Tree remover- Weapon of Mass Conservation
"Happy Holidays from WMC! 🎄 We are officially off-duty from today until January 12th. We’re sorry for the delay with your tools, but we’ll be back at full speed in the New Year. Wishing you a great holiday—get out there, enjoy the hills, and have a fantastic break!"
The Weapon of Mass Conservation offers a powerful solution to the persistent challenge of invasive pest plants across Aotearoa. See it in action in our early prototype video! This robust tool swiftly removes trees up to 50mm in diameter at the base (approximately 1.8m high, specifically tested on Pinus Radiata), making short work of gorse, pine, and broom infestations.
Here's how the WMC empowers your conservation efforts:
Root and Branch Removal: Engineered for efficient removal, the WMC lifts trees out by the roots, preventing regrowth and ensuring long-term control.
Ergonomic Operation: Say goodbye to back strain! The design eliminates the need for bending, promoting safer and more comfortable work.
Built to Last, Light to Carry: Constructed from high-strength steel alloy with high tensile bolts, the WMC offers exceptional durability without sacrificing portability, weighing in at approximately 3kg – similar to standard forestry loppers.
Intuitive Design: The spring-loaded action simplifies fitting the tool to the target plant and allows it to stand independently when not in use. The hickory handle provides a comfortable and secure grip.
Registered Innovation: The WMC's unique design is protected under Design Registration Number: 427632.
The Weapon of Mass Conservation isn't just about removing pest plants; it's about streamlining the process, enhancing safety, and ultimately enabling more effective and manageable conservation work in Aotearoa.
