PREDATOR TREE SHEAR SAFER, FASTER TREE CLEARANCE FOR CONTRACTORS

The McElhill Engineering Ltd Predator Tree Shear is a hydraulic shearing attachment for excavators, designed and built in Fermanagh for contractors who need to fell, cut and clear trees without putting a chainsaw operator on the ground. Available in two sizes the Predator 200 for 4 to 9 tonne excavators and the Predator 450 for 10 to 20 tonne excavators both built to order with a custom headstock matched exactly to your machine.

One operator in the cab. The cutting done safely from the arm. No groundworker in the danger zone.

The Safety Advantage One Operator. One Machine.

Nobody on the Ground.

Traditional tree felling puts a chainsaw operator on the ground alongside a moving excavator. That is a risk that should not exist on a modern worksite. The Predator Tree Shear puts all the cutting power on the excavator arm. The operator stays in the cab, the machine does the work, and the ground crew stay clear.

For contractors working to tight seasonal schedules, that also means faster cycle times. No waiting on a ground operator to make safe, no coordination delays. Cut, process and move on.

Every Predator leaves our Fermanagh workshop with a custom headstock built to your exact pin size, centres and hydraulic spec. It arrives ready to work. Call 07734 357 045 to discuss your machine spec before ordering.

All servicing and repairs are carried out at our own workshop in Fermanagh. No sending machines off to a third party we deal with it directly.
