Based in Rumst, Belgium, Den Houthakker engages in professional tree removal on a daily basis. The company also carries out a wide range of work, such as pruning, chopping, forest milling, stump milling, tree planting and felling.
The Mecalac 10MCR was chosen for this diverse work, which is mostly used for mechanical sawing of trees with a Groeneveldt circular saw-gripper. This gripper is also used for clearing and loading the felled trees and logs.
The 10MCR is custom built for this deployment. For example, the machine is equipped with cab protection for operator safety, steel tracks with rubber blocks, LED work lights, air conditioning and mode change on the left joystick. Thanks to the Faster hydraulic quick coupler, attachments can be changed quickly. The 2,550 mm wide closed bucket also allows efficient loading of wood chips into Walking Floor trailers.
A thoughtful machine configuration that perfectly suits Den Houthakker's versatile operations.
