Green-TecTM, a leading manufacturer of tree care and vegetation management solutions, has expanded the capabilities of its flagship TH3 tree handler by integrating the VOSCH BKS 1610 grapple saw. This robust attachment is designed to handle the most challenging trees, improving the overall productivity and effectiveness of tree care operations, including roadside tree felling, storm clean-up, and large-scale vegetation management projects.

Green-Tec delivers high-quality reliable equipment tailored to the needs of tree care professionals, including the TH3 Tree Handler, designed to optimize tree felling and trimming operations. Its compact design, weighing only 21.9 tons, offers excellent maneuverability without compromising on performance. The four-wheel drive and steering provide a 15-feet turning radius, allowing operators to navigate tight spaces and difficult terrains with ease. An elevating cabin, which tilts 30 degrees, enhances operator visibility and comfort, particularly when working on steep inclines or uneven surfaces.

As a supplier of the VOSCH BKS 1610, including being the exclusive supplier in North America, Green-Tec brings a respected European solution to the market. The VOSCH grapple saw is capable of handling trees and limbs up to 24 inch in diameter, making it an indispensable tool for large-scale tree removal projects. Together, the TH3 and VOSCH provide a reach of 49 feet via a telescopic boom, enabling operators to access and trim trees efficiently and safely, whether at ground level or in the canopy.

One of the key advantages of the VOSCH grapple saw is its durability. Jamie Mairs, Business Line Director at Green-Tec, explains, “A tree handler’s performance is only as good as its attachment. We chose VOSCH for its strong reputation in Europe, and its design ensures excellent performance at full reach. The tilt system, powered by a cylinder rather than a rotator, generates 82 kNm of tilting force, offering precision and control during every cut.”

Additionally, the VOSCH grapple saw features a unique design with four motors for rotation, eliminating the need for a gearbox. This innovation reduces costly breakdowns, as well as lowering maintenance costs compared to traditional gear-driven systems.

Contractors have already recognized the benefits of the TH3 and VOSCH attachments, citing their simple, robust design and unmatched efficiency. Chad Watkins, Forestry Equipment Specialist at Powerscreen Mid Atlantic, North America commended, “The ¾” harvester saw system and the 65 feet safe working zone provide greater safety and precision when cutting. This system makes our work easier and safer.”

Green-Tec also offers a range of complementary VOSCH attachments, including stump grinders and mulchers, that enhance the TH3 tree handler’s versatility. These attachments are ideal for tasks such as debris clearing, stump grinding, and tree mulching, which are frequently required in tree care and vegetation management operations.

Aloys Van Osch, owner of VOSCH added, “We are excited to collaborate with Green-Tec to bring our advanced, market-leading technology to North America. Together, we’re offering tree care professionals access to the best equipment available, which enhances performance, reduces downtime, and improves safety.”

Whether for storm debris clearance, large-scale vegetation removal, or roadside tree maintenance, the combination of the Green-Tec TH3 tree handler and VOSCH BKS 1610 grapple saw provides an efficient, precise, and safe solution.
