Minimal ground disturbance
One of the fundamental benefits of using LGP excavators in tree and vegetation clearance at larger sites is to minimise ground disturbance. When compared to traditional equipment and machinery, LGP excavators have a much better ability to operate with minimal ground disturbance and compaction. The specific design of the excavators used by Treeclear UK significantly reduces ground pressure. Therefore, they are suitable for working on soft or sensitive sites including peatlands and wetlands.
Treeclear UK’s fleet of LGP excavators have the capability of travelling over extremely soft and sensitive ground with minimum ground disturbance and compaction.
Reduced environmental impact
Another key benefit of LGP excavators is the reduced environmental impact they have. It’s no secret that environmental sustainability is a concern across all industries but this modern-day machinery is an excellent choice in regard to an environmentally friendly choice for tree and vegetation clearance.
In reference to the first benefit, minimising ground disturbance, LGP mulching and vegetation removal is the first step in helping preserve or restore natural habitats. This makes our modern-day excavators particularly valuable in conservation projects or when working in protected areas where minimising environmental impact is a top priority.
Improved efficiency and precision
Did you know that our low ground pressure excavators also provide improved efficiency and precision compared to traditional machinery and methods? Yes, that’s right! Our fleet of specialist low ground pressure machines are equipped with state to the art stage v compliant engines for low emissions zones. The latest PDF turbocharged engine has more power and torque along with high performance hydraulics. Our machines are the most powerful and efficient machines in their class.
Our excavators are available with a number of attachments for various sizes and complexities of projects. For example, mulchers, cutting heads, grapples and shears. As a result, this allows the excavators to handle multiple tasks with a single machine. As you can imagine, this significantly enhances efficiency and further reduces the requirement for additional machinery.
Versatility across applications
Low ground pressure excavators also provide much-needed versatility across various applications. Treeclear UK has completed many projects throughout the UK using LGP excavators from tree shearing, ground preparation, firebreak creation, rewetting and ditch blocking on peat bogs. This makes Treeclear UK a valuable asset for companies involved in diverse land management requiring a single contractor to deliver specialist projects.
Enhanced manoeuvrability
Vegetation and tree clearance on a larger scale often take place in areas with uneven or challenging terrain. More often than not in these circumstances, standard equipment is not sufficient and LGP excavators are required. They are required and the most suitable option because they are specifically designed to handle all types of challenging terrains due to the fact they provide excellent floatation and stability, allowing them to manoeuvre effectively over soft terrain.
Without causing excessive disruption to the landscape, excavators offer enhanced manoeuvrability to get the job done efficiently while minimising the environmental footprint of the area too.
