A layered structure that was not expected
The crucial difference The challenge of this operation lay in the setup beneath the crane booms. Initially, conventional outrigger pads were used. Crane beams were then placed underneath them. This step is not standard practice, but it demonstrates the User experience and diligence, who deliberately wanted to further secure the burden.
Unusual Construction only began on the level below. Large-format plastic panels were used here. two-ply They were not used for driving on, but served exclusively to significantly increase the contact area and to distribute the load into the subsoil over a larger area.
The setup achieved three key effects:
- Increase in the contact area under the crane booms
- Reduced soil pressure even under high point loads
- Protection of sensitive surfaces such as paving and root spaces
Where point loads become a risk
Tree maintenance work using a truck-mounted crane generates high costs. Point loads, which are concentrated and introduced into the subsoil. While asphalt surfaces can usually absorb such loads, paved surfaces, green areas and root zones significantly more sensitive.
Especially in shallow root systems, compressive forces act directly in the sensitive root zone. Point loads can lead to compaction and damage that initially remain invisible but later cause consequential damage. careful load distribution This is crucial to avoid risks to the ground and the tree.
Experience is demonstrated in the correct structure.
Depending on the surface The deployment was specifically adapted. On the Asphalt surface A classic support system with Outrigger Pads was sufficient, as the ground was able to reliably bear the loads.
In the area of pavement The user reacted in a more nuanced way. To prevent the paving slabs from sinking or shifting when driven over, plastic mats were placed under the vehicle. This allowed the vehicle's weight to be distributed evenly and effectively protected the paving.
This tiered approach demonstrates the user's experience. For each area came credentials for fitting solution to use without taking unnecessary risks.
Differentiation that convinces clients
Tree surgeons usually explain to their clients in great detail what is happening to the tree. Much less frequently, they discuss how... sensitive surfaces protected and damage can be avoided from the outset. However, this is precisely where a problem arises. crucial difference.
