The spider lift that fits through a 36-inch gate: how tight-access equipment changes what's possible on South Jersey properties

Post Copy

A lot of South Jersey properties have fenced backyards with gates that most tree equipment simply won't fit through. That's where the spider lift comes in. Our spider lift fits through a 36-inch gate — which covers the vast majority of standard residential fence openings in Gloucester County — and once it's in the backyard, it can reach and work on trees that would otherwise require a climber or hand tools only.

The practical difference is significant. Tight-access backyard trees that used to require expensive rope-and-climb setups, or that some companies would decline entirely, become manageable jobs with the right equipment. We can position the spider lift precisely, work at height safely, and clean up completely without having to dismantle fencing or work around obstacles the hard way.

We've used it on properties throughout Gloucester County — in Franklinville, Sewell, Williamstown, Sicklerville, and elsewhere across South Jersey — and it consistently opens up options that would otherwise require turning down the work or creating a much bigger project than necessary. "Big enough to get the job done right, small enough to care" isn't just a phrase; it's what a 36-inch gate clearance actually looks like in practice.

Have you ever gotten a "we can't access that tree" answer from a tree company because of a narrow gate or tight backyard? What did you end up doing?

Photo of the spider lift in a backyard through a gate, or positioned against a tree in a tight-access property in Gloucester County. A before/after showing the tree before and after the job is excellent. Equipment in action is one of the highest-performing image formats for this brand. Authentic job documentation strongly preferred over stock imagery.
