Masterhitch Europe Ltd- Why would you use the Tree Shears?
With exciting and new unique attachments being designed and manufactured at Masterhitch, we thought we would start with the Tree Shears. With a fair amount of digger attachments and buckets it can be hard to select the correct attachment. This week we discuss what sorts of projects the tree shears are perfect for, as well as the various tree shears we stock at Masterhitch.
The tree shears will benefit any plant fleet, as well as individuals looking to clear trees in a timely manner. If this sounds of interest to you then find out more.
What are the Tree Shears?
As the name suggests, tree shears are perfect for landscaping and forestry clearing tasks. For any commercial landscaping and agricultural companies the tree shear is ideal. It is also an essential plant accessory to have on hand.
Despite the fact that the tree shear attachment is unique in terms of the advantages it offers, various engineering companies can make the attachment. Most tree shears are designed with two claw-like clamps to grip onto the desired tree.
At Masterhitch Europe Ltd, our tree shears differ in design compared to our competitors. We bespoke manufacture them with additional support when transporting the chopped trees, with an extra metal base at the bottom ensuring the operator can safely handle and manoeuver the trees.
Our Masterhitch tree shears can slice through trees that are up to 12 inches/300mm in diameter safely.
How does it work?
Once the tree shear has been fitted to the excavator, the operator will be able to position the bottom of the digger attachment to sit firmly on the ground, to safely clamp around the base of the tree. The blades will then slice cleanly through the tree, and the clamp will hold the tree in place. It is a simple design with just one single hydraulic ram.
As most existing tree shear attachments have been designed to just cut through the trees, extra plant equipment and attachments may be required to then transport the trees to another location on the site.
In colder weather conditions, the ripper attachment is incredibly useful when partnered up with the tree shear. When the ground is harder, and trees become increasingly harder to remove, the ripper can break up rocky and harder surfaces of ground to free up tree roots. Once the visible part of the tree is cut down with the tree shear, the tree stump is then easily removed.
