Trailer (forestry)
Trees that are crooked or that got caught in the crowns of neighboring trees when felled and thus could not be brought to the ground are referred to as hangers in forestry .
In the case of “crooked” trees and trees with a one-sided crown, the focus is on the side of the trunk base. Such trees are particularly problematic when felling manually . If the direction of felling is in the direction of the center of gravity, the tree can fall unusually quickly. If the desired direction of felling is next to the center of gravity, machine support or special felling techniques must be used depending on the deviation in the direction and extent of the inclination. The use of wedges is also used.
If a tree gets stuck in the crowns of the neighboring trees when it is felled or wind thrown, it is also referred to as a hanger. Such trees pose a constant threat, as they can become detached from the crowns, especially in strong winds, and fall unpredictably to the ground. A quick work-up is therefore useful. If this is not possible when felling thick wood, the tree must be marked as a source of danger according to the accident prevention regulations.
