The vulnerability of conventional straight blades, highlighted by rental companies, when contaminants such as soil and nails are inadvertently introduced into the chipper, means that users often find that sharpening and even the replacement of blades become necessary all too frequently. Following the introduction of the Disc-Blade system in 1995 these issues have been greatly reduced. As a result, these innovative round blades are now the preferred choice of many contractors. Unless requested, all GreenMech hydraulic machines are fitted with Disc-Blades as standard.

Wood chippers are some of the loudest machines working in the urban environment and because of this, GreenMech have been at the forefront of the technological drive to produce more quiet machines. Additionally, GreenMech has been a supporter of the UK Health & Safety Executive’s Buy Quiet campaign for many years to highlight issues around noise-induced hearing loss in the workplace. Since 2006 all new developed products by GreenMech have incorporated significant noise reduction features. For example, the noise level on the latest Arborist range is 115dB which shows a significant reduction on comparative models.
