Our Professional Equipment

 The Palaza & McDonough Difference

We believe that having the right equipment and tools for the job allows us to give our customers the best and most cost effective service available in our area. All our equipment is well maintained and inspected daily as well as yearly by certified equipment inspectors that we bring, at our own expense, to our shop to make sure it is safe and in perfect working order. We don't take any chances with the safety of our men
and your property. In addition, we carry plywood sheets to create a protective plywood road over lawns for equipment and chipping operations. Your property is left in the condition we found it, no ruts, tire tracks, ruined lawns or unsightly debris.

Here is a list and pictures of some of our specialty equipment.

Crane

2000 Kenworth T800/w National 30 ton 105' portable truck mounted crane can be transported to the job quickly and is used to secure sections of trees to be cut and gently lowered to the ground in a
controlled fashion where we want for efficient clean up. This crane can reach trees over 100' away, enabling us to remove a tree from your backyard while it is parked in your front yard.

Bucket Truck

GMAC Topkick Bucket/W AVO-95' Versafit Bucket This truck with its' 60' working height boom can
reach to the top of a tree or stretched to reach from a drive to prune and trim limbs. The boom
reaches 35 degrees over center which is further that most other on the market. It is also used in
conjunction with the crane  and is nonconductive for working among live wires, as are our nonconductive
hydraulic power tools. All are certified for safety.

Log Truck

2000 T800 Kenworth/W Prentice 120E Log Loader Incredibly efficient log loader with a large lifting capacity carried by a 10 speed Kenworth chasis. It can hold 6.5 cords of wood and can be used not only to load logs but pick up brush to load into the chipper, saving time and doing a better job disposing of
debris.

Stump Grinder

2007 Rayco R690 One of the most veritile stump grinders on the market that most companies don't
invest in. It's expensive to purchase but we think the benefit it brings to our customers justifies our investment. It is small enough for those tight, hard to reach spots yet more powerful than most, to cut through large stumps with ease. It can be dropped into place with the crane for even the toughest spot. No more unsightly stumps in those hard to reach places!

Chipper

2007 MorBark Chipper One of the largest chippers on the market, offering the most horsepower in its' class, able to chip a 30' log in minutes. This chipper used in combination with the log loader makes for extremely efficient clean up. Less labor and less manpower for us saves our customers money

Storm Chipper

2000 MorBark Storm Chipper  This 18" capacity smaller chipper is used mainly as a back up chipper. It can be placed in tight places and connected to a pick up truck.

Chip Truck

2000 T300 Kenworth Chip Truck  Our Chip Truck has a large chip capacity that can hold 22 yards of chips.
than means less time on the road disposing of chips and more savings to our customers.

Backhoe

1996 CAT 416 Cit Backhoe   This backhoe can be used for odd jobs if needed. It is equipped with a 11' power angle plow
