Broadleaf Arborists invests in Octoplus 21

Location: Shropshire, United Kingdom

Broadleaf Arborists has added an Oil&Steel Octoplus 21 to its fleet, giving the team a 20.7m working height and 10.6m outreach for tree care work across Shropshire and beyond. Its 785mm tracking width also allows the platform to reach work areas through narrow access routes and across ground where larger wheeled access equipment would be difficult to position.

Company director Tom Smallman has previously highlighted the value of the Octoplus 21 when working on weakened or distressed trees, where brittle branches can make conventional rope access less suitable. The platform allows the team to work from the basket and manage tree reduction from the top down, while keeping boom cabling, hoses and the drive chain protected inside the boom section where they are less exposed to branches.
