Dump, Bucket & Crane Services

Heavy equipment for the toughest tree jobs. Our 60-foot insulated bucket truck and crane tackle what ladders and climbing cannot. Serving Central Kentucky since 1957.

Heavy Equipment for Big Tree Jobs

Some jobs are too big for ladders and too risky for climbing. Our 60-foot insulated bucket truck lets us reach trees in tight spots — anywhere with at least 9 feet 2 inches of clearance.

Our bucket truck, crane, and dump trucks handle large-scale tree removals, storm damage cleanup, and complex jobs near structures or power lines — safely and efficiently.

We bring the right truck for the job so the work gets done safely and your property stays protected.

Why Heavy Equipment Matters

Safety First

Diseased, decayed, or structurally unsound trees are too dangerous to climb. Our bucket truck and crane let our crew work from a secure position, keeping people and property out of harm’s way.

Power Line Clearance

Trees near power lines require specialized equipment. Our insulated boom protects operators from electrical hazards, meeting industry safety standards for work around energized conductors.

Complete Cleanup

Our dump trucks haul away every branch, log, and piece of debris. When we leave, your property is clean — no piles left behind for you to deal with later.

How Our Equipment Services Work

1. Site Assessment
We visit your property to evaluate the job — tree size, condition, proximity to structures and power lines, and access points for our equipment. We determine which combination of bucket truck, crane, and dump trucks the job requires.

2. Equipment Staging
Our crew positions the bucket truck, crane, or both on your property. We verify clearance from power lines and structures. All operators are fitted with full-body fall-arrest harnesses and PPE before work begins.

3. Elevated Work
From the bucket or with crane support, our crew removes limbs, sections, or entire trees in a controlled sequence. The insulated boom keeps our operators safe when working near energized lines. Each cut is planned to protect your property and surrounding landscape.

4. Debris Removal
Logs, branches, and wood chips are loaded directly into our dump trucks as work progresses. No piles are left on your property. We haul everything away so you have a clean site when we finish.

5. Final Walkthrough
Before we leave, our foreman walks the property with you to confirm the work is complete and your yard is clean. If stump grinding, topsoil, or seeding is needed, we can handle that too.

Our Equipment in Action

Frequently Asked Questions

When is a bucket truck or crane needed?

A bucket truck is used when a tree is too tall, too damaged, or too close to power lines for safe climbing. A crane is brought in for very large trees, trees in tight spaces where there is no room for the tree to fall, or when heavy sections need to be lifted over structures. Our foreman will determine the right equipment during the site assessment.

Is the bucket truck safe to use near power lines?

Yes. Our bucket truck is outfitted with a conductive-resistant (insulated) boom designed to protect operators from electrical hazards. Our crew follows strict OSHA safety protocols, including full-body fall-arrest harnesses and PPE at all times during elevated operations.

How much space does the bucket truck need?

Our bucket truck requires a minimum access width of 9 feet 2 inches to reach the work area. During the site assessment, we verify that there is adequate clearance for safe equipment setup. If access is too narrow for the bucket truck, we may use a crane or climbing methods instead.

Do you handle emergency storm damage with this equipment?

Absolutely. We provide 24-hour emergency service for storm damage, fallen trees on structures, and hazardous tree situations. Our bucket truck and crane are available around the clock. Call (502) 229-5258 any time for emergency response.

What happens to the debris after the job?

Our dump trucks haul away all debris — branches, logs, wood chips, and brush. Your property is left clean. If you want to keep firewood or wood chips for mulch, just let us know and we will set them aside for you.
