Ariel Tree trimming is dangerous, as are all businesses that want to work on heights. Safety is paramount when using an aerial lift.

  • Maintain a minimum clearance of at least 10 feet, or 3 meters, away from the nearest energized overhead lines.

 

  • Don’t allow the workers in a basket or tie off any other structure.

 

  • Don’t override hydraulic, mechanical, or electrical safety devices.

 

  • Don’t exceed the machine’s load limit.
