BAY AREA — Advanced technology is now available to Caltrans to assist with the removal of dead, dying, and diseased trees throughout the state. The telescoping grappling saw allows contractors to take trees down at a faster pace than traditional tree removal processes, completing this task safely from the ground via remote control and outside the fall zone for the trees being removed.
