Suitable for a range of projects such as site clearance, clear fells and thinning operations, tree shears are the fastest and safest way of felling trees. We have a vast experience in shearing trees, from removing diseased trees in existing timber crops to clearing entire woodlands.

For smaller trees we operate shears up to 300mm. These units fit on our forestry spec 9-ton excavators ideal for working within woodlands or on our low ground pressure machines for working on sensitive sites for peatland restoration work.

We also operate a 400mm shear on a low ground pressure forestry spec Takeuchi TB2150 fitted with an engcon unit. This machine gives us ultimate versatility and shearing capability, for anything bigger we just click on the 600mm grapple saw to give us that bit extra! Combined with our other TB2150 equipped with a shear or timber grab they make the ideal tag team for larger felling projects or awkward windblow sites.

For advice on tree shearing on larger projects, please get in touch with our team today. You can call us directly at 07813 140683 or via our online contact form and we’ll get back to you promptly. We look forward to dealing with your enquiry.
