

Why Use a Crane for Tree Removal?

Tree removal is already a tough job but when you’re dealing with massive trunks, rotting limbs, or trees leaning toward buildings, the risks go up fast. Traditional removal methods often involve climbing, cutting, and lowering sections piece by piece, which takes time and puts crews in dangerous situations. A crane simplifies the process. By lifting heavy tree sections directly from the canopy and lowering them safely to the ground, our crane makes even the most complex removals faster and safer.
