When a tree towers too close to a home, power line, or structure, traditional removal methods can quickly become risky and time-consuming. That’s where crane-assisted tree removal comes in — a solution that turns what used to take days into a precise, controlled process completed in just hours.
At Tidd Tree, we’re proud to own and operate our very own pink crane — Sissy. She’s more than just a piece of heavy equipment; she’s the heart of our fleet and the unmistakable symbol of how we do things differently.


Precision Meets Power
With Sissy on-site, even the toughest removals become a smooth, coordinated performance. Her strength and reach allow our team to lift massive limbs and entire tree sections directly from the canopy, preventing damage to surrounding property and ensuring every move is planned down to the inch.
Crane-assisted removal is ideal for:
- Tight urban lots with limited access
- Storm-damaged trees that are tangled or unstable
- Large removals that require careful control
- Emergency response when safety and speed matter most
Safety First — Always
Crane work demands precision and teamwork. Every lift with Sissy is choreographed between our climbers, ground crew, and operator — every cut, every hand signal, every motion in sync.
Before each project begins, we conduct detailed site assessments, confirm load calculations, and double-check rigging to ensure total safety.
Because Sissy belongs to Tidd Tree, not a subcontractor, we maintain complete control over quality, scheduling, and safety from start to finish. That’s one more reason homeowners trust us to handle complex removals others won’t touch.
Efficiency You Can See
Our crane doesn’t just lift trees — she lifts efficiency. What used to take multiple days can often be completed in a single visit. Fewer hours on-site means less disruption to your day, reduced labor costs, and a faster return to a clear, safe yard.
And for our crew, working with Sissy means we can perform even the heaviest removals with precision and pride. Watching her raise a towering oak section effortlessly into the sky never gets old — and neither does the reaction from our clients when they see how cleanly it’s done.
