How to cut a tree quickly and safely
Working safely is a priority that should never be forgotten. Whatever the area in which you are working, it is worth remembering that when you work with inexperienced personnel, without the proper tools and with poor attention, there are numerous risks that can be incurred.
One example of a potential hazard is ground-moving equipment: very heavy and bulky vehicles that often find themselves working in precarious conditions such as marshy or very sloping terrain, excessive weights or simply little room to maneuver.

In forestry it is easy for this to happen: roads are not there, very often one has to work on riverbanks or hillsides. Sometimes it is necessary to uproot trees that are dangerous to surrounding homes or to make room for a new road.

Deforestation shears: from forest maintenance...
CMB deforestation pliers are a suitable solution for this purpose: they are made from Swedish sourced Hardox 450 steel, a wear-resistant material with a long service life, even with minimal maintenance.
Deforestation shears can be CW or PW series and can be mounted on excavators from 5 to 11 tons (the CWs) or even up to 35 tons (the PWs). They feature a compact design and low weight, which enables them not to place an additional burden on the excavator's final mass, even when this comes to exceed the capacity of the truck carrying it.
Such shears are lightweight yet extremely powerful; a reinforced blade attachment prevents them from accidentally coming off during work, while high-strength seals make them suitable for the continuous stresses and strains given by the resistance of trees and roots.

The deforestation shears are equipped with hydraulic controlled rotation, which allows the tree not only to be removed but also rotated to easily rest in the collection area, preparing it for later transport.
... to city operations
CMB deforestation grapples are the best allies for cutting trees, even large trees, in minutes and in total safety.
The maintenance of forest areas is their ideal use, but as mentioned they can also be very useful in built-up areas, in cases of emergency: for example, where old trees are in danger of falling on houses as a result of landslides, floods or violent gusts of wind.
These special cutters can also be used to pick up shrubs, in order to complete the work of clearing any area, without the need to call in other workers or another piece of machinery to do such side work.

In addition to the deforestation shears
CMB also manufactures log splitters and stump shears to make the entire clearing operation of the targeted area even smoother.
Forget about classic tree cutting, the kind with a chainsaw and lots of workers at work, with poor safety measures and long lead times: CMB can equip you with effective, high-quality equipment designed to last a long time and preserve operators from potential accidents, while giving you a way to save a considerable amount of time.
