FARMA BC18
As part of our partnership with FORS MW, Exc@v8 are proud to offer the BC series of tree shears.
Made with Swedish high-tensile, wear resistant steel, the BC18 is primarily an energy head which can be adapted to provide a low-cost, lightweight tree shear for excavators and primarily for use up to the 6 tonne weight class. With this application in mind, the body is reinforced and head bracket angle optimised.
The simple design ensures life-long durability combined with huge usability and effectiveness. Use of a 'fixed-knife' design minimises the number of moving parts and the clever knife shape ensures low effort cutting.
Weighing a mere 190kg the BC18 is available as standard with S30, S40 and S45 couplings, or optionally with a hitch bracket of your choice.
This is the most competitively priced shear on the market - call us now for great deals! **In stock**
