Transplanting larger trees is technically quite difficult due to their weight, which is especially true of trees transplanted with a lump of earth, and because of the size and shape of the tree's crown. The least complicated is transplanting large trees with a root ball by moving them vertically up to several dozen meters.. It is possible then, when there are no obstacles in the way. The tree slides with an appropriately secured block onto a specially prepared board or skids. For this operation, one side of the trench must be cut. After sliding the tree onto the board, if there is any danger of it tipping over, they must be secured by attachment.
The plate may be moved directly along the ground surface (Winter) or on rollers rolling on stacked boards. The movement is made with the aid of a tractor.
Phases of transplanting a tree by shifting it vertically on the plate.
When moving and picking up a tree, the trunk should not be grabbed, branches and lacing of the lump, therefore, a special flexible handle is used for this purpose, which covers a solid over a large area.
A handle for moving and lifting large trees with a block of soil.
Such a holder can be made of, for example, a chain or a chain and a net of fine rope.
It is much more difficult to transport trees over longer distances. Technical difficulties arise from the need to raise such a tree, place it on the vehicle, and then photos at the planting site. For such an operation, you need cranes with appropriate lifting capacity as well as trucks or tractor trailers. During transport, the tree should be protected against damage. If the trunk needs to be leaned against the edge of the box, it should be clad with boards or slats properly fastened by tethering. The root ball should be supported or tied to prevent it from rolling away or sliding to the sides of the vehicle.
The crown of the tree should be tied up, to allow the passing of vehicles on the road and not to touch or damage the ground network wires. In the case of transplanting a tree in a leaf state for transport, it is necessary to cover the crown with a tarpaulin.
