Tree Shear – Woodcracker CL260 Rigid

Engineering and Design: High-Level Hardox® Durability.  
Manufactured entirely from high-strength Hardox® steel, the Woodcracker CL260 combines a low net weight with exceptional durability, allowing it to be mounted on a wide variety of carrier machines. To withstand humid environments and demanding climates, the structure features a KTL (cathodic dip-priming) treatment and a high-quality powder coating. Its proven technology guarantees low maintenance and an extended service life under the most challenging conditions.

Performance and Feed: Optimized Power on the Job Site.
This rigid model stands out for its simple and direct connection to the machine head, featuring an optimized mounting angle that facilitates operational precision. It is equipped with a powerful gripper with a 760 mm opening, ensuring a firm hold during the cutting process. The hydraulic system is designed to operate with flows between 50 and 100 l/min, integrating seamlessly into the standard fleet of mid-sized excavators.

Cutting Quality: Technical and Interchangeable Blade.
The CL260’s cutting mechanism features a high-strength blade that is resistant to dirt and easy to resharpen. Its design allows for quick replacement, ensuring the equipment is always ready for peak performance. It provides high cutting capacity, reaching 260 mm in hardwood, and optimizes the quality of processed material for biomass use.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What wood diameter can the Woodcracker CL260 cut? This head has a cutting capacity of up to 320 mm in softwood and 260 mm in hardwood.

2. Can it be used for safety tree felling on roadsides? It is not recommended for that specific application. The Woodcracker CL series is not suitable for hazardous tree removal (safety tree felling) because it cannot guarantee a full safety grip of the cut material. For high-risk felling, we recommend the Woodcracker C or CS series.

3. What maintenance does the blade require? The blade is made of high-strength steel and is very robust against dirt. It is easily replaceable and allows for simple resharpening to maintain cutting efficiency.

4. Can I install it on a telehandler? Yes. Thanks to its low net weight, it is perfectly mountable on farm loaders, telehandlers, or wheel loaders, in addition to standard excavators.

5. What advantages does the KTL protection offer? The KTL priming combined with powder coating provides industrial-grade corrosion protection. This is vital for equipment operating in the humid and rainy climates common in forestry environments.
