Grapple Truck
& Debris Haulingin Wichita, KS
Our grapple truck loads and hauls the brush, limbs, logs, and root balls that tree work leaves behind — as part of a removal, pruning, or storm cleanup job, or as a standalone pickup of a pile you already have. Free estimate, priced before it's scheduled.
What Our Grapple
Truck Picks Up
Tree and landscape material, loaded loose, straight off the ground. These are the piles the grapple truck is for — whether they're left by our own crew, by a storm, or by someone else's yard work.
Brush & Branches
Trimmed limbs, storm-snapped branches, and tangled brush piles, picked up as they lie. No bundling, bagging, or stacking.
Logs & Trunk Sections
Trunk rounds and heavy log sections from a removal — wood too big for curbside pickup or the bed of a pickup truck.
Root Balls & Stump Grindings
Root balls from uprooted trees, and stump grindings when stump grinding is part of the job and you'd rather not keep them.
Storm & Landscaping Debris
Limbs and wood a storm brought down once the trees are safe, and cut shrubs and overgrowth from a landscaping project.
What Our Grapple
Services Include
Grapple service is the haul-off side of tree work. Most of the time it's part of a job we're already doing — a tree removal, a pruning job, or a storm cleanup — and it's in that job's written price. It's also available on its own when the cutting is already done and the pile just needs to go.
The truck takes tree and landscape material only. And if what you've got is small enough that a crew with a chipper is the cheaper answer, we'll tell you that too.
What the Grapple Truck Doesn't Haul
These need a different truck and a different facility, so we'll say so at the estimate rather than load half the pile:
- Household trash. Garbage and junk from the house or garage.
- Construction debris. Leftovers from building or remodeling work.
- Concrete or brick. Broken slabs, pavers, or masonry.
- Metal. Scrap, appliances, or anything else that isn't tree or landscape material.
Mixed pile? If any of that is in with the brush, point it out when you request the estimate. Not sure whether something counts? Ask — we'd rather answer it on the phone than at the curb.
With Our Tree Work
or as a Standalone Pickup
The grapple truck supports our tree work, and it also runs on its own. Which one fits your job decides how it's priced and scheduled.
Part of a Tree Job
We're taking a tree down, pruning, or cleaning up after a storm, and the wood has to go.
- Tree removal: the crew cuts and lowers the tree; the grapple loads the trunk wood, limbs, and brush
- Storm damage cleanup: damaged trees made safe or removed, then the debris hauled
- Pruning and trimming jobs with more cut wood than the chipper alone should handle
- Stump grinding, when you want the grindings hauled instead of left
Cleanup is part of every removal quote, not an add-on: the haul-off is in the same written price as the tree work.
Standalone Pickup
The cutting is done. The pile just needs to leave.
- Brush and limbs from your own trimming or yard work
- Wood another crew cut and left behind
- Storm-downed limbs and branches, once the trees themselves are sound
- Cut shrubs and overgrowth from a landscaping project
Priced on the volume you have and how the truck reaches it, in writing, before it's scheduled.
A tree on the house, a limb hanging over a door, or a trunk split toward a structure isn't a pickup. Call (316) 207-4740: the line is answered 24/7, and true hazards go ahead of scheduled work. See 24/7 emergency tree service.
Why a Grapple Truck
Instead of Hand-Loading
As They Lie
Set-Up
Before Scheduling
Where the Truck Parks
and How Loading Works
The grapple truck is a heavy truck with a hydraulic boom, run by an operator from a seat on the truck. It's set up to load from the street or the driveway, not to drive across your lawn. Here's what that means for your pile.
- Set-up on pavement. The truck usually parks on the street or the driveway and swings the boom out to the pile.
- Loose is fine. No bundling, bagging, or stacking. The grapple picks material up as it lies, so there's no need to make the pile neat.
- Closer is simpler. A pile near the curb or the driveway is the easiest pickup. If the debris is behind a fence, down a slope, or far from where the truck can park, say so; how the material gets to the truck is worked out, and priced, at the estimate.
- Room overhead. The boom needs clearance to swing, so mention power or cable lines, low limbs, or a roof edge near the pile.
- A clear place to park. If you can, move cars, trailers, or bins from the spot in front of the pile before pickup day.
- Gates and pets. If the crew needs to go through a gate, tell us which one and keep pets inside. Won't be home? Say so when you book, and we'll go over access ahead of time.
We don't quote boom reach or load sizes on a web page. Every pile and every driveway is different, so access and volume are checked at the free estimate.
Our Grapple Truck
& Crew
The grapple truck is our own equipment, run by our own crew — not a hauler we call in. An operator works the hydraulic boom and grapple from a seat on the truck, lifting limbs, logs, and root balls into the dump box, so nobody is carrying wood back and forth across your yard.
