What PPE is required for forestry work in NZ?

NZ WorkSafe requires forestry workers to wear: chainsaw-rated leg protection (AS/NZS 4453), safety helmet with visor and earmuffs, chainsaw boots, and cut-resistant gloves when operating chainsaws.

What is the difference between Class 1 and Class 2 chainsaw protection?

Class 1 is rated for chainsaw chain speeds up to 20 m/s; Class 2 is rated for higher speeds (up to 24 m/s). Arborists using higher-powered saws should select Class 2 rated PPE.

Bast-Ing ECOVAL Spindle Wedge 12T - Forestry Felling Tool

Bast-Ing Ecocal Bast-Ing spindle wedge 12T $926.34

ECOVAL BAST-ING SPINDLE WEDGE 12T Its robust, simple design makes it a valuable tool for harvesting wood. With the large wedge angle of 16 °, it achieves a sufficient lifting height even with thinner trees. The EcoVal is for smaller trees. It has a higher wedge angle and therefore lower lifting capacity but higher lifting height. Impacts machines up to 1000Nm. Important is that the enlarging cut of the tree goes smooth to the breaking line of the tree. Otherwise the wedge can be pushed out of the cut. TECHNICAL DATA AT A GLANCE: Lifting force: 12t Wedge angle: 16 ° Height 55mm Total length: 280mm Wedge width: 60mm Impact wrench max torque: 1000Nm

Bast-Ing Minifix Thrust Cone Wedge 2-3T - Forestry Tool

Bast-Ing Minifix BaSt-Ing thrust cone wedge 2-3T $870.41

MINIFIX BAST-ING THRUST CONE WEDGE 2-3T With the MiniFix, we are proud to be able to offer you a worldwide new felling wedge concept. The wedge pulls itself into the saw cut by means of the conical wedge. In contrast to conventional conical wedges, the lifting force is brought into the tree via an aluminum wedge. This design generates significantly more lifting force than conventional tapered wedges, while at the same time being simple and robust. The MiniFix is for supporting the ValFix. The lifting capacity depends on the strength of the wood. When the wedge reaches the max capacity the spindle breaks the wood out of the tree. Ideally suited to bring down trees with a small back slope quickly and safely. The lifting force of the ValFix can be increased by using the MiniFix as well.When repositioning the ValFix, the MiniFix is used to support the tree. Due to the tree shape of the MiniFix, the MiniFix also pulls itself into a closed saw joint to quickly and easily free a jammed chainsaw if necessary. TECHNICAL DATA AT A GLANCE: Weight: 1.4kg Length: 280mm Maximum torque 700Nm on the 10mm hex Maximum torque 1700Nm on the 24mm hex The MiniFix has a 10mm drive and a 24mm drive. It can therefore be used in combination with ValFix and ValFast. ITEM 700070
