4.3 Lifting reference for sawing at height
This section should be used as reference when sawing branches at height using a rotating telescopic
forklift or a truck/mobile loader crane. The greatest danger involves underestimating the weight of the
tree or branch being cut. Once it has been cut, the tree or branch becomes a suspended load that the
machine has to support!
Besides the weight of the tree or branch, also take the constant weight of a possible jib and rotator
with felling grapple into account.
The following page contains a lifting reference table, containing the weights of certain lengths of
various types of wood, in order to give you an idea of the weight of a tree or branch.
