Wedgetek Felling Wedges
If safety is your first priority - then Wedgetek is the name you can trust.
A felling wedge is designed to help to direct the direction in which your tree will fall. Simply drive the wedge into a back cut as soon as there is space behind the saw and finish cutting. The wedge will create a mechanical lifting force that pushes the center of gravity of the tree away from you.
Wedgetek wedges are designed to enhance safety and improve productivity within the forestry industry.
Made locally here in New Zealand and developed using an innovative modified rubberised polymer engineering resin, Wedgetek wedges are designed to endure much higher impact forces than other wedges on the market, resulting in a high-strength, impact resistant, near indestructible wedge that lasts substantially longer, improves safety and reduces costs. This material has excellent impact strength and does not accumulate internal stress after repeated impact. Therefore, there is minimal wedge failure through cracking and / or exploding into pieces potentially causing eye or facial injuries. The plastic construction is also soft enough that it will not damage your logging chain if it accidentally comes in contact with the wedge.
Wedgetek wedges are available in five sizes:
6 inch: 150mm length x 72mm wide x 25mm lift
8 inch: 200mm length x 80mm wide x 25mm lift
10 inch: 250mm length x 90mm wide x 30mm lift
12 inch: 300mm length x 100mm wide x 33mm lift
14 inch: 350mm length x 120mm wide x 35mm lift
Why choose Wedgetek?
The original New Zealand made WedgeTek Heavy Duty “SPIKED” Forestry Tree Felling Safety Wedges – Virtually Unbreakable!
If safety, strength and reliability matter, choose WedgeTek – the heavy-duty forestry wedge trusted by professional arborists, forestry contractors, farmers and firewood cutters.
Virtually Unbreakable! Unlike many standard plastic wedges that can crack or shatter after repeated hammering, WedgeTek wedges are manufactured from a specially engineered modified polymer with exceptional impact resistance.
This advanced material:
Absorbs repeated heavy impacts
Resists cracking and splitting
Will not shatter into dangerous fragments
Delivers a long service life even under demanding forestry conditions
Designed to handle years of hard use.
Built for Safety
A good wedge is one of the most important safety tools when felling trees.
WedgeTek helps:
Saves your chain
Prevents your chainsaw bar from becoming pinched
Encourage the tree to fall in your intended direction
Reduce the risk of back lean trapping your saw
Increase control during difficult felling situations
The aggressive moulded spikes grip securely in the back cut to minimise slipping while driving the wedge.
Chainsaw Friendly
The engineered polymer is tough enough to withstand repeated impacts while remaining softer than your chainsaw chain. If your chain accidentally contacts the wedge, it is far less likely to damage your chain than striking steel.
