Tree Felling Durbanville, Michael’s Tree Felling Adopts GRCS Rigging System for Safer and Faster Tree Removals

Michael’s Tree Felling has announced the adoption of the Good Rigging Control System (GRCS) as part of its continued commitment to safe and efficient tree felling operations in Durbanville. This advanced rigging technology, widely recognised in the arboriculture industry, enables crews to lower heavy tree sections with greater precision while reducing manual strain and enhancing overall safety.

The GRCS is a mechanical winch system designed specifically for arborists. Unlike traditional rigging methods that rely heavily on manpower, the GRCS combines a powerful winch with a friction drum, allowing operators to lift, control, and safely lower large branches or trunks in a controlled manner. By incorporating this system into daily operations, Michael’s Tree Felling ensures quicker tree removals while reducing potential risks to both workers and surrounding property.

According to the company, the introduction of the GRCS reflects its focus on using proven, modern equipment that supports both safety and productivity. Emergency tree removals, particularly in urban areas like Durbanville, where homes and power lines are often located near large trees, present unique challenges. The GRCS enables the smooth removal of such items, minimising disruption for residents and facilitating faster clearance in urgent situations.

The decision to invest in this rigging technology also addresses the growing need for efficiency in the face of rising emergency callouts across the region. With the GRCS in use, Michael’s Tree Felling teams can complete removals in significantly less time compared to conventional techniques, ensuring quicker response times for homeowners and businesses alike.

A spokesperson for Michael’s Tree Felling emphasised that while tree removal is never without risks, advancements like the GRCS highlight how technology is shaping safer industry practices. “Durbanville has many mature trees that often require careful dismantling, particularly during storm season. With the GRCS, we’re able to manage these removals more effectively while maintaining the highest safety standards,” the spokesperson said.

By adopting equipment such as the GRCS, Michael’s Tree Felling reinforces its position as a local service provider that prioritises safety, efficiency, and community trust in every operation.
