A NEW blade and hydraulic extension are among the fresh products coming to the TMK lineup this year.

The manufacturer has also unveiled a loader extension as part of a range of items “designed for professionals who crave more efficiency, speed, and ease of service”.

Leading the shake-up is a second-generation Collector attachment, which can be fitted onto the brand’s tree shears. With a completely new construction that “makes it much stronger and better performing”, the item’s spring can also now be changed in a matter of minutes, thanks to rejigged service access.

The second-generation Hydraulic Extension has also received a number of upgrades on its predecessor. More durable and serviceable, the extension has a wider and thicker frame, which results in increased torsional rigidity.

Last but not least is the Loader Extension. One of the “most requested features” on TMK’s tree shears is loading, with the manufacturer releasing two versions of the new product. The “solid one” is similar to the firm’s Solid Extension, but complete with a loader grapple and heel.

The new items will be released in the first quarter of 2024.
