I've done it they are more robust than you would think. But no, I do not think it can take near the hit a bucket can. I have spent day after day for weeks at a time in a spyder lift in Germany. Again, I would say they are pointless for one or 2 trees. They are priceless if you have say, a...

You didn't get the removeable remote?? The Teupen I used the most had a removeable control box. We replaced the white plastic cover with a metal one....after I broke it off. Oh, watch for that danged ladder too.

Good point Ken, the bucket truck can haul wood chips and a chipper so the lift is a 2nd trip or 2nd tow vehicle. These things come in all sizes and ages. We used these on large contracts in Germany where we would be in the same place for a few days or weeks. I have used spider lifts to go...

Are you talking about my TDI VW Jetta. Engine made in Poland, car assembled in the Puebla, Mexico plant. :) Germany never really prides themself so much on the fact that they are turning the screws, etc. They instead pride themselves on the fact that they have the intellectual knowledge and...

Yeah, those cats at Teupen are out there. They had a bogus article in TCI a while back about how tree climbing is illegal in Germany and all work is done with lifts. Then the author went blabbering on about the autobahn and his experience in this foriegn country. He sounded like it was the 1st...

I am referring to tree care, not powerline care. I think we are not so apart in our thinking. Can a bucket make a groundy a treeman....NO! But on large contract deadwooding, yes, you can get a good groundy pretty efficient and fast. That leaves your climber to climb while your lift is earning...

It is the truth mate. Just because you don't agree doesn't change it from being true :P You may not believe in gravity, but you will still hit the ground when you fall out of that bucket. A good groundy can be turned into a good bucket flyer in a few days. That is a fact. I have done it...

The real advantage with lifts is that you can use less trained labor. So the lift costs more but suddenly labor is more available and cheaper. I used a lot of Tuepen products in the EU. Some good, some bad. All rentals. They eat turf. Get the remote, you don't want to drive it from the...
