AERIAL TREE DE-LIMBER/ PRUNNER

MODEL CS-2DP

PURPOSE:
To de-limb/prune 85% of the upper most branches in one pass, by means of a saw slung on a 50 ft. long line. The CS-2DP is designed to prevent or minimize blow-down in cut blocks, along prevailing wind exposed area edges.  The length of the long line is dependant on terrain requirements and pilot preference.

METHOD:
The helicopter brings the CS-2DP to the top of the tree and nestles it against the tree trunk.  The CS-2DP is gently lowered to cut the limbs off the tree until the desired depth is achieved.  The unit is raised up the tree again to begin another pass down the tree.  This is continued until the tree has been adequately treated in accordance with the prescription for the cut block.  Use of the saw blade method reduces fatigue to the aircraft and creates a clean cut to help prevent disease to the tree.
