Panther Platform Rentals were the choice of Crown Estate arboriculturists needing to work on veteran oak trees in Windsor Great Park, Berkshire. Panther, one of the fastest growing providers of powered access hire solutions in the UK, provided a Teupen Leo 30 Rough Terrain Track Mounted Boom for essential work on trees throughout the park.

Panther Platform Rentals are regular powered access suppliers to Windsor Great Park. The Teupen Leo provides the 30 metre working height the arboriculturists need in order to carry out essential maintenance of the 250 year old trees, allowing them to reach the higher branches to check their condition and examine foliage high up within the tree's parasol.

The Leo is a tracked machine and its rough terrain capability makes it ideal for the team to access all areas of the park. In addition, it is easy to manoeuvre, thanks to its 4,200kg weight, and it offers superior levelling capabilities with its four hydraulic outriggers.

"The arboriculturists at Windsor Great Park are working with extremely large trees, up to come 30 metre in height, and some of the are very old, so it's vital they get the job perfect first time - and that's what they are able to do, thanks to Panther Platform Rentals," said joint Panther managing director Richard Miller.

"We provide training for the operators working on the machines and also, if the need arises because of pressure of work, we supply our own highly skilled operators to help the team out."
