Company invests in new 17m EWP - GENIE TZ-50 TRAILER MOUNTED

During the course of day to day operations, there are times when EWPs provide the safest and most versatile access into a tree. At Coastland Arbor Services our incurred costs for Cherry Picker Hire were steadily increasing annually, so we decided to bite the bullet, and purchase our own, a Genie TZ-50 - the largest trailer mounted EWP currently available on the market.

The EWP can be towed by our landcruiser utility to the site and setup, allowing us to back into and access areas a truck mounted EWP cannot. It is also self propelled with hydraulic motors on the wheels - and can pass through a 1.65 metre opening, making it perfect for squeezing through hard to access areas [alongside houses, to backyards etc]. Furthermore, stowed, its maximum height is 2.1 meters, which allows the machine to pass under most carports and garages into backyards. In operation, the GENIE has an 8 metre sideways reach and up to 17 metre working height [approximately 58 feet]. It runs on battery power which makes it very quiet and eliminates engine fumes in confined work spaces.

The GENIE has been a great addition to our company and has increased our versatility, efficiency and on-the-job safety.

There is also a very real cost saving that we have been able to pass onto our clients. Since purchasing the GENIE, we have eliminated the higher per hour cost of a EWP rental that other tree companies must incur. Our EWP operators only work with trees, which provides the added benefit of greater experience, reduced setup time and a greater margin of safety. [This is not always the case when a company is paying for a rented EWP on an hourly basis, for this gives the operator no incentive to ’’get the lead out’’].

Our time savings reflect an increased competitive edge for us and a cost savings to our customers.
