Tracked Lift for Professional Tree Pruning & Tree Trimming
High-quality tree pruning and tree trimming require safe, stable access to the canopy — without damaging your property. Antrim Tree Service uses a 72-foot Platform Basket tracked lift to deliver precise, efficient tree care in locations where traditional bucket trucks fall short.
Purchased new in 2025, this advanced lift allows our team to perform safer pruning, cleaner cuts, and lower-impact access for residential and commercial properties throughout south-central Pennsylvania.
​
​Why Proper Access Is Critical for Tree Pruning and Trimming
Professional tree trimming isn’t just about removing branches — it’s about improving tree structure, health, and long-term safety. Many trees needing pruning are located:
-
In backyards with limited access
-
Away from driveways or paved surfaces
-
Near homes, roofs, fences, or landscaping
-
On soft or uneven ground
In these situations, bucket trucks are often restricted or unusable. Our tracked lift provides safe access without unnecessary property disruption.

​Reduced Lawn Damage and Landscape Impact
Our tracked lift weighs approximately 7,000 pounds and distributes its weight across rubber tracks, resulting in significantly lower ground pressure than a bucket truck. This greatly reduces the risk of:
-
Lawn ruts
-
Soil compaction
-
Landscape damage
-
Driveway edge cracking
For homeowners who care about their lawn as much as their trees, this matters.
​
Quieter, Cleaner Tree Trimming with Lithium-Ion Power
Unlike traditional combustion-powered equipment, our tracked lift is Lithium-Ion battery powered, making it noticeably quieter during operation. This is ideal for:
-
Residential neighborhoods
-
Work near homes, schools, or businesses
-
Early-day or extended pruning projects
Quieter equipment means a better experience for you and your neighbors. The unit produces zero emissions making it better for the environment, as well.
​
Safer Tree Pruning with Advanced Lift Technology
The platform basket provides a stable work area, allowing our arborists to focus on precision pruning and trimming, not balance or footing. Built-in safety features help protect:
-
Our operators
-
Your home and structures
-
Landscaping and surrounding trees
By reducing the need for climbing, the tracked lift also lowers overall job risk and increases efficiency.
​
