The OMEF tree shear is engineered for efficient and controlled cutting of trees in both forestry and urban environments. Available in six models, the range is designed to match varying cutting diameters and installation needs, making it compatible with excavators, tractors, backhoe loaders, and skid steer loaders. This versatility allows operators to choose the right configuration for different terrains, tree types, and machine sizes.
The shear operates using a single double-acting hydraulic line paired with a high-performance cylinder that enables the machine to cut and hold the tree in one smooth motion. This reduces handling time, improves safety, and extends the life of the equipment by minimising mechanical stress. The structure is built entirely from high-strength steel, ensuring long-term durability even under heavy-duty working conditions.
Cutting performance is driven by OMEF’s patented profile blade, welded directly to the frame. This blade is designed to penetrate dense and fibrous wood species such as eucalyptus, olive, and oak. For operators who primarily require a gripping tool, an optional bolted-blade version is available that allows the shear to function solely as a handling grapple.
Each tree shear can be supplied with a machine-specific mounting bracket and a dedicated hose kit upon request, making installation quick and straightforward.
