FOUNDED five years ago, Tree Peaks has built a reputation for delivering quality tree surgeon services across Lancashire, the Yorkshire Dales, the Forest of Bowland, and the Lake District. Specialising in domestic tree work and log processing, the firm found itself facing increasing demand for its firewood business. To meet this clamour and to streamline operations, owner Bertie Pighills turned to Avant compact loaders.
“We first started with a different loader, but that wasn’t really doing the job,” Bertie said. “So, we went onto having an Avant, and it’s just been brilliant. It has changed the business, I would say.”
Investing in the Avant 635, Tree Peaks gained access to a powerful and efficient machine perfectly suited for professional use. With a lifting capacity of 2.8 metres and a telescopic boom, the Avant 635 proved to be a “game-changer”.
Equipped with a range of attachments, including buckets, forks, and a hydro rotation timber grab, the Avant 635 enabled Tree Peaks to diversify its services and handle a variety of tasks with ease.
The versatility of the Avant, combined with its manoeuvrability in tight spaces, impressed Bertie and his team.
“The Avant is just perfect,” continued Bertie. “The pivot steer is excellent for moving around the greenhouse and other tight access jobs. It is so quick and easy to change attachments too.
“For me, the weight and the size of it, and the amount it can lift, is a big factor. “We can quite easily put it on a trailer and take it to a different place every time. Everything is great about the 635.”
Working closely with Rob Atkinson and the team from APSV, the main dealers for Avant compact loaders in North Yorkshire, Co. Durham, and Northumberland, Tree Peaks benefits from continuous support and service, further enhancing its Avant experience.
“I highly recommend both the Avant loader and APSV,” Bertie added. “Both work incredibly well for me.”
