Improve safety and control during lineside vegetation clearance

Use the MenSe brush cutter

Vegetation clearance around the railway requires equipment that can work accurately around tracks, infrastructure, machinery and people on site.

The MenSe Brush Cutter offers a controlled alternative to rotary cutting attachments. Available through Powerhand and Clark Engineering, it cuts through dense hedgerows, shrubs and trees without throwing debris into the surrounding area.

Controlled cutting for sensitive areas

The MenSe Brush Cutter uses two reciprocating blades that move against each other in a scissor motion.

Rather than striking and throwing vegetation away from the attachment, the blades hold and cut the material in place. This gives operators greater control when working near tracks, signalling equipment, structures and other sensitive areas.

The attachment can also work horizontally or at an angle, making it suitable for embankments, hedgerows and restricted access areas.

Built for demanding clearance work

The MenSe Brush Cutter can cut growth up to 100mm in diameter, allowing operators to tackle established shrubs, branches and smaller trees as well as lighter vegetation.

Key benefits include:

• No flying debris from rotating blades
• Greater control around railway infrastructure
• Horizontal and angled operation
• Abrasion-resistant 500 HB steel blades
• Minimal sharpening and reduced maintenance
• Excavator-mounted reach for difficult terrain

For rail contractors and vegetation management teams, the MenSe Brush Cutter provides a practical way to clear heavy vegetation while maintaining greater control over the work area.

The MenSe Excavator Brush Cutter is available through Powerhand and Clark Engineering.
