General information

Short Summary

Full Description
The privately owned, medium-sized German company was founded 60 years ago. The company manufactures tree spades, which are machines used for digging up and rooting trees in tree nurseries. Large tree spades are used for transplanting mature trees,
and are primarily used by landscaping companies. The manufacturer is the market leader for tree spades in Europe and sells its products on all continents. Its products are well-known and appreciated by tree nurseries and landscapers all over the world. For more than half a century, the company has been gaining experience in the field of tree lifting and has continuously developed its technology. The manufacturer guarantees that its spades are state of the art.

The right machine for every tree - that is the principle behind the new product lines. The range includes three product lines to allow every customer to make an optimum selection of the right tree spade for their needs. All products are developed and manufactured in Germany.

The product range includes:
- The classic tree spades are characterized by the concave shape of their blades. The root ball shape corresponds to the natural root system and thereby promotes regrowth after transplanting.
- The scoop diggers work on the principle of an ice cream scoop, producing a root ball in the shape of a perfect hemisphere. Thanks to the extremely low working height, these machines are well suited for digging low-branched trees and shrubs, especially in tree nurseries with light soils.
- One Line is designed in the style of Truncated Tree Spades which are popular in the US. The blades of these tree spades are straight and open at the bottom. The root balls have the shape of an inverted truncated cone. This type of tree spade is a novelty in Europe.
Advantages and Innovations
- Topics such as sustainability and future-oriented globalization play a major role for the company.
- In 2006, the company founder handed over the management of his company to the next generation. Thanks to decades of experience in developing and producing, the company continues to assert itself as a market leader and offers its customers an innovative and practical all-round service.
- In the future, the entire team will continue to work on making good things even better and to remain in constant exchange with customers and suppliers.
- The management is open to suggestions and requests when it comes to optimizing products or developing machines for unusual applications.
