In an industry where efficiency, reliability and safety can make or break the job, professional arborists and forestry contractors are looking for more than just tools – they need trusted systems. That’s where ALFA comes in.
Supplying the Australasian market with Heizohack, Jensen and Peruzzo chippers, Jake tractor mounted cranes, and PALMS forestry trailers, ALFA is fast becoming the go-to equipment partner for operators who demand serious performance and long-term reliability.
Heizohack: European-engineered chipping power
Heizohack’s and Jensen’s crane-fed drum chippers are a staple across Europe and are now making waves in New Zealand and Australia – and for good reason.
Built for processing everything from leafy branches to full logs, these machines are designed for biomass-grade chip quality, high throughput, and low fuel consumption.
With capacities to handle logs up to 800mm in diameter, these machines are ideal for land clearing, arboricultural-waste processing, and commercial biomass and animal bedding supplies. The massive flywheel, coupled with stress-controlled feed rollers and hydraulic ejection, ensures a smooth, jam-free workflow, even under the toughest conditions.
Modular design also allows pairing with tractors or trucks, meaning they can fit into a range of operations, from rural contracting to municipal tree management.
Jake mounts: crane integration made simple
Traditionally, mounting a crane to a tractor has been a time-consuming and invasive process. Jake mounting systems change that.
Engineered in Finland, Jake systems allow PALMS and other cranes to be securely and safely mounted to the front or rear of standard tractors without custom fabrication or structural compromise. This not only reduces setup costs and downtime, but also ensures a clean, factory-grade finish with optimal load distribution.
Combined with Heizohack and Jensen, Jake mounts enable front-mounted cranes to feed rear-mounted chippers, keeping everything compact, balanced, and operator-friendly.
PALMS: trailers and cranes built for the bush
Whether you’re extracting logs from a steep gully or moving chip and brushwood across a job site, PALMS forestry trailers and cranes deliver the strength and manoeuvrability professionals need. Their rugged construction, hydraulic support stability, and intelligent control systems make them ideal for NZ’s and Australia’s demanding off-road terrain.
From compact models suited to tight urban sites, to heavy-duty trailers for full forestry loads, PALMS solutions are designed to work smarter, not harder.
