Menzi muck7/8/2023 It also lessens the need for other machinery on-site, making it a cost-effective solution.Īlso included is the X watch XW5 RCI with slew and height restrictor, so when working in environments that may be near live rail or roads, we can set restrictors so there is no potential risk for the Menzi the encroach in live traffic. This minimises downtime and allows a completely different operation to take place with minimal effort. This Menzi is equipped with our steel wrist SQ60 tilt rotator and quick oil system which allows us to change attachments in seconds. Our new machine is also a slightly larger machine than our original Menzi, giving us a greater lifting capacity and allowing us to deal with larger trees than before. Making sure our operators have the most optimum protection is one of our key priorities. We have added extra guarding to the cab including a Lexan 20.4mm upgraded windscreen meeting BS ISO 21876 standards allowing our operators to be as safe as possible when dealing with dead and dangerous trees. We have also added wider tyres to reduce the impact on any ground we travel over, making sure any 3 rd party land we work on, is left as if we were never there. The grapple saw also generates 0% chain shot risk to the operator or banksman (meaning if the chain broke it couldn’t strike anyone on site). The grapple saw leaves a nice clean, tidy cut to the tree that a normal tree shear would not. We chose to purchase this as some of our clients require trees to be either pollarded, coppiced, or left as a monolith. The most recent upgrades include our VOSCH RSG1600-7T-HD grapple saw. The Menzi Muck has been a popular piece of mech arb kit for many years. With the Fae Mulcher attachment, it has the capacity to take 190L of oil per min at 350bar which provides enough power to mulch up to 20 trees per hour, on even the most extreme of sites. It has a cutting capability of 350mm, huge amounts of power, and is fitted with Steel wrist and X watch systems, which work in many positions, making it safer and easier to shear and dismantle the largest of trees. This was successfully achieved in just one day.Įquipped with the Westtech tree shear and Vosch grapple saw, the Menzi can reach areas that other 360 excavators cannot. To minimise disturbance to spawning trout and safely clear a build-up of debris around a sewer pipe, the Menzi Muck was deployed to travel through the stream, to clear the blockage. A great example of this was a recent river clearance for Severn Trent.
