Tree-bending simulator
Sawing tree trunks under tension is one of the most dangerous activities when working with a chainsaw. The S&Ü tree-bending simulator has been specially developed for training with chainsaws. You can use it to train the correct sawing technique for emergencies, for example after a storm. The tree-bending simulator places the logs under tensile or compressive stress to simulate real conditions.
Special feature of the S&Ü tree-bending simulator:
- Only one person is required for loading, set-up and de-installation when using a platform trailer (for a total weight of 1,350 kg).
- Simply drive the trailer under the platform, crank up the supports, fold up the platforms and use the attachment points to secure the load.
- Ideal for exercises in changing locations by the fire brigade, municipal tree care, in the forestry industry or the technical relief organisation (THW).
