Tree Care & Forestry

For backyard tree removal, the best machines are typically compact and narrow-access equipment that can fit through residential gates and work safely around houses and landscaping. Many arborists rely on EWPs for safe access at height, wood chippers to process branches onsite, and compact stump grinders to remove the remaining stump efficiently. At Monitor, what we have often found is that, arborists often pair compact spider lifts, high-performance wood chippers and stump grinders to complete backyard tree removals safely and efficiently, allowing crews to access difficult trees, process material quickly and leave the site clean with minimal disruption to the property.

High-performance wood chippers with aggressive feed rollers and open flywheel designs can process fibrous materials like palm and wet branches efficiently, helping arborists avoid blockages and costly downtime. Först Woodchippers, supplied by Monitor Industries, are well known for this capability thanks to their open-top flywheel design and powerful FörstGrip feed rollers, allowing them to devour tough material like palm with ease while maintaining consistent throughput on site.

Hiring equipment can be ideal for occasional jobs or for testing machines before making a purchase. However, businesses that regularly process timber or remove stumps often benefit from owning equipment due to increased productivity, lower long-term costs and faster job turnaround times. At Monitor Industries, we work closely with arborists, contractors and councils to help them find the right machine for their workload, whether that’s hiring for flexibility or investing in reliable equipment backed by nationwide parts, service and support. Monitor also offers a Hire To Own option which gives you the option to try before you buy, and if you do decide to by the machinery, we will refund you 40% of the hire rates you have paid.
