A portable lift apparatus (10) and method for removing a planted or mature tree for transport and transplanting in a new location utilizing a base support (12) which is dimensioned so as to fit entirely within a trench (14) dug about the base of a tree, and at least one hydraulic or pressurized lifting member (18) connected to the base support (12). The portable lift apparatus (10) is positioned below at least one support member (32) located on a root ball support harness (30) wherein the lifting member (18) is controllably brought into engagement with the support member (32) so as to force the root ball and tree upward to a desired height from the ground. The present invention is particularly suited for use with transplanting mature trees because the need for large, motorized lift equipment is obviated.
L'invention se rapporte à un appareil de levage portable (10) et à un procédé visant à retirer un arbre planté ou mature pour le transporter et le transplanter dans un nouvel endroit, cet appareil comprenant un support de base (12) dimensionné de façon à entrer totalement dans une tranchée (14) creusée autour d'un arbre, et au moins un élément de levage hydraulique ou sous-pression (18) raccordé au support de base (12). Cet appareil de levage portable (10) est positionné sous un élément de support (32) placé sur un harnais de support (30) de la motte racinaire. L'élément de levage (18) est soigneusement mis en contact avec l'élément de support (32) de façon à pousser la motte racinaire et l'arbre vers le haut jusqu'à une hauteur désirée au-dessus du sol. La présente invention est notamment appropriée pour être utilisée dans la transplantation d'arbres matures et évite d'avoir recours à un équipement de levage motorisé, encombrant.
