Austin Tree Experts runs 7 trucks, 12 pieces of professional-grade equipment, and 8 interchangeable attachments — every rig chosen for the job it does best. This page lists the full fleet so you know exactly what arrives on-site when we do.

The Versatility of our Switch-N-Go Fleet

Two of our trucks — our Isuzu FTR and Ford F750 — run the Switch-N-Go roll-off system. The system lets us swap the body on the truck (chipper, mulch dump, AirSpade rig, 600-gallon sprayer) in minutes. For our customers, that means the exact right configuration shows up on every job: lower overhead than dispatching multiple specialized trucks, less time shuffling rigs around, and the precision required for technical work like oak wilt macro-infusion or Class A construction-site root protection.

Trucks

Our primary fleet vehicles — each chosen for specific job roles. All trucks run Kaeser-pressure, DOT-compliant, and maintained in-house.
