A modern fleet of specialist machinery allows us to undertake technically challenging tree work safely, efficiently and with minimal disruption.
CELA Z210
22m Compact Chassis Access Platform
Our CELA Z210 MEWP provides safe, efficient access to trees where conventional climbing may not be the best option. Ideal for hazardous trees, confined spaces and technically challenging projects, it allows us to work quickly while maintaining the highest safety standards.
✓ Safe access to hazardous and storm-damaged trees
✓ Reduces climbing where appropriate, improving safety
✓ Ideal for confined gardens and restricted access sites
✓ Faster, more efficient completion of complex projects
✓ Minimises disruption to surrounding property and landscaping
IVECO 180/28 4×4
Power, Reach and Precision
Thorman Trees was one of the first arboricultural contractors in North Wales to operate a heavy forestry crane. Investing in specialist lifting equipment transformed the way we approached large and technically demanding tree work, allowing heavy timber, storm-damaged trees and bulky debris to be handled quickly, safely and efficiently.
For our clients, this means shorter project times, reduced manual handling, improved site safety and, in many cases, lower overall costs.
After years of experience, we chose the 18-tonne 4×4 Iveco as the ideal balance of lifting capacity, off-road capability, manoeuvrability and access to challenging sites.
Our latest vehicle is equipped with a Palfinger radio remote crane, giving the operator precise control while maintaining full visibility of the lift. The crane can also be fitted with a grapple and hydraulic shear, allowing sections of trees to be mechanically dismantled and processed safely and efficiently where conditions permit.
Benefits
✓ Heavy lifting of large timber with minimal manual handling
✓ Faster, more efficient dismantling of large and hazardous trees
✓ 4×4 capability for difficult and remote locations
✓ Radio remote operation for maximum precision and safety
✓ Grapple and shear attachments for mechanical tree dismantling
Schäffer 548 loader
Compact Power. Maximum Efficiency.
Our Schäffer 548 compact loader plays a vital role on many tree surgery and woodland management projects. Despite its compact size, it has exceptional lifting capacity and manoeuvrability, allowing heavy timber and materials to be moved quickly while minimising manual handling and site disruption.
Its articulated steering and low ground pressure make it ideal for working in confined spaces, woodland, gardens and sensitive landscapes where larger machines would struggle.
Benefits
✓ Moves heavy timber safely and efficiently
✓ Reduces manual handling and improves site safety
✓ Compact size for excellent access to restricted areas
✓ Low ground pressure helps minimise damage to lawns and landscaping
✓ Increases productivity, helping complete projects more quickly
✓ Ideal for timber handling, loading vehicles and site clearance
Farmi 260 Biomass Chipper
Turning Waste into Valuable Biomass
Our Farmi 260 biomass chipper allows us to process large volumes of branches, brash and timber quickly and efficiently, transforming what would otherwise be waste into a valuable renewable resource.
Rather than simply disposing of timber, we aim wherever possible to recycle and reuse material. Woodchip can be used for biomass fuel, woodland paths, landscaping and habitat creation, helping to reduce waste while making the most of every project.
The Farmi's robust construction and high throughput make it ideal for everything from domestic tree work to large estate management and commercial site clearance.
Benefits
✓ Fast processing of branches and brash
✓ Reduces waste through recycling and biomass production
✓ Efficient clearance of sites following tree work
✓ Produces quality woodchip for biomass and landscaping
✓ Reduces transport and disposal costs
✓ Supports a more sustainable approach to arboriculture
Seppi BMS Forestry Mulcher
Transforming Overgrown Land
Our Seppi BMS forestry mulcher enables us to clear dense vegetation, scrub, bramble, rhododendron and small trees quickly and efficiently, converting unwanted growth into nutrient-rich mulch directly on site.
Ideal for woodland restoration, estate management, development sites and overgrown land, forestry mulching provides a fast, environmentally responsible alternative to burning or removing large volumes of vegetation.
By leaving a protective mulch layer on the ground, the process helps reduce erosion, suppresses weed growth and returns valuable organic matter to the soil.
Benefits
✓ Rapid clearance of overgrown land and dense vegetation
✓ Ideal for rhododendron, scrub and invasive species control
✓ Produces mulch on site, reducing waste removal
✓ Eliminates the need for burning in many situations
✓ Minimal ground disturbance compared with traditional clearance methods
✓ Ideal for woodland restoration, estates, farms and development sites
