Today I want to discuss what the best truck for a tree service company would be. The answer really depends on the size of your equipment and the services you provide. For example, a boom truck with a cherry picker is great for hard-to-reach tree trimming. But if you work with shorter trees and hedges than a box truck may fit all your tools inside.
Commercial tree service companies use chipper trucks to make services like wood chipping more easy, otherwise you can carry wood debris in the back of a pickup truck and take it to a dump to dispose of.
But, if you’re often providing services like tree removal Victoria BC, where there are more trees than usual compared to other cities, you may want to invest in a boom truck for sure. Other cities in Eastern Canada, on the other hand, don’t have such tall trees so it might be easier for a new tree service company to get away with using a smaller truck.
Keep in mind though, that the better your trucks and equipment the easier your job will be and the more money you’ll make in the long run. Trucks you’d want to avoid when starting a tree service company would be 18-wheelers, big-rig rotators and smaller pick-ups. Even vans should be avoided as you’ll have limited space to store tree debris and tools. Basically, the more space the better.
Good trucks for tree service are very similar to landscaping trucks, except landscapers don’t often have to climb high up into trees. So if you’re afraid of heights a cherry-picker or a smaller boom truck might be a great investment to get started. Whatever you do decide to get, just remember to take good care of it.
For a review, the best trucks for a tree service company are:
- A boom truck
- A box truck
- A large pick-up truck
- A chipper truck
