OUR SERVICES
Palmereros de Elche Coop.v. Our company has sufficient know-how and resources to take care of all technical needs with regard to pruning: We carry out maintenance pruning, cleaning, training, renovation and safety activities for your trees, and meet the needs of an important sector, such as tending green areas in cities for City Councils. We also operate in the private sector for hotels, golf courses, large property owners associations, etc.
We are Qualified Specialists in pruning palms and large plantations (tall trees), and in difficult jobs in which we strive day by day to improve and develop our work with the greatest quality and efficiency, in order to ensure that no harm comes to any species of plant. Our staff is formed by qualified professionals who are able to carry out any type of pruning job and have a perfect command of all the pruning materials, techniques and working methods. We also have the safety equipment and personal protective gear (P.P.G.) that are essential for our job (helmets, goggles, gloves and cut-resistant material).
The techniques and safety materials we use to climb the palms and trees consist of the following elements:
- For palms: as a result of our wide experience we use a very safe climbing method in which a safety harness is used, together with a rope or adjustable steel sling, and a tree veil or bicycle (this is one of the most sophisticated safety tools that exists) which consists of surrounding the palm trunk with an adjustable steel flange, an axle with a rubber block and a mould on which the boot is supported. One is placed on each foot and it is used by supporting the weight of the body on one leg each time while lifting the other. This method permits the job to be done more quickly and with better results. And, most important of all, it causes no damage to the tree.
- For trees: as a result of our wide experience we use a very safe climbing method in which American ropes are used, together with lowering pulleys or purksin and stirrups or climbing ladders; this safety system is complemented by a harness that enables us to move freely and safely around the tree trunk. Thanks to these methods, we are able to perform pruning jobs in areas that are impossible to reach using a crane or basket. We also work with cranes, depending on the height of the tree and access conditions. This method enables us to do the job more quickly, safely and with better results, and (the most important thing of all) without damaging the tree.
- In addition to these services, we have very advancing collection methods.
