The KX Speed Valve takes the efficiency of the tree shear to a new level – an innovation that speeds up the grapple’s movements and improves its controllability

The tree shear is designed for cutting, stacking, and loading energy wood, such as small trees and branches. These grapples are used in forestry, agriculture, and road maintenance. Versatile tree shears can be employed to maintain forests, clear roadside areas or field edges, and collect wood for bioenergy plants. They are also useful in rescue operations, such as clearing firebreaks or cleaning up storm damage.

The advantage of an wood grapple is its ability to process a larger volume of wood in a shorter time. The need for manual labor decreases, which simultaneously speeds up processes and reduces physical strain on workers. As a result, the grapple improves workplace well-being and lowers the risk of work-related injuries.

The KX Tree Shear is lightweight and easy to maintain

The wood grapples developed by KX-TreeShears stand out from competitors’ products due to their modular design and detachable blade. The modular structure makes the grapple lightweight, user-friendly, efficient, and versatile. It also simplifies maintenance. Instead of replacing the entire tree shear, the modular design allows for the replacement of only worn or damaged parts. The blade can be quickly detached when needed, making the grapple suitable for loading as well.

Customers have been highly satisfied with KX Tree Shears. The high-quality grapples save time, partly because the jaw opening angle is wider than average, allowing a larger amount of wood to be collected at once. Additionally, the grapple’s sleek design enhances visibility for the operator.

Thanks to the new innovative speed valve, users can get even more out of the already efficient grapple. KX-TreeShears’ wood grapples are already widely used in the Nordic countries, other parts of Europe, and North America, and the new valve is a natural addition to the product family.

KX Speed Valve for more efficient work

The KX Speed Valve is designed to speed up the two-cylinder KX Tree Shear. This small yet powerful valve elevates the grapple’s performance to an even higher level. The speed valve significantly accelerates the movement of the grapple’s jaws, even doubling the speed of opening and closing motions. This speeds up work and boosts productivity.

The valve offers clear benefits in operation. The grapple’s controls respond more sensitively, and the fast movements make work more intuitive. These factors increase the tree shears’ user-friendliness, making it an even more pleasant tool for professionals.

The valve measures just 60 x 120 x 150 mm. Its small size allows it to be installed, for example, directly inside the tree shear’s frame, saving space and simplifying installation.
