Meanwhile, Blue Machinery (Spares) provides genuine OEM parts across the UK, supported by expert teams operating from their Warrington and Stirling depots.

The TH3 tree handler, a standout of the of the Green-Tec range, was first introduced to the UK market at the APF show in September and captured significant attention from those in attendance.
Following on from its debut at APF, we hosted a series a series of VIP demo days taking place over the course of three weeks in November, at a private estate in Staffordshire. The demo days allowed customers to test out the machine in real-world conditions. Such was the success of the event, extra slots were added to cope with the demand to experience the performance and capabilities of the machine.
“It is the perfect machine for dismantling large trees on the roadside and over the top of embankments,” said one operator. “It is extremely stable and is easy to use, with a very comfortable cab providing excellent visibility. All the buttons and joy sticks are in the right place, and it’s got plenty of power. I can’t find fault with it.”
Designed for power and precision, the TH3 features a Palfinger telescopic boom with a 12.8m reach, which enables operators to tackle hard to reach branches and treetops. Its award winning raiseable and tilting cabin offers excellent visibility with the ability to tilt up to 30 degrees when working up high. It also features all-wheel drive and all-wheel steering for a reduced turning radius, which is particularly useful when working within a forest.
Due to nature of the work involved, Green-Tec offer guarding on all key pieces, such as protection on the boom, exhaust and air filters on top of the machine.
With a powerful hydraulic circuit to easily handle those tough jobs, the machine features a factory fitted, industry leading Vosch grapple saw. Manufactured from high-strength Swedish alloy steel, it makes light work of safely dismantling trees and loading wagons.
