🇬🇧 Why Choose a UK-Manufactured Tree Shear? Precision. Strength. Support. 🇬🇧

  • Made In-House. Made to Last.

    Since we manufacture these components in-house:

    ✔ We control quality at every stage

    ✔ We maintain consistent standards across all models

    ✔ We can supply spare parts long into the future

    When you choose UK manufacturing, you’re choosing accountability, engineering integrity, and ongoing support — not just a product in a crate.

    Built for hard work. Built to last. Built in Britain.

  • CNC Bevelled Hardox® 450 Blades

    Our blades are precision CNC machined from Hardox® 450 for optimal cutting geometry.

    Unlike heat-cut alternatives, we machine the bevels using machine tools — not heat.

    Why does that matter?

    Heat cutting causes a heat affected zone (HAZ), reducing hardness and toughness along the blade edge surface. By machining the bevel instead, we preserve the material’s full strength and wear resistance — delivering a sharper, tougher, longer-lasting cutting edge.

  • CNC Machined Tensile-Loading Pivot Pins

    The shear pivot is the heart of the machine — and ours are engineered as stressed components, not just simple pins.

    Each pin has 4 end bolts and a thread-on end cap with a further 4 bolts at the opposite end. This helps it act as a tensile, structural member.

    Our CNC machined tensile-loading pivot pins are designed to:

    • Reduce flex under load
    • Minimise twisting at the blade pivot
    • Maintain alignment and cutting efficiency
    • Increased overall durability

The TS range

Our TS range features and specifications are:

  • CNC machined Hardox® 450 blades, for optimal geometry
  • Hardox® 450 plate throughout for strength, wear resistance and light weight
  • 8-bolt main pivot pin retention on all models for secure, wear free service.
  • Carrier Excavator Weights: 2,500 to 14,000 kgs
  • Cut diameters: 200, 250 or 300mm
  • Expert Support: made by us in UK, means full parts backup from factory.
  • Continuous 360 degree rotation - optional extra TS07*

*Machines without dual auxiliary hydraulic circuits will need an additional, optional solenoid valve.

All our excavator Tree Shears are manufactured our own works in Staffordshire, UK.

Made In Britain

Manufactured, using high quality Swedish Hardox® steel, for ultimate wear and strength performance.

Buying directly from a UK manufacturer means you get full factory backup on spares and wear parts, for minimum downtime. An
advantage that often only becomes obvious years down the line.

Parts availability is planned for the full working life of the attachment—not just until the next factory change or supplier switch overseas. You’re far less likely to hear frustrating phrases like “we don’t deal with that factory anymore” or “the part is available, but it’s a six to eight week lead time.”

Downtime is expensive. Waiting weeks for a wear part to arrive from abroad can easily cost more than the part itself. We typically hold stock of common items or can produce replacement components quickly, keeping your machines working and projects on schedule.

In the long run, a UK-built attachment isn’t just a purchase—it’s an investment in continuity. Knowing that spares, wear parts, and technical backup are readily available provides peace of mind, protects productivity, and helps ensure the attachment remains a reliable asset for years to come.

Tree Felling

Safety

According to the UK Health & Safety Executive:

"Statistics show that the vast majority of fatal and major injuries in tree work are associated with chainsaw operations, being struck by a tree/tree branch or a fall.

Between 1 April 2000 and 31 March 2013 a total of 60 people have been killed as a result of tree work activities and many more have been injured or have suffered ill health.

More than 4,000 people have had their lives affected by the work that they do and these are the ones that HSE know about. There are many more incidents that are never reported to us as they should be.

To put these figures into a wider context, tree work has a major injury incidence rate higher than that of the construction industry."

Consider:

  • Using a tree shear on an excavator totally removes risks associated directly from injury by contact with chainsaws or axes.
  • Putting the operator in a cab, at a greater distance from the tree being felled greatly reduces the risks from falling trees.

UK Tree & Hedge Cutting

The Rules In Brief

Whilst some areas of construction and landscaping and domestic gardens are not necessarily tied to these agricultural rules, there are some general guidelines within them that help to minimise the impact on wildlife and habitats.

  • March 1st:
    Do not cut or trim hedges or trees from this date, but you can carry out
    hedge and tree coppicing and hedge laying from 1 March until 30 April.
  • May 1st:
    You must not carry out hedge or tree coppicing or hedge laying from this date.
  • September 1st:
    You can cut or trim hedges and trees from this date.

Exceptions:
These vary between England and Wales and differ again in Scotland, but the key exceptions are:

  • the hedge overhangs a highway, road or footpath over which there is a public or private right of way and the overhanging hedge obstructs the passage of, or is a danger to, vehicles, pedestrians or horse riders
  • the hedge is dead, diseased, damaged or insecurely rooted and because of its condition, it or part of it, is likely to cause danger by falling on to a highway, road or footpath; or obstructs the view of
    drivers or the light from a public lamp

Why? Wildlife.

Principally, rules are set to protect wildlife. The main concern being bird nesting season, but other mammals and amphibians benefit from a break in both hedge and grass cutting.

Increasingly, there is concern over insect populations, especially bees, so allowing flowering hedges and wild grass areas to remain in flower is also better for encouraging a balanced and healthy ecosystem and maintaining biodiversity.
