Aerial lifts have been a game changer for tree care professionals. While tree climbing remains an important skill, Stacey Thomson of Thomson Tree Service puts it simply: “Nobody wants to climb a dead tree, or a tree that’s got a half-broken top.”
That’s where modern equipment steps in—providing safer, faster, and more efficient ways to handle challenging jobs. From aerial work platforms like the DINO 92RXT to bucket trucks such as Dur-A-Lift’s Urban Forestry units, RBG Inc. provides a comprehensive range of solutions designed to help arborists work safely, efficiently, and with confidence
DINOlift: Lightweight and Easy to Maneuver
DINOlift machines are known for their agility and low ground impact. They’re perfect for residential areas, parks, and soft terrain where heavy trucks can’t go. These lifts combine reach, maneuverability, and eco-friendly options, making them a favorite for tree care professionals who value precision and minimal disruption.
DINO 92RXT
Models like the DINO 92RXT and 72RXT stand out for their self-drive capability. This means you can move the lift around the jobsite without towing or repositioning with another vehicle. For arborists working in tight spaces or uneven ground, this feature saves time and reduces hassle. Both models offer impressive working heights—up to 92 feet for the 92RXT—and excellent side reach, giving crews the flexibility to tackle tall or awkward trees safely. While standard tires leave only light marks on lawns, opting for turf tires provides even greater protection for delicate surfaces.
DINO 69XTII Towable Unit
For those who prefer a towable option, models like the DINO 85XTD, DINO 69XTII, and DINO 52XTII are excellent choices. The XTII models are also available in battery-powered versions for quiet, emission-free operation. These lightweight lifts tow easily behind a truck, making them ideal for crews working multiple sites in a single day. Once on-site, remote drive capability allows precise positioning without repeated climbing in and out—saving time and reducing fatigue.
Another standout is the DINO 72XTC model, designed for extreme terrain. This unit offers crawler tracks for superior stability and traction, even on slopes or muddy ground. For jobs in challenging environments, the XTC gives arborists confidence and control where wheeled lifts might struggle.
Dur-A-Lift: The Ultimate Bucket Truck for Urban Forestry
When the job calls for more than just reach, Dur-A-Lift steps in. These truck-mounted lifts are built for heavy-duty tree care and utility-side work. Our Urban Forestry units combine Dur-A-Lift aerial access with integrated Voth chip bodies, giving crews the ability to trim, chip, and haul debris without extra equipment. For added versatility, these units can also be mounted on a Blue Ridge flatbed, providing additional storage and hauling space for tools, gear, and larger material.
Models like the DTAX2 Series offer working heights of 45 to 50 feet and side reach up to 30 feet. These units are compact enough for urban environments, making them ideal for tight streets and residential areas where space is limited. Despite their smaller footprint, they deliver the strength and stability needed for large removals, giving arborists confidence when tackling challenging jobs.
For larger projects, the DPM2 series is the go-to choice. It delivers up to 60 feet of reach and features oversized Voth chip bodies for maximum efficiency, allowing crews to chip and haul more material without frequent trips. This series is designed for heavy-duty work, offering the power and capacity needed for big removals and utility-side trimming.
Both series include insulated booms for electrical safety and proportional controls for precise operation, ensuring crews can work confidently near power lines. Customizable options allow arborists to tailor each unit to their workflow, from tool storage to hydraulic features.
The Blue Ridge flatbed configuration adds even more versatility. It provides extra storage and hauling capacity for tools, ropes, and large logs, eliminating the need for an additional truck. For companies focused on productivity and cost control, this flexibility makes Dur-A-Lift a smart investment that pays off on every job.
