Axer L-Model: Designed for Efficient and Fast Loading
The Axer L-model has been specifically developed for contractors who value smooth workflow and speed.

Its design allows for effortless wood handling even in dense terrain, making it a top choice for biomass operations across the UK and Ireland.

How to Choose the Right Tree Shears for Your Excavator?
Selecting the right tree shear is an investment in work efficiency and equipment longevity. When choosing, consider two main factors: the weight class of your base machine and the typical diameter of the timber being processed.
1. Determine the Machine Class
Ensure the tree shear is balanced with your excavator’s hydraulic power and weight. The Axer range is precisely categorised into over 6t and over 12t classes to ensure stability and performance.
2. Nature of the Work
Is your work focused on roadside maintenance and general site clearance (K-model) or fast energy wood collection and loading (L-model)?
3. Optional Extras and Durability
HD (Heavy Duty) models are designed for continuous, extremely heavy-duty use where reliability is critical for maintaining uptime.
