Specialised Equipment for Vegetation Control

JCB Wheeled Excavator – Purpose-Built for Vegetation Management

Our newly acquired JCB Wheeled Excavator is at the core of our vegetation management capabilities. This machine combines power, versatility, and mobility, allowing us to work across a wide range of environments – from road corridors to drainage systems and large rural properties.

Equipped with a suite of advanced attachments, the JCB delivers unmatched flexibility, including:

  • Quad Saw – for fast and efficient large-scale tree and branch cutting.

  • Slasher – ideal for hedging, clearing grass, regrowth, and roadside vegetation.

  • Grapple Saw – providing precision in felling, grabbing, and removing trees or branches safely.

  • 180° Tilt & 360° Slew Drive – ensuring reach, control, and precision in challenging conditions.

  • Custom-Built Drain Spinner – specifically designed to clear laneways and restore drainage flow.

This machine is built tough to withstand demanding conditions, enabling us to deliver vegetation management projects faster, safer, and with minimal disruption to surrounding areas.

Our Capabilities

  • Roadside vegetation clearance and slashing.

  • Precision Hedging & Vegetation Shaping

  • Laneway and drainage restoration.

  • Utility corridor management (powerlines, pipelines, and easements).

  • Tree and branch removal using grapple and quad saw systems.

  • Large-scale mowing and ground-level mulching.

  • Fire break and access track maintenance.

Track Loader with Flail Mower

Complementing the wheeled excavator, our Track Loader with Flail Mower provides powerful ground-level vegetation control. With its low ground pressure and manoeuvrability, it is perfectly suited for:

  • Clearing grass, weeds, gorse and undergrowth in sensitive areas.

  • Maintaining fire breaks and access tracks.

  • Managing vegetation on uneven or soft terrain where wheeled machines may struggle.

  • Reducing green waste through efficient mulching.

This combination allows us to tackle both large-scale vegetation clearance and fine-detail maintenance work, delivering a complete solution to our clients.
