Sometimes, tree removal isn’t just a chainsaw and a rope job.
When massive, storm-damaged, or dangerously positioned trees threaten homes or property, you need more than manpower — you need precision, power, and experience.
That’s where Cartwright Tree Care’s Emergency Crane Services come in.
We’re fully equipped with crane-assisted tree removal capabilities, allowing us to safely lift and remove large or hazardous trees in even the most challenging conditions. From uprooted oaks draped over rooftops to storm-felled maples wedged between structures, our crane crews specialize in doing the impossible — safely.
When a tree becomes unstable, size and location matter. Some trees can’t be safely climbed or dismantled from the ground. A crane allows our crew to lift, balance, and remove the tree piece by piece, preventing further property damage and keeping everyone safe.
Using a crane provides:
Precision control — Safely remove sections of the tree without impacting nearby structures.
Faster results — Complete large or complex removals in hours instead of days.
Minimal property impact — Prevents lawn and landscape damage from falling debris or heavy equipment.
Maximum safety — Eliminates risk to crew and homeowner by keeping work off unstable trees.
When storms strike Kansas City, our crane crews are the first to respond — restoring safety, access, and peace of mind to homeowners and businesses alike.
Not every tree removal requires a crane, but when you’re facing any of these situations, it’s time to call the experts:
A tree or large limb has fallen onto your home, garage, or vehicle
A massive tree is leaning dangerously after a storm
A trunk has split or uprooted, threatening to fall
A tree is too large or unstable to climb safely
Branches are tangled in power lines or elevated structures
One of our arbor consultants will evaluate the scene and determine whether crane assistance is necessary. Safety always comes first — for you, your property, and our crew.
