A broad attachment range covering most excavator-based forestry and vegetation tasks from 1.5-tonne mini excavators through to 35-tonne carriers. Distributed in Australia by Randalls.
OMEF covers most of what an excavator-based forestry or vegetation contractor needs: tree shears, stump shears, forestry pruners, mulchers, grapple saws and stump planers, spanning carriers from 1.5-tonne mini excavators to 35-tonne machines.
The commercial logic is attachment-based flexibility. A land-clearing business running a 20-30 tonne excavator can cover felling, grappling, pruning, stump removal and mulching from one carrier, generating revenue across civil earthworks, demolition, vegetation clearing, log handling, tree removal, stump removal, road construction and drainage. That spread substantially reduces asset concentration risk.
The Big Inch shear range illustrates how wide the category really is — from 140 kg units for 1.5-3 tonne carriers to 2,400 kg heads requiring 250-300 L/min on 30-tonne-plus machines. Those extremes are genuinely different machines, and comparing them on maximum cut diameter alone tells a buyer very little.
An equipment reference that only says where a brand fits is a brochure.
For commercial forestry the dealer is part of the equipment. Entries marked as confirmed were checked against the supplier's own published information.
Where another supplier would genuinely serve the same requirement better.
Published specifications, commercial fit and verification points for each.
Mid-size stump shear for 12-20 t carriers — 900 mm opening, up to 70 t cylinder force.
Heavy stump shear for 20-35 t carriers — 1,400 mm opening, up to 90 t cylinder force.
420 kg shear for 8-14 t excavators, 300 mm published maximum cut — the regrowth and fence-line workhorse.
1,810 kg shear for 23-30 t excavators with 600 mm published maximum cut.
2,400 kg shear for 30 t+ carriers needing ~250-300 L/min — a different category from compact shears.
Compact 390 kg grapple saw for 5-8 t excavators with 360-degree control and 1,500 kg workload.
550 kg excavator pruning head for 10-24 t carriers — ~410 mm green cut, 360-degree rotation.
Benchmark specifications, buying criteria and specification traps for each class.
Turns an ordinary excavator into a controlled tree-cutting machine — the fastest-growing attachment category.
Grips before it cuts, and keeps control of the severed section — the attachment for working near assets.
Turns an existing excavator into a dedicated pruning platform — no second carrier required.
A specialised removal business, not conventional logging — and never quote it by visible diameter.
Does not grind the stump — it penetrates, splits, loosens, extracts and handles it.
