Lineberger’s Tree Service was founded over 20 years ago by Brent Lineberger and his wife Beverley, arborists in Raleigh, North Carolina. They are both ISA Certified Arborists and earned their academic degrees in industry-related programs from NC State University. They not only take pride in their vast experience and credentials but also in the respect they have earned in the community, through hard work and great service.  As such, they expect their vendors and other companies they partner with, to also uphold high values.

• Was compact enough to access tight spots and be transported easily
• Could lift 2,500+ pounds of material
• Was backed by a company that gave them peace of mind due to their great customer service and parts availability

After some research, they found that the ideal machine would be a compact articulated wheel loader – in part also because it had the added benefit of being gentle on the ground. The Lineberger’s began finding that most brands just did not check all the boxes. Some that offered the ultra-compact design, simply could not lift enough.  Some had gained a reputation for delayed parts and unsatisfactory customer service.

Then, they found DFD Loaders – the exclusive US importer and distributor of Schäffer construction equipment. DFD Loader’s president David Font discussed the wish list with Brent and soon determined that the right machine for Lineberger’s Tree Service was the Schäffer 2428 SLT, which not only can access small areas, but has a tipping load of 3,400 pounds.

See what Brent Lineberger is saying about the purchase a year later!
