Challenges and Hazards of Christmas Tree Lifting
Lifting Christmas trees comes with specific challenges and hazards that must be addressed to ensure safety and success. These include:
- Heavy and awkward loads: Trees can be difficult to balance and secure during lifting.
- Restricted spaces: Urban environments often have limited room for manoeuvring cranes.
- Adverse weather conditions: Strong winds, ice and rain increase risks during winter.
- Dropped loads: Mishandling or inadequate equipment can lead to accidents.
- Instability: Poor planning can result in improper tree positioning or anchoring.
