Jake Steppe

I have a valid Class A CDL with restrictions

I have a ground guy who I am able to reach out to for assistance with advance notice however there is no guarantee that I will be able to utilize him at any/all times because he has his own career and family

My specialty is crane work bar none but I am also proficient when it comes to installing support cables, routing lightening protection, inspecting & assessing tree health, MRS & SRS, spikeless pruning, simple to complex rigging scenarios, as well as job organization/design, dividing labor or anything else that comes with a leadership position on a production crew.

Professional and experienced tree climbers connecting for recreational climbs, skills practice, technique exchange, informal coaching, and time in the canopy away from production pressure.

A trainer who builds and delivers a tree care company's safety program and its hands-on climbing instruction — written policies and tailgate briefings, climbing systems and work positioning, rigging technique, and timed aerial rescue practice. Often a Certified Treecare Safety Professional (CTSP), engaged for a specific program of training or kept on as an ongoing safety resource.

Having worked with as many different crane services I’ve developed close relationships with a multitude of outfits. I dont operate a crane anymore but my connections have me in a position I can have options for getting a crane on site by the end of the day. I will also do site inspections to identify issues, design jobs, and help choose what crane will be the best suited for the specific job.
