Tree Crane Service in Austell, GA
Big trees, dangerous trees, and trees over houses — lifted out safely instead of dropped. Our own crane, our own operator, and the owner on every job for over 25 years.
Crane-Assisted Tree Work, Done Right
Some trees simply can't be taken down from the ground. They're too big, too heavy, or standing too close to a house, fence, or power line to drop safely. That's where the crane comes in.
At Shackleford Tree Service, we run our own crane with our own operator. Instead of cutting a tree and letting it fall, we rig each section to the crane and lift it up and away from your home, driveway, and landscaping — then lower it to the ground with control. It's the safest way to remove trees in tight residential lots, and it's how we handle the jobs other crews won't take on.
With over 25 years of experience and the owner on every job, you're getting a crew that knows exactly when a crane is needed — and how to run it safely.
When You May Need Crane Service
A few of the situations where crane-assisted removal is the safest, smartest choice for your property.
Tree Over a House or Roof
When a tree is leaning over your home, dropping it isn't an option. The crane lifts each section up and out — clear of your roof, gutters, and siding.
Large, Heavy Trees
Big trees mean heavy pieces. A crane handles trunk sections and limbs that are too large to safely lower by rope rigging alone.
Tight or Hard-to-Reach Yards
Fences, landscaping, pools, and limited access make some trees nearly impossible to remove from the ground. The crane goes up and over the obstacles.
High-Risk, Dangerous Removals
Dead, split, or storm-damaged trees that can't be climbed safely are often handled by lifting them apart with the crane from the top down.
What Shackleford Provides
When a job calls for a crane, you want a crew that runs its own equipment — not one that has to wait on a sub-contracted operator. We bring the crane, the crew, and 25+ years of experience to every lift.
Request Your Free EstimateOur Own Crane, On Our Crew
We don't sub out the crane work. Shackleford runs its own crane with our own operator, so the crane crew and the tree crew are the same team — working together on every lift.
Lifted, Not Dropped
Instead of dropping heavy sections and hoping they land right, we rig each piece to the crane and lift it clear of your home, driveway, and landscaping before lowering it down.
Access Over Obstacles
Fences, outbuildings, pools, and tight side yards are no problem. The crane reaches up and over obstacles that would make a ground-only removal impossible or destructive.
Safer for Hard Trees
For dead, hollow, or storm-split trees that aren't safe to climb, the crane lets us take them apart from the top down without putting a climber at risk.
The Right Equipment for the Hard Jobs
A crane is only as safe as the crew running it. For over 25 years, we've used our own crane to remove the trees other companies walk away from — the ones over houses, in tight yards, and too big to handle from the ground. And because the owner is on site for every lift, the person in charge is the one with the experience to make the right call.
