When Christopher Clark, owner and operator of Clark’s Tree Express, first purchased the Teupen TC75A, his crews were a little “iffy” about the machine. It was a new machine and they hadn’t seen one locally in the Charlotte, North Carolina, area.
“After using it, my guy who was the head climber said he would never … climb again because this lift is able to get him anywhere he needs to be.”
Since July 2023, Clark says his company has grown by around 12 percent in large part because the Teupen machine allows them to work much more quickly. It’s also cut down on operating costs and insurance costs with less climbing.
“Overall, it’s saving us as a whole around 40 percent of our costs per crew,” Clark said. “The no mess, light weight track system its designed with has really made it easy for us to access any place locally.”
About Teupen
Teupen backyard aerial devices are assembled in Germany, sold globally, and regarded as best in class—and are now part of the expansive Altec network that includes service, tools and accessories, financing and more.
The TC75A used by Clark’s Tree Express is the most versatile and broadly used machine among all of the brand’s CANOPY® models. It’s easily transported behind a full-size pickup truck, and its tracked chassis proves versatile and non-damaging across sodded lawns or surfaces with fragile or sensitive pavers.
The machine weight is a major benefit in both reducing floor loading and improving mobility. Most importantly, its articulated boom design combined with the smooth computer enhanced, electric over hydraulic controls make the machine easy to operate and smooth in movements.
