Meet the Merlo.
The only one of its kind working trees in Central Florida
The Merlo Roto 50.35 S Plus E4 CVTRONIC is a 360° rotating telehandler that reaches 112 ft and lifts 11,000 lb. Paired with a grapple saw, it’s one of the most capable tree-removal machines anywhere — and right now, Mike is the only arborist in Central Florida putting one to work on trees. It’s the reason we can take down trees that stop other companies cold.
The grapple saw, working.
Watch the Merlo Roto reach up into the canopy, grab a limb, and cut it — all in one controlled motion. The section never free-falls; it’s held the entire way down and set exactly where we want it. That’s the difference between a clean removal and a damaged roof.
Put it to work on your tree
Lift sections out. Don’t drop them.
The difference between a great removal and an expensive mess is control. A rotating telehandler with a grapple saw holds each section while it cuts, then sets it down exactly where we want it — off your roof, away from the pool cage, clear of the flower beds.
- Reaches over the house and into back yards without heavy ground traffic
- Continuous 360° rotation places loads precisely
- Less hand-climbing means a safer job site
- Faster removals with dramatically less lawn damage
Grab and cut, in one motion
The Branch Manager attachment clamps a limb and runs a chainsaw bar through it — so heavy sections are never in free-fall over your property.
More than one machine
The Merlo is the headline, but we bring the right tool for each job — and we own it, so it’s always available and well-maintained.
Our own crane
Owned and operated in-house — not rented. We’ve safely removed thousands of trees with it over four decades. For specialized jobs we add cranes with certified operators.
Aerial bucket lifts
For controlled pruning and removals where climbing or the crane isn’t the right call — reaching high canopy work safely from the basket.
Grapple saw
The Branch Manager grapple saw mounts to the Merlo and grabs a limb while it cuts, so sections are controlled the entire way down — never dropped.
Stump grinders & excavation
Heavy grinders plus the equipment to excavate grindings to grade, so stumps are genuinely removed — not shaved at the surface.

If another company told you it’s too big, too close, or too risky — that’s our specialty. Send a photo and we’ll tell you how we’d take it down.
