Heartland Customer Testimonial – Lance Wallace

 

Lance Wallace, owner of Wallace Tree and Landscape, has been a tree climber for 25 years with the last 15 years focusing on safety training. “We’re really trying to work towards being safer and working smarter, not harder.” With his tenure in the industry, Lance says one of the biggest challenges for tree climbers is the length of their careers. “No longer does an arborist have to think about only climbing so many years before his body is fatigued and he must find something else to do. This machine gives you the opportunity to still be at the front lines of being an arborist and doing tree care. And above all, it’s a much safer way to perform the work.”

 

Altec’s Heartland is a completely engineered piece of equipment dedicated to tree and limb removal. The unit consists of a 33,000-gvwr Freightliner chassis with a log body, an Effer articulated-and-telescoping boom crane, and a 360-degree, continuous-rotation grapple saw. The maximum hook height is 60 feet, while the maximum horizontal reach is 49 feet. The unit is operated completely by a radio remote control.
