The Petersen Lightning Loader® Grapple Truck was originally developed for brush and trash collection. Our boom and bucket were specially designed so as to avoid snaggs on branches. This Grapple Loader has the attached Route Assistant® for easy loading of bullky waste. An example of this precaution can be seen in our single cylinder bucket. Because the bucket opens, closes, and rotates using only one cylinder, there is no need for hoses below the bucket rotator…making for a much cleaner bucket design. It’s these little details that keep your unit on the route working instead of sitting in the shop.
Brush removal can be a time consuming, expensive job. But when you have the right equipment, the task becomes much more efficient. Whether you’re clearing trees and bushes in a residential environment or clearing land for new building, you need equipment that can stand up to hard work. That’s why we offer an extensive selection of heavy-duty brush removal products that handle the job quickly and safely, saving you man-hours and keeping expenses down.
