How Expert Advice Helped Safely Tackle a Tricky Tree Removal


Thomas in Wisconsin found himself in a tricky situation with a tree that was leaning dangerously in the wrong direction. Knowing the potential risks but determined to handle the task himself, Thomas sought expert advice to make sure he had the right tools for the job. That's when he reached out to E-Rigging’s customer support for additional product suggestions and was matched with our very own Tyrus Smith (M)VP.

Removing a Leaning Tree with Galvanized Cable and Cable Pullers

With Tyrus's extensive knowledge and experience, Thomas was able to choose the perfect products for his project. Thomas selected the right shackles, cable grips, galvanized cable, snatch block, thimbles, and wire rope clips. These items were crucial not only for extending the effective length of his cable puller but also for safely redirecting the tree's fall.

Snatch Block with Hook and Wire Rope Clip

Tyrus also made sure Thomas had the right resources, directing him to E-Rigging’s instructional video on installing wire rope clips to ensure everything was set up correctly. Confident with his setup, Thomas tackled the job and was thrilled to report that everything went off without a hitch—no injuries, no damages, just a successful and safe tree removal.

Thomas was kind enough to share some photos from his project detailing the entire process from start to finish. You can check out his work in the images below. If you’ve taken on a challenging project with the help of E-Rigging, we’d love to see your photos too! Submit your project photos here.
