Wedges

Wedges for arborists

Felling wedges are a fundamental tool in tree felling and section removal. They are used to control the felling direction, relieve stress on the saw cut, and increase safety throughout the felling process.

How arborists use wedges

• Directional control – helps guide the tree in the desired felling direction.
• Prevent saw pinching – keeps the cut open and protects the bar & chain.
• Section felling – used for removal in sections from the ground or a lift.
• Precision in confined spaces – crucial when felling near buildings or power lines.

Different types of wedges

In this category, you'll find everything from small plastic wedges for precision work to heavy-duty felling wedges and mechanical solutions for larger trees. Wedge holsters and special tools are also available for easy access during work.

For professional tree felling

Modern arborist wedges are made from durable materials that can withstand high impact forces without damaging the chainsaw chain. Many models have a gripping texture or barbs to sit securely in the cut.

The right wedge not only makes the work more efficient – it is an important part of safety in every controlled felling.
