Adaptability and Versatility
With a low weight-to-cutting-capacity ratio, the S400 is compatible with hydraulic excavators from 13 to 20 tonnes. Its custom mounting system allows for quick and easy installation and removal.
Equipped with a standard accumulator arm, it improves production cycles—especially for small wood. Available with or without rotation depending on the machine, it ensures fast return on investment.
Its strong yet lightweight build minimizes ground impact in wet or winter conditions. Excavator movements remain fast, increasing productivity for both thinning and clear-cutting operations. High-strength steel ensures durability and reliability regardless of tree type.
In addition to forestry operations, the S400 is ideal for roadside, highway, and difficult access work, safely removing obstructive or hazardous trees. It effectively replaces often strenuous and risky manual interventions.
Increased efficiency and productivity
The S400’s optimized design reduces felling time and improves forest resource management. Its hydraulic mechanism guarantees clean cuts, minimizing damage to remaining vegetation and encouraging healthier regrowth.
With an optional 360° continuous rotation, the S400 offers increased flexibility and precise positioning of cuts, ideal for dense or hard-to-reach environments.
Easy maintenance and durability
A key advantage of the S400 is its simplified maintenance. Easily accessible components allow for quick field servicing.
Wear parts made of high-strength steel can be replaced without complex disassembly, lowering ownership costs.
Specific Use Cases
The S400 shear head is used in various contexts, including:
- Commercial forestry operations: Fast and effective felling for firewood or timber production in clear-cutting or thinning
- Urban forest management: Safe trimming and cutting along roads and sensitive infrastructure
- Power line maintenance: Rapid removal of trees and branches threatening high-voltage lines
- Restoration of degraded forests: Selective removal of dead or invasive trees to promote natural regeneration
A strategic choice for sustainable forest management
The S400 shear head is ideal for forestry operators seeking to balance performance with environmental responsibility. By reducing emissions and optimizing felling operations, it supports more sustainable forest resource use.
Thanks to its technological innovations and robust design, it is a strategic investment for any forestry company aiming to increase efficiency while minimizing ecological impact.
With SEVE shear heads, you gain the edge to keep cutting with ease.
