One of the most common complaints about tree removal isn't the cutting—it's the damage left behind when heavy timber is dragged across manicured lawns. For Penn Hills residents, SHS Trees prevents this.
What is a Grapple Truck?
A grapple truck is a heavy-duty commercial vehicle equipped with a hydraulic knuckleboom crane and a massive claw. It lifts massive logs directly into the dump bed.
The 'Zero Yard Damage' Guarantee
Instead of pushing logs with a skid steer and tearing up grass, the grapple truck eliminates ground friction entirely. Debris goes from ground straight to truck.
