Choose a shear that withstands torsion

Now that’s a big rock, how can I fit the machine to work next to it? And now I bumped into the tree I was supposed to leave untouched. Cold sweat drips down your forehead and you grind your teeth. You know you have to weld the shear back into shape. On the other hand, you can purchase a shear from us and get rid of such worries for good.

Due to the TMK shear’s unique capsular structure, it is lightweight, strong and extremely durable. TMK shears are manufactured from Hardox steel that withstands extreme wear and torsion. Top-quality materials, thoroughly tested structures and Finnish production ensure that TMK products endure the harshest of conditions.

WHY TMK?

The benefits of TMK tree shears

DESIGNED IN FINLAND, BY OPERATORS, TO OPERATORS

At TMK, we know the requirements of effective tree clearing and safe problem tree removal, as we are experienced in these operations ourselves. Based on all our know-how, we created the TMK product family, which meets the needs of both professional and occasional forestry.

Delimb, cut and collect with a single shear

The efficiency of TMK tree shears is based on enabling all three functions – delimbing, cutting and collecting – with a single hydraulic line, using electric control. The shear removes brush wood efficiently, while the single-grapple structure enables excellent visibility from the cab, facilitating the protection of retention trees from damage.

Cost-effective investment

The lightweight shear saves fuel, as it can be fitted to a smaller machine without compromising the shear’s cutting power. Due to its efficiency, the shear quickly pays for itself.

A shear that grows with your work

TMK shears feature top-of-the-class customizability. With full forestry package, even unique for a tree shear. The most popular attachments are available for shears of all sizes. We develop new attachments constantly based on our clients’ and our own experiences. Our competitors haven’t been able to keep up in this development.

Customer service that ensures your success

At TMK, customer experience is what matters. We will tell you directly whether the shear you’re about to buy suits your needs. We won’t sell you any attachments you don’t need. Rather, we only recommend the ones that provide you with significant benefits. Our genuine interest to serve does not end with a closed deal; our experts will help you with questions on shear maintenance and spare part acquisition, for example.

Beauty in simplicity – What makes TMK shears so productive?

“A simple man can’t make things too complicated.” This remark by TMK CEO Tenho Koponen has guided our work to this day. Our shear design aims at minimising unproductive work. Fitting and servicing the shear is simple – we guarantee that anyone with the slightest understanding of hydraulics and electricity can perform them.

The simple structure makes the shear extremely user-friendly. Among other attachments, the collector functions completely automatically throughout the operation, using the shear’s hydraulics, all the way until it’s time to release the cut trees. The TMK Turbo cylinder solves the problem caused by rotators that limit the hydraulic pressure, without compromising shear speed. When you run out of power with a smaller cylinder, the bigger cylinder automatically takes over and finishes the job.

Strict quality control at our production facility in Hankasalmi

Each shear is mass produced at our production facility in Hankasalmi, Finland. Manufacturing our products locally enables us to inspect each shear more carefully at every stage of production. Local production also enables us to provide more customised solutions to meet the needs of different market sectors. For example, we can easily manufacture special brackets at our facility. The brackets are welded onto bolt-attached plates, enabling a quick and easy change of brackets. This enables using the same shear with multiple machines.

We provide a full warranty for every shear, including shear blades.

THE NORMAL PRODUCTION TIME IS 2-3 WEEKS

TMK’s production facility in Hankasalmi, Finland, ensures excellent security of supply. Typically, our Finland-based clients receive their shears in a week of placing the order. Occasionally, we have managed to save a contractor in distress in a couple of days. In the high season, we send out international deliveries on a near daily basis. We provide all spare parts from the same facility.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT BASED ON INNOVATION

At TMK, doing things properly is a matter of principle. We do not develop an idea further unless it is innovative – we prefer streamlined, smart solutions. Our ambition is not only to produce innovative, high-quality implements, but also to lead the way in tree clearing and forestry.

By operators, to operators is a concept that drives all of our product development, from excavator shears to agricultural tractor shears. We always test the shears with our own machinery, and our personnel, including the CEO, engage in tree-clearing operations on an annual basis.

We perform stress tests jointly with some of our regular clients whom we know to give the shears an extremely rough ride. This way, we can be 100% sure that our shears withstand the use of the average operator.

Quality and durability guaranteed by Hardox steel

TMK shears are manufactured from Hardox steel that withstands extreme wear and torsion. Shear components are manufactured from Hardox steels of different hardness classes. We use Hardox 400, Hardox 450 and Hardox 500 steels. Shear base plates used as blades are manufactured from Hardox 500 steel. Due to its exceptionally brilliant structure, the blade lasts regardless of being thinner than its competitors. The thin blade easily sinks into the thickest of trees, and the V-shaped home base keeps the trees in a firm grip.
