Arbor Guy maintains a fleet of modern machinery and equipment and has a fleet management software program which enables tracking of fuel consumption and fuel efficiency.
The utilisation of battery-powered saws on some projects in or near environmentally sensitive areas reduces the impact of noise on native species such as the endangered ring tail possum and the saws do not produce the emissions that petrol-powered saws do.
