Features
Include:
1. LMI (Load Moment Indicator): This feature enables the operator to know the exact amount of weight he is allowed to safely cut at any position the Big Beaver® is in. Just like crane use requires some guess work, the operator must be responsible for not cutting pieces too large or too heavy.
2. Remote Control: Imagine being able to see from the perfect angle every cut. This feature allows the operator to see and hear all operations while positioned a safe distance from the operation.
3. Atomic Feature (Anti-Tip-Over-Mechanism-In-Control): This is the patented feature that allows the Big Beaver® to boast it is the "Safest" possible method of tree removal in the world. It will not allow the machine to tip over if a problem occurs such as a wind gust or operator error.
4. No Human (placed in danger): Most trees can be removed without a human touching the tree. Even if the "prep" method is employed, the danger level of cutting limbs is much less than that of cutting whole tops and logs (see UTube video on our Home Page). Crane use places a human in harms way. A human must make the cut, hook the strap, and often ride up on the ball. Then as pieces are cut they can swing wildly and hit the worker (or the crane can tip over and injure anyone in the way).
5. Work in very tight places: The Big Beaver® can get around well in most yards and tight places. It has three steering modes to maneuver in extremely tight places a crane or bucket cannot even think about working in.
6. Smooth saw operation: The Big Beaver® has Patent Pending hinges to release stress in crooked pieces where tension could otherwise bind the saw.
7. Saw has dual action capability: The saw can cut in or out, up or down. This makes cutting limbs in a free fall & drop job fast and easy. Just close the arms and go to work dropping limbs on either side of the tree.
8. Do not need a tractor & low boy to haul: The Big Beaver® will fit nicely on a 22 ton pintle hitch trailer. This rig can be pulled by a dual axle grapple truck or chip truck with air brake ability. The trailer can double as a log trailer with temporary bolsters to haul thousands of dollars worth of value timber to the mills. RELAX, you won't be using it that much, because most of the time you will pick up so much business in the neighborhood you can just drive it from job to job. And if you do have to move 5 or 6 miles, 24 MPH breaks down to 12 miles in about 30 minutes, or 6 miles in about 15 minutes.
9. Multi-Functional: Can serve as a crane with the jib attachment, a bucket with the basket attachment, a skidsteer for brush removal, and a knuckleboom for feeding the chipper and loading logs on the log trailer.
10. Affordable: Big Beaver® now encourages customers in less populated areas or on a lighter budget to get their best deal on a used machine or let us find you one. We will retrofit it with a new BeaverHead™ and you'll be going in no time.
And a lot more, too many to name, but you will discover once you own one.
Critical Advantages "The schrubs don't even know the trees are gone!"
Customer Satisfaction AND Appreciation. The Big Beaver® will pay for itself in a short time. There are so many advantages it is truly hard to believe. Plan to stay in one neighborhood longer now, because customers and even the community love it; it will draw a crowd and win customers who have held out from fear of the dangerous ways they have witnessed tree removal on neighboring jobs. Read some of the testimonials on our website...these are a very small sample of customer satisfaction. Is it possible tree companies just do not realize the way customers feel after seeing men placed in serious danger? They watch in disbelief as a worker is hoisted up on the ball of a crane, limbs popping as they hit his hardhat; others climb or jump out of the bucket on to a limb; and some holler "Timber...rrr" as the falling tree tears up everything in its path. Then there is the reality of accidents and the lost customers who either witness the horror or hear of it from someone who did.
And then the customer is amazed at several other attributes of the Big Beaver® System: the way the landscape is left virtually untouched. One person remarked "The schrubs don't even know the trees are gone". Imagine a large tree in the middle of a beautiful bed of azaleas. After removing the top without dropping one piece, you clamp on to the final 16' log. This time the saw is tucked in, and the ground man will cut the tree off at the base. Once cut, the Big Beaver® lifts this big log up and out leaving every blossom on the azaleas in tact. You will have an amazed, and very happy customer who will tell everyone what they just witnessed.
Another said he had very expensive and collectible items in his shed, and until he saw the Big Beaver® he was afraid of the trees falling in a storm, but more afraid of the tree companies dropping one on his shed. I am not saying a good professional tree company would do this, but it is very important to realize this is the way many potential customers see it and this is a huge advantage for tree companies who own a Big Beaver®.
Please Note:
We do not claim the Big Beaver® Removal System is perfect; but when we look at the alternatives being used everyday and the accident charts every month, it is SO FAR AHEAD OF ALL OF THE OTHER SYSTEMS there is no comparison. And if you join our team, it is our solemn committment, with the input from our customers, to continue to improve this system until we can see those death charts void of injury! If the TCIA and ISA and others are as serious about reducing serious accidents as they say, than we welcome them on board. But this system is simply too good to be overlooked for any reason.
Imagine a team of Big Beavers® arriving at the disaster scene and safely and speedily removing downed trees, opening life saving pathways for the emergency personel; or working immediately after an ice storm without timely delays to restore power to people who may be in danger of freezing to death. The number of injuries and death AFTER the storm is alarming. Many non skilled and even skilled volunteer, municipal, and professionals begin cutting downed trees, some of which are "spring loaded bombs" that will bust and kill before the saw operator knows what hit them. The Big Beaver® will eliminate this unnecessary danger to good people who are trying to help, but up until now have had no safe alternative.
In a recent article about crane use in a major tree care magazine, the author made a comment to this effect: Using a crane to remove trees can be both the safest and most dangerous method...Somehow that just does not seem to make sense. The Big Beaver® Removal System can emphatically claim: "It is the safest and LEAST dangerous method for removing a tree; even dead, leaning, bee infested, storm damaged...just name it!"
