Description
CMB’s PW Series de-forestation shear is a purpose-built tree shear for excavators, designed to fell trees quickly and safely while gathering shrubs and cut material in a single, controlled workflow. Developed to expand CMB’s forestry offering, it targets demanding vegetation management—from dense forest stands to riverbanks and marshy ground—where stability, precision and durability matter. With robust construction and multiple rotation choices, PW shears help operators clear sites efficiently and handle timber with confidence.

Sales Director
I began my engineering career at Stockport College in around 2005, first completing a National Diploma in Electrical Engineering, followed by a Higher National Diploma in Mechanical Engineering. I then progressed to the University of Salford, where I earned a BEng (Hons) degree in Mechanical Engineering.
After graduating, I started my professional career with Approved Hydraulics. I initially gained a combination of hands-on workshop experience and telephone-based sales experience. In later years, I moved into a full-time sales role and led the new crane and excavator attachments department that the company had recently established.
CMB PWE Series Tree Shear
Built for challenging terrain, the PW Series performs on flat ground, slopes and wetlands, making it well suited to riverbank works, swampy areas and dense forest thinning. It’s also used for roadside and path maintenance where safe placement of cut trees is critical. Hydraulically controlled rotation (offered in three configurations) lets the operator position the tree before and after the cut, reducing uncontrolled falls even in confined work zones. This control streamlines stacking or collection and keeps the work area safer.
Durability is central to the PW design. A heavy-duty (HD) reinforced frame supports a sturdy cutting mechanism engineered to minimise wear and keep routine servicing straightforward. An easy, strong fixed-blade system simplifies blade access, while hardened pins and bushings with spiroil improve longevity under high side loads and abrasive conditions. The blade cylinder with brake helps control the cut, and heavy-duty seals protect key hydraulics, supporting consistent performance cycle after cycle. These details contribute to low wear and maintenance.
The range includes four models for excavators from about 8 to 35 tonnes, with weights from roughly 690 to 2,935 kg (without the Multigrip option), so you can match the shear to your carrier and typical stem size. Optional equipment such as the Multigrip collector arm, fitted with a safety valve, improves grip for collecting shrubs and handling logs once trees are down. Fast blade replacement and low-maintenance construction help minimise machine downtime and maximise daily output.
