Fourteen years ago, the Upper Austrian machinery company Westtech Maschinenbau GmbH introduced the first felling grapple to the market. Technical finesse and in-house know-how led to a product series that sets new standards. But that’s not all! Just in time for Agritechnica 2023, a new flagship is being introduced:
The largest felling grapple to date, the Woodcracker® C650!
Mario Hemetsberger knew early on where his professional path should lead, and at the age of 18, he founded his company “Forestry Company Hemetsberger.” Today, the 25-year-old is very successful with his business, offering a wide range of services such as problematic tree felling, timber harvesting, reforestation, and more.
The service company “Baumpflege Lautenschlager” has been working with forestry machines from Westtech for almost 2 years now. “Our range of services includes everything related to trees,” says Martin Lautenschlager when asked about the main activities of his company. The Woodcracker® CB150 cardanic cutting head and the Woodcracker® CS510 crane grip saw are of great service in increasing efficiency in everyday work and providing more safety during work compared to a lift platform.
On the To-Do-List of every land owner or contractor is the maintenance of green areas written down from spring to autumn. Green areas must be maintained like arable land – independent of size, location, and the vegetation. Unfortunately, some green areas are not suited for grazing or for mowing because of various reasons. That is the reason, why WESTTECH, a mechanical engineering company in Upper Austria, developed the Mulcher for maintaining overgrown greens.
Tree care – tree removal – garden and landscaping – storm damage cleanup – all of this is offered by the company “Ihr Baumprofi”. The company relies on Westtech and the Woodcracker® as strong and reliable partners. The company owner, Josef Höllinger, already owns several Woodcracker® machines: a Woodcracker® CL260 tree shear, a Woodcracker® L700 splitting tongs, two Woodcracker® CS750 smart grip saws, and two articulated grip saws Woodcracker® CS510 crane.
