Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of auxiliary hoisting equipment for forestry seedlings, and specifically relates to a special hoisting machine for forestry seedlings. Background Technology
[0002] Tree sapling hoisting is a crucial step in modern tree transplantation, especially the transplantation of large trees. It involves using mechanical equipment (such as cranes and hoists) and auxiliary devices (such as slings and nets) to safely and efficiently transfer trees, especially saplings with root balls, from the excavation point to a transport vehicle or planting site. Before the widespread use of mechanical hoisting, tree transplantation relied mainly on manual labor and simple tools (such as logs, crowbars, and hand hoists). This was time-consuming and labor-intensive, unable to meet the demands of large-scale, high-efficiency landscaping and construction projects, and the handling of heavy objects could easily lead to accidents causing injury or death. Manual handling easily results in loosened and cracked root balls, abrasion or breakage of the bark, and severe damage to the root system and trunk, significantly reducing the survival rate of transplanted trees. Modern hoisting technology has evolved from simple binding with straw ropes and hemp ropes to using specialized materials such as wire mesh and nylon nets for wrapping and reinforcement. These materials provide uniform restraint, effectively preventing the root ball from collapsing under stress. Direct contact between slings and tree trunks generates immense pressure, easily damaging the bark (cambium) and disrupting the tree's nutrient transport system. Using flexible, wide slings instead of rigid cables like steel cables increases the stress-bearing area and distributes the pressure. Padding the area where the trunk contacts the slings with cushioning materials such as burlap sacks, rubber sheets, or wooden strips is especially important for tree species with valuable bark (such as camphor and crape myrtle).
[0003] Currently, the lifting of saplings involves using straps to secure cushioning materials and netting to protect the root ball. Regardless of the method, it's crucial to calculate the weight and center of gravity of the sapling (root ball + crown) and select a crane of appropriate tonnage and a suitable binding and installation position. Otherwise, the sapling may swing erratically during lifting, causing collisions and damage to other trees or equipment, affecting survival rates. This process is time-consuming and inefficient. Furthermore, the angle of the sapling cannot be adjusted during lifting. Loading and unloading from vehicles typically involves tilting the trunk, adjusting the angle by controlling the straps. However, planting or uprooting saplings is usually done vertically, and the straps cannot be adjusted during lifting, thus preventing angle adjustment. Manual assistance is required to reposition the sapling, posing significant safety hazards for workers under the crane. Therefore, a specialized sapling lifting machine needs to be designed to address the safety risks and low efficiency associated with manual angle adjustment during existing sapling lifting methods.