How Grapple Truck Service
Is Scheduled
Three steps from first call to a cleared yard. The estimate is free, there's no obligation, and nothing goes on the calendar until you approve the price.
Call or Send the Form
Call (316) 207-4740 or request a debris pickup online. Tell us what's in the pile, roughly how much, and where it sits. The phone is answered 24/7, and we respond to requests the same day or next day.
Free Estimate, Written Price
We look at the volume and how the truck can reach it, in person, and give you one written price. When the hauling is part of a removal, pruning, or storm job, it's in that job's price, not a separate bill.
Scheduled Once You Approve
Approve the price and the pickup goes on the calendar; on tree jobs, the hauling is planned into the job. The date depends on the schedule at the time, and after a big storm, trees on houses and other true hazards go first. We don't quote a pickup date or arrival window on a web page.
What to Tell Us for a
Debris Pickup Estimate
These details, given on the phone or typed into the message box on the estimate form, let us price the pickup and plan where the truck sets up.
- Where the pile is. Your address and town, and where the debris sits: front yard, backyard, side yard, or already at the curb. We work within about 40 miles of our base in Park City.
- What's in it. Brush, limbs, logs, trunk sections, root balls, or stump grindings, and anything else mixed in.
- About how much. A rough size is enough: how long, wide, and high the pile is, or how many trees it came from.
- Where the truck can park. Street, driveway, or alley, and how far that spot is from the pile.
- What's in the way. Fences and gates, slopes, soft ground, and any wires or low limbs over the pile.
- Where it came from. Your own trimming, a storm, a landscaping project, or a crew that cut and left. If a damaged tree is still standing or a limb is still hanging, say so: that's tree work first.
- Whether you need tree work too. A removal, pruning, or stump grinding at the same address can be priced together on one estimate.
- Any date you're working toward. An HOA notice, a move, or a project start. We'll tell you honestly whether the schedule can meet it.
Debris pickup is priced on the volume and the access and quoted in writing before it's scheduled. We don't publish a flat rate; every pile is priced on its own.

It's priced on the volume of material and how the truck reaches it, and quoted free, in writing, before anything is scheduled. We don't publish a flat rate. When the hauling is part of tree work we're doing — a removal, pruning, or storm cleanup — it's in that job's written price rather than billed separately. A standalone pickup gets its own written price.
Tree and landscape material: brush, branches, limbs, logs, trunk sections, root balls, stump grindings, storm-downed wood, and cut shrubs or overgrowth from a landscaping project. It loads loose piles straight off the ground.
Household trash, construction debris, concrete, brick, and metal. Those need a different truck and a different facility. If any of it is mixed into a brush pile, point it out when you request the estimate so it's sorted out before pickup day.
No. That's the whole point of the grapple truck. The hydraulic grapple picks up loose piles directly — no bundling, bagging, or stacking required on your part. Just show us where the debris is.
It usually sets up on the street or the driveway and reaches the pile with its boom, so it doesn't drive across your lawn. If the debris is behind a fence, down a slope, or far from where the truck can park, tell us when you request the estimate. How the material gets to the truck is worked out, and priced, at the free estimate.
We respond to requests the same day or next day, and the phone is answered 24/7. A pickup goes on the calendar once you approve the written price. The date depends on the schedule at the time, and after a big storm, trees on houses and other true hazards go first. We don't quote a pickup date or arrival window on a web page.
Tell us when you book. If you won't be there, we'll go over access ahead of time: where the truck can park, which gate to use, and where the pile is.
Yes. The grapple truck often works alongside our tree removal, pruning, and storm jobs, but a pile you cut yourself, or one another company left behind, can be picked up on its own. It gets its own written estimate.
No. The grapple loads and hauls; it doesn't take trees down. On a tree removal, our crew cuts and lowers the tree, and the grapple truck loads the trunk wood, limbs, and brush. Cleanup is part of every removal quote, not an add-on.
We serve Wichita and the communities within about 40 miles, including Park City, Derby, Bel Aire, Andover, Newton, Goddard, Maize, El Dorado, Augusta, Rose Hill, and Whitewater. Not sure if you're in range? Call us at (316) 207-4740 to confirm.
Yes. Alongside homeowner cleanups we take grapple service calls from landscapers, builders, HOAs, and property managers — including piles another crew cut and walked away from. Tell us roughly how much material is on the ground and where the truck can set up, and we'll price it.
No — they solve different problems. A chipper turns brush into chips and has to be fed by hand, one limb at a time. A grapple clamps whole limbs, trunk sections, and root balls straight off the ground and into the bed. For a small trim pile, a crew and chipper is usually the cheaper call and we'll say so. At removal or storm volume, the grapple is faster and far easier on the lawn.
