Mature trees in our cities are constantly threatened by infill development. Their roots are regularly being disturbed to upgrade the existing water, power and communication lines around their existing root zones.

Rob Bodenstaff, an Arboriculturist from the Arbor Centre in Perth, Western Australia, purchased a Big Brute Industrial Vacuum Cleaner to help in their Root Zone Management of urban trees.

Rob & his team of Chad and Ryan are currently putting in lines for new electric cables.

Using an air-powered lance to loosen the existing soil from around the tree roots, they can suck the loosened dirt and stones away with a Big Brute Popular Industrial Vacuum Cleaner.

This lets the team to expose the existing tree roots without doing physical damage to the tree.

As in all cities, there's a limited amount of time and space to work within. Any equipment that speeds up the process of the removal of, and backfilling of dirt around the tree roots makes the job quicker and easier.

With the portability of the Big Brute and a capacity to still hold 200kg of damp soil, the Big Brute has become an essential tool for the Arbor Centre.
