Forestry Shear

The forestry shear is a  specialized tool designed for felling, cutting, and manipulating trees and branches in forestry operations.
Equipped with an appropriately sharpened Hardox blade, it is a reliable ally in logging operations, offering precision and versatility for targeted operations such as selective tree removal and clearing of wooded areas. It is available in two models with a 250 mm and 380 mm cut.

• Standard Version: The tree shear is rigidly connected to the excavator’s attachment (pin or quick coupler ) with the option to overturn or tilt the equipment.
  For this version, a double-acting hammer line is sufficient.
• Rotation Version: Allows the forestry shear to be equipped with a tilt kit, enabling approximately 40° tilting of the grapple to the right/left, or with a hydraulic rigid rotor providing unlimited 360° rotation.
  This version requires 2 double-acting auxiliary services (4 oil ports).
• Accumulator (optional): An additional chute bolted above the tree shear, responsible for holding and gathering multiple small-sized trees to avoid the need to unload the shear after each cut.

During the felling phase, the operator positions the shear with the open position, placing the appropriate serrated part of the tool against the trunk.
By activating the closing command, the moving part will press the log against the cutting blade, performing the cut.
At this point, the log will be resting on the blade and supported by the moving part.

• In the standard version, it can be used with only the double-acting hammer line, as both the cutting and holding of the trunk are achieved by a single hydraulic cylinder.
• Due to its reduced weight, it can be mounted not only on excavators but also on telescopic handlers and wheel loaders.
• Bolted and interchangeable Hardox blade, easy to replace.
• Well-designed structure and design for low maintenance and wear.
• Usage possibility on different machines thanks to the bolted attachment.
• Application in multiple fields, particularly appreciated in contexts with brambles, shrubs, and undergrowth flora around trees, where a forestry shear with a chainsaw could have difficulties due to continuous snags and interferences on the chainsaw bar.
